bet365 are just 4-9 that David James, Rob Green and Joe Hart all go to South Africa, but the firm are less sure who will start the World Cup opener against the USA.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth “The three chosen for the Egypt game look to be holding the aces when it comes to South Africa, but picking a number one from the trio is proving difficult for us and punters alike.

“Joe Hart’s price has been plummeting week after week, due to his good form – but this also highlights the current question marks against the likes of James and Green.”

Always good news when the bookies are unsure in a particular betting market.
