Croatia again

England have drifted out to a best price of 15.00 (14/1) with Bet Direct and Better Bet to lift the 2010 World Cup after being drawn in the same group as Croatia again. Bet Asia takes a closer look at the draw for the 2010 World Cup and how the betting markets have reacted.

According to Ladbrokes, the Three Lions are 1.40 (2/5) from 1.25 (1/4) to qualify for the tournament in South Africa and 2.75 (7/4) from 3.75 (11/4) to miss out.

Skybet make them 2.20 (6/5) to finish top of Group 6 despite losing home and away to Slaven Billic's side, with Croatia priced at 2.75 (7/4) and Ukraine at a massive 11.00 (10/1) with CentreBet.
