World Cup Betting: Gamble On 2018 Host

As Wayne Rooney contemplates his navel, Steven Gerard plans to go out this evening and Frank Lampard gleans the only bit of glory as Fifa recognize the need for Goal line technology, World Cup Betting looks to the future and encourages the punter to gamble on the 2018 host. Bookmakers Paddy Power name London as favourite at 5/4!

Clearly hosting is not a reward for performance otherwise Spain and Portugal and Belgium and Holland would not be behind the UK in the list of Odds. England's weak and well documented attempts at winning the World Cup trophy this Summer will lead to a lot of post mortems by the ruling bodies and the resulting shake ups will probably take a couple of seasons to take effect. The promise of football finally coming home to its birthplace could be just the carrot to focus minds and hearts throughout the profession.

The Olympic games in 2012 is the next sporting focus for the country and in an economy down turn is bound to be concerning a government that is keen for everyone to tighten their belts although the feel good factor of home success would be something that the coalition would be happy to embrace.

To have another International sporting event in London only six years after the Olympic Games could herald either be a triumph or a disaster. If the Olympics go well and England do well, the prospect of another opportunity to raise the profile of GB plc will be music to the ears, but if the balance sheet is red and the successes are few there is sure to be endless debates about the value of clamouring to host these huge events.

All that is clear is that England will have to improve their side in the next 8 years to ensure that football coming home is not one of the least exciting parties in town!
