PaddyPower has pushed out the odds on England winning this summer’s much coveted World Cup from 11/2 to 6/1 with the Terry scandal threatening to throw Fabio Capello’s meticulous plans into disarray. With England seemingly unable to approach a major tournament without being engulfed in some scandal or other the John Terry rumpus can only do harm to their World Cup bid and risks disuniting a dressing room seemingly all pulling in the same direction under Capello.
Steven Gerrard is the odds on favourite with PaddyPower to be the named England’s World Cup Captain after disgraced John Terry lost the armband today. The online bookmaker has him at 10/11 to be named the next leader of the Three Lions with Rio Ferdinand his nearest challenger at 3/1. Wayne Rooney and Frank Lamaprd follow in the betting at 9/2 and 7/1 respectively with David Beckham 25/1 for a return. Wayne Bridge is the 250/1 outsider.
Darren Haines, spokesman for paddypower.com said: “Terry’s left Capello with little option but to look elsewhere but it has come as little surprise to punters who have been backing Gerrard all week.”
