World Cup: Aussies backed already at 250/1

One punter has wasted no time in supporting Australia following their qualification for the World Cup. Bookmakers totesport reported a £1000 bet on the Socceroo's at 250/1, twenty minutes after the match.

Totesport spokesperson Paul Petrie commented, "I am assuming he had too many cans of Castlemaine XXXX whilst watching the match because I can't see his thinking behind this gamble."

Meanwhile the firm has installed Mark Viduka at 80/1 to win the Golden Boot.
