So…
England to win – 1/2
Slovenia – 6/1 or better
Draw – 10/3.
Now come on, we’re a clever bunch, where does the value lie in in that puzzle?
Zip
Ps,
And why are Spain odds on to win their group?!
If Chile get a win or a draw against them and the Swiss do for Honduras then it’s goodnight Vienna for the Spaniards! So impossible to believe?

Effectively, if Spain beat Chile they will top the group… and in a match between Spain and Chile, Spain will be odds on to win the match so not sure where you are coming from.
Admitedly, if Switzerland beat Honduras more than Spain beat Chile then the Swiss will top the group but the odds are definitely correct.
That’s not to say Spain will win the group, all I am saying is that the odds are correct. Personally I think Spain v Chile will be an incredibly tight match – a draw will probably mean goodnight Spain as I’m confident the Swiss will beat Honduras, albeit probably narrowly.
For those still clinging to the shreds of their Ante-Post vouchers on England to win the World Cup,they have to compare them to the racehorse called Binocular,he too started his campaign like a donkey and after several more donkey like efforts he goes and wins the Champion hurdle!The Donkeys wearing England shirts are genuinely struggling and for them to get any further in this tournament they will have to raise their game to a Champion hurdle like level.In my opinion Binocular was always going to be the biggest threat to anything in this years race even when he "Played badly",unfortunately England haven"t been laid out for the World cup final and in my opinion to offer 1/2 about them beating Slovenia is the Lay of the year!
England and their World Cup chances were summed up perfectly on a TV programme, I can’t remember which one as I haven’t really been following the competition that closely.
"England are like an X factor contestant who can’t sing a note, hyped up to the hilt by a doting Mum and Dad (Press and Fans) who are convinced they are the next Jack White (1967 Scotland XI)
Full of hope they are dragged up infront of the panel (Algeria) and suddenly they realise what everyone else knew….they are rubbish.
After three notes (games) the buzzer sounds and they head off back home with their tails between their legs, their (always unobtainable) dreams in tatters and the jeers of their (adoring) public ringing in their ears"Slovenia 2 England 0, Ist goal late in the first half after the England players start arguing amongst themselves, breakaway second goal well into the second half when Joe Cole finally gets on, kick and rush is the default setting and even David James is being thrown into the attack in utter desperation.
Its hard enough being a legend of knowledge in one sport Cheltenham but you could be a legend in 2 mate with that appraisal!
