ENGLAND v Argentina in a friendly match? …If you say so!!
With the recent history between the two countries both on and off the pitch, the chances of this Saturday's clash in Geneva being a typical Sven friendly are virtually nil. Sven has promised to field his strongest side as England have four friendlies left to build momentum going into the World Cup finals in Germany next June.
Bet 24.com have just posted over 100 odds on the match.
In 1986 it was Maradona. Whilet there is no Maradona on the pitch this time, there's still the chance to put a fun bet on. £1 on an Argentinian repeating the 'hand of god' and scoring with their hands would return £75.
In 1998, Simeone instigated the Beckham Red card incident. £10 on a red card being shown again would win £60 back. £10 on it being an England player would return £120 and £10 on it being Beckham or Rooney would earn £250.
In 2002, Beckham reaped revenge with the penalty that sealed a 1-0 win and saw Argentina knocked out of the competition in the first round. The England penalty taker has now changed to Frank Lampard, but if you think there might be a repeat, Lampard scoring from the spot would return £100 for £10 bet and Lampard scoring first in an England 1-0 win would return £450.
