BOOKMAKERS William Hill, who take bets from punters in 188 countries worldwide, say that punters betting online can’t split England and Spain as their favourites. ‘We always expect England to be the most popular choice in our betting shops, but online is a different matter – although we are taking bets from many ex-pat punters we also deal with clients from virtually every country in the world. By and large their choices are closely in line with the betting, although Ivory Coast and USA are perhaps punching above their odds weight!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We are expecting that World Cup turnover online will account for up to 25% of our total tournament betting turnover’

Which will be the first England Player to be substituted in the World Cup Finals?

JAMES STILL FAVOURITE TO START IN GOAL

DAVID JAMES is 4/6 favourite with William Hill to start the game against USA in goal for England. Hills make Robert Green 7/4 with Joe Hart 5/1 outsider. ‘Capello plays his cards so close to his chest that noone can predict with certaintly which of the three keepers will get the nod to start the opening game.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’The keeper the punters have wanted to back recently has been Rob Green, who at one stage drifted out to 11/2.’

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which player will rack up the greatest number of minutes on the pitch for England during the World Cup, and make Ashley Cole and John Terry 9/2 joint favourites. ‘Cole and Terry are the obvious front runners but tactical switches, injuries and substitutions can all play their part in making this an open market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
