Not so bad after all. The English leagues 1 and 2 are trading okay.

Another impressive scalp for Colombia last night with a 1-0 win over Spain in London. The goal's worth a look.

There's some terrible football being played at Anfield this afternoon if anyone's interested

Ajax started strong but look exhausted after 10 minutes :lol:

Indeed. Henderson, Saka and Palmer also unavailable.

England was at the then top of its traded range yesterday afternoon. I was ready to back at 2.08 in the expectation of a shortening price with punters doing their patriotic duty in the run up to kick-off. Sky Sports News announced Kane's absence just as I was putting my orders in. I cancelled them.

I'm not involved in the market now, although I am curious to see if the price will drift further when the team line-ups are announced.

EDIT: 1753 on the evening of the game and the price has come in to 2.04!

Still fairly strong. Thought may have seen more debuts.

More debuts = more risk. Imagine if Gareth blooded somw youngsters and England get hammered. The media would have a field day. I like Gareth, not enough attack but I'm not sure who might be better. Is there an attack-minded, media friendly English manager out there? I think we've done the foreign manager thing and (much to my disappointment) it never worked.

Anyone know why England players are wearing black armbands?

Thanks. No wonder I couldn't think of any recent deaths or palatable tragedies.

Under 0.5 looks good to me at 6.4.

Not with 'Liability Maguire' still on the pitch.

I think Betfair may have tweaked their penny-pinching scumbag algorithm. I made about 15p on each of two markets where I was expecting to break even!

Brazil's price was quite generous with hindsight.
