England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

You Bet Green Would Glove To Play For England Again!

Following the news that Rob Green has withdrawn himself from England duty indefinitely, William Hill have opened a market on who will be the next English goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart). Despite their recent announcements, Rob Green is the 9/4 favourite, while Ben Foster is 5/2. Other contenders in the frame to be England’s number two are Scott Carson at 3/1, Scott Loach at 9/2 and Paul Robinson at 14/1.

“Rob Green and Ben Foster have obviously grown tired of playing second fiddle to Joe Hart, but our odds suggest that if England’s number one was to suffer an injury or a lack of form, they may well consider a return to the international fold,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next English Goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart): 9/4 Rob Green; 5/2 Ben Foster; 3/1 Scott Carson; 9/2 Scott Loach; 14/1 Paul Robinson; others on request

The first foreign manager (excluding O’Neill) to appear in Hill’s betting is Jose Mourinho, offered at 14/1, followed by Guus Hiddink at 16/1.

Tottenham Face Uphill Struggle To Match Champs League Heroics Next Season
