There are just 100 days to go until the start of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and as a result, bookmaker Paddy Power have released a number of special 100/1 bets to mark this occasion.
England play Egypt in an International friendly at Wembley tonight, but manager Fabio Capello has bigger worries, specifically in defense with Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand injured, Wayne Bridge discounting himself from selection and John Terry woefully out of form. Tonight's match will at least give Capello the chance to try out some different players in those positions.
On the lighter side of things, Irish bookmaker Paddy Power have come up with an array of 100/1 shots for the World Cup. If you fancy David Beckham to net from a free-kick in the World Cup final or Wayne Rooney to either score a hat-trick or be sent off, you can back these outcomes at 100/1 with Paddy Power.

Back to tonight's match, England will be hoping that Egypt can provide a similar playing style to World Cup Group C opponents Algeria, with the Egyptians looking an attractive 8/1 to win the match. With injuries to the English defense and the current distractions of John Terry's misdemeanors fresh in the mind, the recent African Cup of Nations winners could well cause an upset.
One English player who is in cracking form at the moment is Wayne Rooney and you can back him to score the first goal with a header at 6/1 with Paddypower.
