Patriotic punt on Israel

The layers go 4.50 (7/2) about an English based player grabbing a goal for the hosts.

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: “The amount wagered on the game is comparable to what we’d expect to see staked on a match involving England or Scotland. The Three Lions’ fate hangs in the balance and punters across the country have been queuing up to get behind Israel. It’s the first time we’ve seen a patriotic plunge on Israel. -English fans sense a miracle in the Holy Land.”

Steve McClaren’s men are 2.75 (7/4) to make it to the finals next year.

Martin O’Neill has been backed into 3.00 (2/1), from 3.50 (5/2), to take over from the beleaguered boss.
