    £1000 just laid down in the bookies England don't make it through the next round...

    Think it would be money well spent?

      I don't. You don't even know if they will make it out of their group or who it would be against in the next round so sounds daft to me.

      If you want to throw your pennies away (£1000, ffs are you a contractor or what?) you'd be better off putting it on black or red on the roulette table as opposed to this inane proposition.

      It's your money though

        Nah... better off putting it on Scotland not qualifying for the next world cup... the odds will be quite short though.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Yes I am... but I never start these things.

              Do you mean "don't make it to the quarters" or "don't qualify from the group"?

                This is my question too.

                I'd be interested in what odds you get.

                  Dunno but I can get 4-1 on Ivory Coast being the top African side, and better than 8-1 on them making the semis, which I reckon might be worth a fiver.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    England 4/7 to win the group 1/10 to qualify from the group.

                    England to reach quarter finals 1/2
