Sportsbook William Hill are quoting England soccer hero David Beckham at odds of 1/4 to win 100 caps for his country following his recent recall to the national side against Brazil.
The superstar, who is nicknamed “Golden Balls”, and is married to Posh Spice, played a stellar role in the 1-1 draw against the South Americans last Friday.
That great performance means Beckham is now a certainty to earn his 96th cap in Wednesday's Euro 2008 match against Estonia. Bodog.com has England at -400 and heavily favored in their game against Estonia.
If you think Beckham's return to the England scene is only for the short term you can back William Hill's price of 11/4 that he WONT make 100 appearances.
Beckham, currently plying his trade in Spain at Real Madrid, makes a high profile move to Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy this summer.
11/4 is also the price with William Hill that England manager Steve McLaren will select the exact starting 11 which played Brazil for the Estonia game.
For Wednesday's crucial Euro 2008 qualifier McLaren's men are 1/4 to take all three points. The draw is priced at 10/3 and Estonia are 10/1 to claim an amazing home win at Le Coq Arena, Tallinn.
Despite sitting in fourth place in Group E the Three Lions are as short as 4/7 to qualify for next summer's finals.
Croatia, Israel and Russia currently sit above them in the table. With six games to go, England must finish in the top two to qualify for the tournament that will be played in Austria and Switzerland next June.
England are 2/1 to maintain their unbeaten record at Wembley throughout 2007.
”England may have experienced a rocky start to their qualification campaign but with home games against Croatia, Israel and Russia at Wembley, we fully expect them to be at the summit of Group E before long,” said a William Hill spokesman.
