England World Cup Host 2018 Odds Drift After Lord Triesman Fiasco
Monday 17 May 2010 at 14:19
 The odds on England hosting the World Cup 2018 have drifted after a terrible weekend for England's chances of being the host for the 2018 World Cup. Just as England's bid looked back on track with William Hill offering an odds on price for England have the successful bid things went horribly wrong.
Lord Triesman Throws England Bid Into Disarray
Lord Triesman has resigned from the FA after he was caught up in a newspaper sting that saw him question the integrity of both the Spanish and Russian FA. It may be too late already though, all the bookies offering World Cup 2018 Host Nation Odds have pushed out the price on England but they still remain favourites, perhaps only due to some patriotic hope though. The best price England can be backed at to host the 2018 World Cup is 7/4 with Paddy Power and the bid team will be hoping that the draw of David Beckham is enough to secure a winning bid, we still have just over six months to go to find out with a decision coming about the World Cup 2018 host on December 2nd.
Russia Could Now Be In The Driving Seat To Host The 2018 World Cup
Russia are now clear second favourites and not far behind England now, they can currently be backed at just 11/4 with Paddy Power. The accusation that Lord Triesman apparently levelled towards the Russians could end up leading to sympathy towards them, more so than Spain who have a joint bid with Portugal and are now 5/1 with Betfred to be given the 2018 World Cup. The bookies certainly disagree about Australia's chances of hosting the World Cup 2018, Paddy Power offer just 3/1 about their bid whilst William Hill go 10/1 currently.
