Major Injury Might Damage England in World Cup Betting
Wednesday, 9. June 2010 22:14
After captain Rio Ferdinand injured his right knee in training on Friday, England’s chances of winning in 2010 World Cup betting were hurt as well.
Michael Dawson will be replacing Ferdinand, who is out on the lineup in the 2010 World Cup, according to reports. The loss of Ferdinand does have an effect on England in World Cup probabilities as he was the captain and a important player in the midfield.
2010 World Cup betting probabilities post England as the 5-1 third option to take the championship behind only Spain and Brazil. There is no question losing Ferdinand is a hit to England’s prospects, although the probabilities probably won’t move much on England since they are such a well-liked squad. Steven Gerrard is anticipated to be named captain in Ferdinand’s spot. While Dawson replaces Ferdinand on the lineup, it’s quite possible that Jamie Carragher, Matthew Upson or Ledley King will get his position next to John Terry.
Ferdinand was injured for much of the Premier League season and only started 12 games for Manchester United. Even though the news on Ferdinand was bad, the news concerning midfielder Gareth Barry was good. He is training for the first time after hurting his ankle a month ago. The loss of Ferdinand surely affects England in 2010 World Cup betting but it can be overcome. It is not like the loss that Ivory Coast suffered on Friday when they lost top scorer Didier Drogba. There is no question that Ferdinand is not the player he was a year ago, and England has the depth to replace him anyway. His injuries have taken their toll. Losing him as the captain does hurt so it will be up to Gerrard to prove he can manage the role. On paper, the loss of Ferdinand is not a disaster as England has in fact won about the same number of games with Ferdinand in the roster as lacking him on the pitch.
England starts off with the united states in a crucial Group C game on Saturday. The 2010 World Cup probabilities list England as a major favorite to win that game. The three-way soccer betting line has England at -250, the united states at 630 and the Draw at 300. The total on the game is 2.5 under.
The FIFA 2010 World Cup will commence on June 11th and is anticipated to play through July 11th. An African country will be hosting the World Cup for the first time in history this year. Morocco and Egypt were trumped by South Africa for the honor. The FIFA World Cup is held one time every four years and features 32 teams from different nations playing against each other for the tournament in football. Brazil, which holds a record five titles and is the only squad to have competed in every tournament, has historically dominated this event. Italy is the current champ. They have won the championship four times total. Brazil will be hosting the following World Cup in 2014.
