Just a month to go until the World Cup gets underway in Russia, and although we've extended our own sabbatical from these pesky tournaments we can still look forward to a summer full of top class football on the telly. YAS!
The hosts Russia kick things off on the Thursday 14th June with a game against Saudi Arabia and that is followed on the Friday by Egypt v Uruguay at 1pm which to be fair should be a decent tussle before Morocco take on the mighty Iran (mind them?) at 4pm. Things then heat up nicely with a cracker of a Friday night with Portugal taking on Spain.
The games come thick and fast after that with no fewer than four matches on the Saturday. France v Australia at 11am on a Saturday morning? Yes please!
If you're looking for a punt before the tournament gets underway you can bet on football with Coral, who make Germany & Brazil the joint 9/2 favourites.
Our friends England are priced at 14/1 which means if you put a tenner on them to win, you'll lose a tenner.
Panama and Saudi Arabia are 1000/1 rank outsiders if you fancy someone "doing a Leicester".
