History of Betting

In the Roman and Greek Times wherever there was a sport competition, there was betting. The famous “bread and games” could therefore also be expressed as “bread and bets”. In some cases, competitions were even created for the sole purpose of giving wealthy gamblers an opportunity to bet.

The English Team for the World Cup

ABIO CAPELLO has finally announced on Tuesday June 1 the 23 players’ names he will take to this summer's World Cup in South Africa.

Seven unlucky stars, who had made the England boss' 30-man provisional squad, were told they were not included today.

Arsenal's Theo Walcott omission from the coach Fabio Capello roster was quite surprised. The 21-year-old Walcott, who has won 11 caps, would have been the youngest member of the party.

He was definitely the most high-profile omission with Darren Bent, Adam Johnson, Leighton Baines, Scott Parker, Tom Huddlestone and Michael Dawson that are also misssing out.

England football fans were surprised by this decision and were wondering why Fabio Capello has not included some best players in the list of England World Cup squad.

Gareth Barry is on the plane despite a troublesome ankle injury, which is likely to rule him out of England's opener against USA on June 12.

England squad left today for South Africa, where FIFA World Cup 2010 is schedule to play from June 11 to July 11. England is in Group C with United States, Algeria and Slovenia. The English team will kick off World Cup 2010 against United States in Rustenburg on June 12.

So here is the list of England's 23-man World Cup squad:

Keepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.

Defenders: Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock.

Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Strikers: Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.
