John Terry is 5/4 not to make the England squad

Euro 2012 BettingJohn Terry is 5/4 not to make the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2012 competition following his comments that he will not retire for the international scene. The Chelsea defender was recently stripped of his captaincy following allegations that he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand and with only a matter of days between the end of the Euro 2012 competition and his trail, Terry’s England days could be numbered.

The former England captain, who has won 72 caps for England, has had the backing of the national manager Fabio Capello though with the Italian going down on record saying that he absolutely disagrees with the decision from the FA to strip Terry of the armband. The outcry by Capello has seen bookmakers open a book on whether the Italian will still be in charge when the European Championships gets underway in June? It’s 1/4 with Stan James for Capello to still be at the helm come the start of the competition at 11/4 he’s not.  

Stan James spokesman Rory Jiwani said: "This could all be a storm in a teacup and it might blow over pretty quickly. That said, a seed of doubt has been sown and it's not out of the question that this issue of John Terry's captaincy deteriorates and Capello walks."

With uncertainties on who will take over the role of England captain Bet365 are offering odds on who will lead England out against France on June 11th and make the Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard their 8/13 favourite. It’s 9/2 for Tottenham’s Scott Parker to lead England out against France and 5/1 for goalkeeper Joe Hart. Gareth Barry, who is not a certainty to start, is 8/1 whilst Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are 12 and 25/1 respectively.

In the Euro 2012 betting, England are top price 10/1 (Stan James) to claim their first ever European Championship title. It’s 9/5 with Boylesports for England to go on and top Group D (2/1 France, 5/1 Ukraine and 7/1 Sweden) and 8/1 (Stan James) that England win all three of their group matches (6/5 England to win one, 13/8 two and 4/1 none).
