England are out of the World Cup – but you can still bet on them!
With England’s latest World Cup failures heading home from another humiliating exit from the Beautiful Game’s top event, Paddy Power are betting on who amongst the manager and players are likely to be put out to pasture.
Who is going to jump from the England Set-up? :
————————————————–
First and foremost manager Fabio Capello future looks doomed with the odds at just 1/2 (1.50) that Capello has left the post by the time of England’s next match against Hungary on August 11th. Its 6/4 Capello survives.
In a likely clear out of an ageing squad Paddy Power is also taking bets on who will officially announce their retirement from international football before England’s next match against Hungary on August 11th.
35 year old David Beckham, never shy of an impeccably timed media announcement, is the shortest price to call it a day at 4/9 (1.44) followed by 39 year old keeper David James at 4/7. (1.63) Other big names being tipped to retire include Rio Ferdinand and John Terry at 6/1 with Steven Gerrard 10/1.
