Like the heatwave gripping the country, World Cup fever is not far behind – and the Bookmakers have been forced to make them fourth favourites having slashed their odds in the last week.<\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate’s men were just about in the top-ten pre-tournament, but taking maximum points in their opening two games against Panama and Tunisia, and already securing their place in the last 16 – the public are getting behind them.<\/p>\n

England are now just 8\/1, having been double that before a ball was kicked in Russia.<\/p>\n

“Industry wide Bookmakers are suggesting up to a quarter of all bets at the moment are going on England, Gareth Southgate has got his side going but also the country,” said OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n

“Now the Bookmakers only have Spain, Brazil and Belgium ahead of England.<\/p>\n

“England began this tournament at 16\/1 generally, but that has soon come in – and if they beat Belgium in the next game, they will likely be third favourites ahead Roberto Martinez’s side.<\/p>\n

Selected World Cup odds:
\n<\/strong><\/span>Spain 9\/2
\nBrazil 5\/1
\nBelgium 13\/2
\nEngland 7\/1
\nFrance 8\/1
\nCroatia 14\/1
\nPortugal 18\/1
\nArgentina 20\/1
\nCroatia 20\/1
