From Done Bookmakers: IT'S only two weeks today before the start of the World Cup, the world's greatest football competition, and we have had massive interest in the England team.

This week I laid £70,000 on England to win the World Cup, I can tell you that the heart was beating a lot quicker than usual when my trading team informed me of the bet. I have already been asked this week many times if I still would like England to win the World Cup but of course I do.

I'm cheering on England all the way to victory even though it will cost me over a million quid. But how far do you think England will go?

At what stage will England be eliminated. Group stage 7/4, last 16 15/8, quarter finals 5/1, runners up 9/1, winners 10/1.

Although we are all patriotic there are still some very good teams who are also attracting interest, notably Brazil at 7/1 and Spain 9/1 who have been heavily backed with me. The current outright betting for the World Cup is: France 4/1, Argentina 9/2, Italy 11/2, Brazil 7/1, Portugal 8/1, Spain 9/1, England 10/1, Germany 16/1.
