FOSTER STARTING ODDS SHORTENED
AFTER GETTING the nod to start against Breazil, Ben Foster has been shortened from 8/1 to 6/1 to start in goal when England line up for their opening game of the World Cup. ‘Foster is one of the few to emerge from the game with his standing enhanced, although lack of games at United will not be in his favour’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS MAKE WAYNE ROONEY 10/1 TO START ANY ENGLAND WORLD CUP FINALS MATCH AS SKIPPER. ‘Wayne did nothing wrong as skipper but he is behind at least a couple of others in the pecking order unless injuries intervene’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
