France were 12/1 before the 2006 WC , 25/1 when they made the last 16 as they struggled to qualify and had to beat Spain + Brazil just to make the semis.
Scrape through in the Group, and if they are playing on on form Germany , England will be double figures , if Spain and Brazil have gone through in style too, they could easily be 14/1.
On the other hand if Brazil go out , England cruise through , and have an easy looking tie , they would be 2nd favs probably about 4/1.
If the only thing you're sure of is that they will walk the group you may as well just back them to do that.
They could be any price at all. France were 12/1 before the 2006 WC , 25/1 when they made the last 16 as they struggled to qualify and had to beat Spain + Brazil just to make the semis.Scrape through in the Group, and if they are playing on on form
Doesn't work like that in these tournaments , brngtwt
How teams are playing , and the way the draw pans out , is very important .Italy in Euro 2008 are another example of being a much bigger price after the group stage than before.
The fact is England qualifying easily from the group is already factored into the outright price . If they got 7pts , a couple of 2-0 wins , then that is all they are expected to do , so the price would be the same (unless a fav had gone out in one of the other groups).
If there are no shock exits in the Group Stage then the only teams who will come down a lot in price will be those who have got out of difficult groups , or those who have been putting 4 or 5 goals past their opponents.
