World Cup 2018 Host Odds For England Cut As David Dein Is Made President Of England Bid
Wednesday 24 February 2010 at 11:07
 William Hill have cut the odds of England hosting the 2018 World Cup after David Dein was given the job as President of England's World Cup bid. England had already been favourites to host the World Cup finals but William Hill still found it necessary to shorten their price further.
England Favourites To Host The World Cup In 2018
England can currently be backed at 5/4 (from 6/4) with William Hill to host the World Cup and it seems England are in pole position to do so despite many recent controversies involving the England players. England last won the World Cup on home soil 44 years ago and the hosts have a good record in the competition so hosting the World Cup is definitely England's best chance of winning it. William Hill offer 20/1 that England not only host the 2018 World Cup but also win it. Considering England are 5/4 with William Hill to host the 2018 World Cup the 20/1 on them winning it too looks absolutely massive.
Australia Or Spain And Portugal Likely To Step In If England Miss Out
If England were to miss out on hosting the World Cup, like they did in 2006, it seems most likely it will go to Australia, they are 5/2 with William Hill to make it three southern hemisphere World Cups in a row (after South Africa then Brazil). Europe's next best hope of hosting the 2018 World Cup after England is a joint bid from Spain and Portugal, that looks a realistic option. For more World Cup hosts visit the William Hill website.
