World Cup 2018 host

The odds of England hosting the 2018 World cup after David Dein was given the job as President of England’s World Cup bid have been cut by William Hill. England has been the favourite to host the World Cup finals, but William Hill has shortened the price further.

England can currently be backed at 5/4 (from 6/4) with William Hill to host the World Cup and it seems England are in pole position to do so, despite many recent controversies involving the England players. It has been 44 years since England won the World Cup and the hosts have a good record in the competition so hosting the World Cup is definitely England’s best chance of winning it. William Hills offer 20/1 that England not only host the 2018 World Cup but also win it. Considering England are 5/4 with William Hill to host the 2018 World Cup the 20/1 on them winning it too looks absolutely massive.

If England were to miss out on hosting the World Cup, it is likely it will go to Australia as they are 5/2 with William Hill to make it three southern hemisphere World Cuups in a row, after South Africa and Brazil. The next best hope for Europe hosting the 2018 World Cup would be a joint bid from Spain and Portugal.
