Read a betting article suggesting that a possibly lucrative option is looking at England's top scorer market. They point out that we may score very few goals & that Upson was joint top scorer at the last World Cup.

 

I found Lescott at 66/1 and had a fiver on it.

 

Don't ever bet on footie but that's a very good shout.

 

You could easily see England doing something like 0-0, 1-1, and losing 1-3. That means only 2 goals in the tournament, and you have to think the odds that someone like Lescott scores one of them, while still low, have to be better than 66/1.

England in a major international tournament with Roy at the helm - this could go the kind of wrong they write books about. I'm looking forward to it.

 

The under/over on the first thread bitching about commentators/pundits is 4 games.

I'm not a betting man, but I wouldn't go for the obvious players to score the first goal of the tournament, simply based on recent history (ie, the last 10 years) which is as follows:

 

2002 - Pape Bouba Diop (Senegal v France)

2004 - Giorgios Karagounis (Greece v Portugal)

2006 - Philipp Lahm (Germany v Costa Rica)

2008 - Vaclav Sverkos (Czech Republic v Switzerland)

2010 - Siphiwe Tshabalala (South Africa v Mexico)

 

All of whom would have had long odds on being the first goalscorer. On that basis, if I had to choose the first goalscorer, I'd go for Maciej Rybus of Poland.

 

Now watch as somebody much more obvious like Lewandowski or Gekas gets the first!

loud & clear "YNWA" & "Steve Gerrard" from polish LFC supporters @ England's training earlier today.

 

I can't stand euro so I'm leaving Warsaw for vacation in some more quiet place.

 

So you not waiting for Howard Webb to be involved in a game in Poland then. I dont expect him to comeback to England if he does have a game in Poland.
