After Holland’s stunning 5-1 rout of defending champions Spain last night, Paddy Power are rolling out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. With Roy Hodgson’s England set to face Italy in the 11pm kick-off, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 8/1 for the Three Lions to triumph, 7/1 for a draw or 6/1 on Cesare Prandelli’s troops to open their campaign with a victory:

Given that the regular odds are 2/1, 2/1 and 7/4 respectively, this is clearly another great offer from Paddy. Click here to get involved.

Those who already have an account with Paddy can still take advantage of a Money Back Special on offer. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if Italy win – found out more here.

To clarify, the England v Italy enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified. New customers can only opt for one of the three offers.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

    Conclusions from the first half:
    - Both teams are decent - better than Uruguay at least.
    - Welbeck is twice as good as normal in South America.
    - Sturridge has no shame and will dance badly anywhere.
    - Whilst still the worst commentator to have ever lived, Michael Owen has reason to be concerned by upstart Phil Neville's performance.

        ...so far, indeed. I can see here a strategy of pushing hard early on and trying to get the lead to ease up in last half an hour, and that plan is not working. I would not be surprised if Hodgson replaced couple of his attacking players with defensive ones and parked the bus on second half. Say, at about 55-60 minutes, if Italy doesn't score before that.

    Evening...

    Italy fan here

    Isn't it obvious to move Sterling right v Chiellini, Rooney central and Welbeck left??

        Lol

        Seriously though I support Italy done things are glaringly obvious

        Like Italy needing a left back who can cross, not Chiellini

      Chiellini is certainly lacking mobility. He is a big risk for them if he gets caught out against a fast player.

        Exactly, it's obvious, though I hope it doesn't happen

    At least Gary Llewellyn could accurately diagnose his injury straight away and start treatment asap. How the hell does the physio get that injured in a game. SMH.

    Phil Neville is in some kind of TwitterRedux - 70 characters max. So poor I'm longing for Peter 'to be fair' Beardsley.
