Three Lions lose your shirt

Is World Cup fever finally starting?

I hear that publicly-listed Ladbrokes has just taken a £100k punt on Spain at 4/1 from an international customer, while the worrying (for the bookies) absence of bets on England seems to be alleviating. A few mug punters are now starting to back the Three Lions, making an England win the second worst result for the layers. The worst result? An Argentina victory - in more ways than one.
