William Hill OFFER 33/1 THAT FABIO CAPELLO WILL BE SEEN ON SCREEN BLOWING A VUVUZELA AT ANY STAGE OF THE WORLD CUP FINALS.’The vuvuzela is the unexpected symbol of the World Cup – but you suspect England will have to win the trophy for Fabio to go anywhere near one!’

William Hill MAKE ROBERT GREEN 4/7 FAVOURITE to start in goal for England’s second game, with David James offered at 15/8 and Joe Hart at 6/1. ‘This must be the best kept secret in football history’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is vIrtually unheard of to be able to bet on something of this nature within twenty four hours of kick off time.’

YOU BET GERRARD WILL KEEP GOAL-SCORING RUN GOING

STEVEN GERRARD has scored three of England’s last five goals and is 5/4 to notch again against Algeria.

But Wayne Rooney is favourite to end up as England’s top scorer with Hills at 13/8, with Gerrard at 5/2. Lampard is 6/1, with Crouch 8/1; Defoe and Heskey 12/1.

14/1 ENGLAND TO WIN NEXT TWO GAMES – AND THE WORLD CUP!

ENGLAND are 14/1 with Hills to defeat both Algeria and Slovenia, and then go on to win the World Cup. ‘This should be an attractive bet for anyone who fancies England to go all the way – because if they can’t win both of these matches they won’t have much chance of lifting the trophy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND are 1/4 to beat Algeria, 11/1, with the draw 9/2. To win Group: 8/15 England; 3/1 USA; 19/5 Slovenia; 66/1 Algeria.

WORLDWIDE WEBB?…Ref Howard Webb will be secretly hoping England fail to reach the World Cup Final – because if they do that will scupper his chances of being handed to top job for the game’s arbiters.

Webb performed well in his first game of the tournament and Hills quote him at 6/1 to get the nod to ref the Final. (Stakes refunded if England reach Final).
