Spain And Croatia Say No-no To Two-two

After topping Group C, William Hill make Spain the 2/1 favourites to win the Euros for the second time in a row, while Italy, who finished second in the group, are 10/1. The 2-2 draw that was tentatively predicted pre match never materialised and Spain can now look forward to a potential match up with England in the quarter finals. England look likely to finish in second in group D, with Hills offering 11/10 that they do so and 2/1 that they win it.

“There were some who thought that Spain and Croatia would play out a 2-2 draw to ensure they both qualified, so much so that we were forced to offer that result at 4/1, although, by the time kick off arrived, we were out to 8/1 about it and I think our punters realised that there was no reason to believe that the match would be played in anything but the right spirit,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “And right they were.”

Giovanni Trapattoni has only just signed a new contract as Ireland manager, but his reign could come to an end after the country’s poor showing at Euro 2012 and William Hill make Mick McCarthy the 5/1 favourite to become the next boss, with new Norwich manager, Chris Hughton, 9/1 second favourite.

Euro 2012 Outright: 2/1 Spain; 9/4 Germany; 13/2 Portugal; 7/1 France; 10/1 Italy; 12/1 England; 33/1 Czech Republic; 50/1 Greece; 100/1 Ukraine

Next Republic of Ireland manager: 5/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Chris Hughton; 10/1 Marco Tardelli; 10/1 David O’Leary; 12/1 Brian McDerott; 16/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Liam Brady; 20/1 Pat Fenlon; 20/1 Johnny Giles; 20/1 Noel King; 25/1 BAR

William Hill Scottish Junior Cup Odds

WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH JUNIOR CUP ODDS……..
BACK TO THE FUTURE
Linlithgow Rose are aiming for their 4th Junior Cup win, their last being in 2007 while Largs Thistle are aiming to win it for the second time, their only other win being in 1994. Its Largs’ last victory in 1994 that starts to throw up some coincendences…..
In 1994 Dundee Utd won the Scottish Cup for thier first time in their history – last weekend they won it for the second time.
In 1994 there was a World Cup taking place, won by Brazil – fast forward 16 years a World Cup takes place in South Africa.
In 1994 Chelsea reached the FA Cup Final albeit losing to Man Utd – in 2010 they again reached the final but this time won it.
In 1994 Inter Milan reached a European Final – winning the UEFA Cup – on Saturday they play in the Champions League Final.
In 1994 Walter Smith won the Manager of the Year Award – he won the title again this season.
If you believe in omens then it looks like Largs only have to turn up on Sunday as it’s in the stars.
William Hill have priced up some specials for those looking to cash in on the superstition –
Largs to win the Junior Cup, Inter Milan to win the Champions League and Brazil to win the World Cup pays 25/1 or
if you want to follow it exactly to the past you can have 14/1 on Largs and Brazil.
All is not lost though if you follow Linlithgow as in the year of their last victory Chelsea won the FA Cup and a side from Milan (albeit AC) competed in the Champions League Final.
