Football World Cup 2010
Fabio Capello's reputation as one of the best coaches of
his generation means that patriotic England fans could well
be tempted into having a punt on their teams chances of
winning the World Cup in 2010. Certainly, with the
tournament still a long way down the road, England could
well offer good value to punters if the Italian works his
magic on the perennial under-performing team, totesport,
Better and Stan James currently offering 10/1 on the side to
win football's greatest prize.
Those optimists could say that England got off to a good
start, with a Shaun Wright Phillips goals securing a 2-1
home win against Switzerland in the first home friendly at
the new Wembley Stadium. It is clear that Capello is still
tinkering with the squad, and im sure there will be many
changes leading up to England's first qualifier in
September.
As you'd expect, three time winners Brazil are currently
the bookies favourites to win the 2010 tournament outright
though, with Skybet offering 9/2 on the Samba boys and
Ladbrokes, Coral and totesport all offering around 4/1. The
current World Cup holders Italy are an attractive looking
8/1 with betfred, while those looking for more value may
like the look of Germany at 12/1 or the Czech Republic, who
for the first time look massive at 50/1. Of course, given
that England have not qualified for the World Cup yet,
punters may opt to look at the other markets such as picking
the top England goalscorer in the upcoming World Cup
qualifying campaign which gets underway in September.
There are certainly some familiar names among the
favourites, including Wayne Rooney who Blue Square have at
2/1 to top the list. The form of Michael Owen may still be a
worry for those punters looking at England's attacking
options, and he doesn't offer much appeal at 11/4. It is
still not clear who Capello regards as his top two strikers,
and Peter Crouch, who has an excellent goal scoring record
for England has more appeal at around 4/1. Steven Gerrard is
one player who much is expected of, and if he is given the
captains armband he may flourish under the leadership of
Capello. The Liverpool ace is 12/1 to be England's top
scorer during the qualifying campaign.
For those pessimists who don't like the look of the new
England, Bluesq offer 5/2 that they will not qualify for the
tournament, although we are not sure how the country will
survive after failing to qualify for Euro 2008 after a
instantly forgettable campaign headed by Steve 'Umbrella
Man' McLaren.
