Croatia sit atop Group C after defeating Republic of Ireland but despite their draw today, Spain and Italy remain favourites to make it through to the knockout stages. William Hill make Spain 1/5 to go through and 3/1 second favourites to win the tournament. Ireland, however, are 9/1 to qualify from their group and a huge 100/1 to win the tournament.

Given how difficult Irelands group is, this was a game where the boys in green needed to get something, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. Unfortunately that was not the case and they now face even more of an uphill challenge.

Englands Women eased through to the Quarter final stage of the womens World Cup although William Hill think that a place in the Semi Finals will be a step too far for Hope Powells offering 4/7 that they are knocked out in the next round. They are 2/1 to be knocked out in the Semi Finals, 7/1 to be runners up and 20/1 to win the tournament. Kelly Smith, once again, failed to find the net against Japan and Hills are offering Even money that she fails to score a goal at any point during the tournament.

England finally upped their game against Japan but the odds suggest they will be faced with an uphill challenge, whoever the face in the next round, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

England Women Hills Odds:

Stage of elimination: 4/7 Quarter Final; 2/1 Semi Final; 7/1 Runner Up; 20/1 Winner
