With under two weeks before England play their opening match in the 2010 World Cup the online bookmaker Ladbrokes are going top price of 7/1 for victory in South Africa. In the qualifying matches England looked really good but the wheels have begun to fall off since the start of the year. They lost their captain John Terry due to his off the field transgressions. Wayne Bridge then counted himself out of the tournament, which was the direct fall out of this scandal. Rio Ferdinand's form has been patchy to say the least and Gareth Barry is still a doubt on the eve of Capello's announcement of his final 23.

While Capello has tried all his players in his squad in their 2 warm up matches, they have been less than impressive in both their games against Mexico last Monday and Japan at the weekend. The one thing that seems to have not been affected is that little bit of luck needed in football matches. England beat Japan by 2 goals to 1 on Sunday without scoring, one does have to wonder if all England's luck is being used up before the tournament has started.
One just gets the impression that the England players are jaded following a long hard season with the only players looking fresh being Joe and Ashley Cole who spent most of the winter on the sidelines with injuries. In that match against Japan three key players looked to be nursing themselves through the game with knocks that looked a little more serious than they wanted to let on. Terry, Ferdinand and Gerrard all looked less than comfortable with their bodies at various stages in this game.

Another factor that suggests that all is not well is the aggression from Wayne Rooney, it is very evident that when things are going well in the squad he has a very positive demeanor, but anyone watching yesterday will have noticed that he is pretty tetchy at the moment.
Another factor for some concern is the growing uncertainty regarding Capello himself with Inter Milan obviously courting his services for next season, as they say there is no smoke without fire.
It is little wonder that Ladbrokes have pushed out England's price to a more realistic 7/1 and there is little doubt that many of the other online bookies will follow suits over the coming days.
Spain 7/2
Brazil 9/2
England 7/1
Argentina 7/1
Holland 11
