World Cup Winner Betting Drift For England - 06-19-10
June 19 - Bashing England sports team isn't a sport of its own, it's more like a hallowed pastime enjoyed by all especially the English who like nothing better than to be self-critical. This follows a delusional period of heady confidence, just before the start of an event or tournament, and that was the case in the 2010 World Cup.
Before the tournament started many in the English press predicted that their boys would win it all. But they failed to beat the USA and looked even worse against a poor Algeria team, with both games ending in draws. There is now a very real chance that England might not make it out of their Group and winning the tournament looks all but impossible.
The defense is uninspiring without Ferdinand to anchor them, the midfield is a mess with Gerrard and Lampard hating to play with one another and the other midfielders not of international caliber. The strikers are either unfit (Rooney) or unfit to play at this level (Heskey, Crouch). Slovenia might well beat this motley bunch.
As a result most sports books have pushed England out to double-digits in terms of their odds to win the 2010 World Cup. You can get 11s and even 12s and we feel that price is still overvaluing England. These guys couldn't beat Argentina or Brazil or even the Dutch on current form.
Today's action sees Holland facing Japan in an interesting clash before Ghana have the opportunity to be the first African team to stake a claim for a second round berth in their game against the woeful Australians.
