Betting and Fans Disagree
Whilst bookmakers smashed Gareth Southgate's chance of gaining a knighthood to just 6/4 after the World Cup 2018, they have seen an avalanche of support for the outcome since the final appearance in Euro2020 this summer and his odds to gain a knighthood in the new years honours list have more than halved again to odds on 1/2
| Event | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| After World Cup 2018 | 6/4 | 40% |
| After Euro 2020 | 1/2 | 66% |
Whilst the bookmakers have set the odds to give the outcome a 66% chance in probability terms when we polled England fans on Twitter, they had a polar view on the prospect, voting in huge numbers that the England manager would not become a Sir

World Cup Qualification is Around The Corner
England embarks on three qualification mates this week in Group I where they have already won all three played games, scoring a maximum of 9 points scoring 8 goals and conceding just once already.
The odds on the run continuing with England winning all three games are just under 2/1 as they face Hungary, Andorra and Poland
| Date | Opponent | Home/Away |
|---|---|---|
| 2nd September (Thursday) | Hungary | Away |
| 5th September (Sunday) | Andorra | Home |
| 8th September (Wednesday) | Poland | Away |
We won't assume how these three games will go with tricky trips to unbeaten Hungary and Poland, but another three wins would secure safe passage to the finals in Qatar next year.
Step by Step
Under Southgate, England have improved progress in the last three major championships, with Euro 2016 Quarter Finals, World Cup 2018 Semi Final and the ill fated final appearance at Welmbley at Euro2020.
Could they take another step forward and win the World Cup in Qatar?
Bookmakers make them third favourites behind Brazil and France to do so
