LATEST BETTING PREDICTIONS FOR JUNE 24

All is well again on English shores as England saw off the attentions of Slovenia to make it into the last 16 of the World Cup yesterday. In typically English fashion the country is once again buoyant and harbouring delusions of grandeur as the national team have gone from public embarrassments to certain World Cup winners in the space of a few days. 

The papers have reverted to their Fabio Capello love in after it was revealed that he invited his players to relax with a beer on the night before their do-or-die final group game. But a last-16 tie against Germany potentially followed by a quarter-final game against Argentina means England really need to step up their game if they are to go all the way. After being available to back at no better than 6/1 pre-tournament, Sportingbet now offers a best price of 11/1 on England winning the World Cup. 
According to tabloid newspaper The Sun, Manchester City have been given permission to talk to Valencia striker David Silva regarding a proposed £30million move to Eastlands. However, the Daily Mail believe that the 24-year-old Spaniard would prefer a move to Chelsea and the Premier League champions could hijack the move. 
Skybet offer odds of 8/11 that Silva will make Easltands his home from next season, whilst Chelsea are a 7/2 shot to secure his signature and it’s 2/1 that he joins Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid. 
Away from the sporting world Glastonbury gets underway today with a handful of bands kicking off proceedings in the latter part of the day. The four-day festival is renowned for its rainy weather and notorious mud baths but forecasters are predicting an uncharacteristically dry weekend for festival goers. 
Nevertheless, Paddy Power refuse to underestimate the fallibility of a British summer and are offering odds of 1/2 that rain will be recorded at some point over the weekend, whilst it is 6/4 to be for a completely dry three days and 12/1 that a thunderstorm prematurely ends the festival.
