While Wayne Rooney may as well be absent from the entire England squad, Jermain Defoe stepped up to the plate – much to English fans’ delight – and rocketed the Three Lions into the Round of 16 with his 23^rd minute winner.

As such, online bookmakers have increased England’s chances of winning the World Cup from a wayward 10/1 to 15/2. Paddy Power believes England will have no trouble taking down their next opponents, three-time world champions Germany, but they are still well behind favourites Brazil, Argentina, and Spain.

“England are back in the game!” Paddy Power said. “Now we’re bracing ourselves for a colossal wave of patriotic punts as the country dares to believe again.”

That may be so, but it’ll take more than some unimpressive attacking displays to beat the likes of Brazil, Argentina, and Spain in the next rounds. Paddy Power has released revised odds on who will take out the World Cup, as well as how likely it is that England will be knocked out on penalties.

To Win World Cup

Brazil: 4/1
Argentina: 9/2
Spain: 5/1
England: 15/2
Holland: 8/1
Germany: 10/1
Portugal: 20/1
Italy: 22/1
Uruguay: 22/1
Bar: 33/1

England to be knocked out on penalties

Yes: 9/2

Number-one seed Roger Federer had to battle from two sets down against Alejandro Falla in the opening round of The Championships. The 26-year-old Colombian took his chances against the six-time Wimbledon champion, but Federer’s experience shone through in what was an unexpected day one thriller.

Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko also had problems against their unranked opponents, forcing both matches into lengthy five-setters. Such results bode well for the unknown players at Wimbledon, as the end of a tennis era edges ever closer.

In the Ladies’ draw, it was surprisingly similar. 2010 French Open winner Francesca Schiavone went down to relative unknown Vera Dushevina in three sets, while 2009 US Open semi-finalist Yanina Wickmayer was given a scare by young Alison Riske.

Bet365 has all the odds on the next two weeks of tennis action, including money line bets, outrights, and specials. Here are a couple of the best match-ups on offer for Tuesday, June 22:

Andy Murray: 1/100
Jan Hajek: 14/1

Andy Murray vs. Jan Hajek: Andy Murray is the hope of all British tennis fans. Not since the 1930s heroics of Fred Perry has a man from Great Britain lifted the Wimbledon trophy. Murray has had a fantastic season on court so far, finishing runner-up in the Australian Open before bailing out of the French Open in the fourth round. Still, his record at Wimbledon is getting better with each year, building up to last year’s semi-final appearance. By all accounts, this should be Murray’s best shot at Wimbledon, and a big win over the unknown Jan Hajek would be the perfect start to his tournament.

Most wouldn’t have heard of Jan Hajek, but his form in 2010 has been surprisingly good. Qualifying for Wimbledon may not have been as easy for him as it was for Murray, but already Hajek has a Challengers Czech Open title to his name after seeing off Radek Stepanek in the final. The Czech hasn’t played in The Championships since 2007, where he lost in the first round to Juan Carlos Ferrero – this result really should be elementary.

Sam Stosur: 4/11
Kaia Kanepi: 2/1

Sam Stosur vs. Kaia Kanepi: After failing to perform in the final of the French Open this year, Australia’s Samantha Stosur has to step up if she wants to continue her sterling run of form. Her opponent in Roland Garros has already been eliminated from this tournament, showing yet again how seeding doesn’t always have an effect on the outcome of matches. Stosur doesn’t have an excellent record at Wimbledon, having only reached the third round for the first time last year. This match should be fairly easy for the stocky Australian, but with the sort of results that have already been flying out of this tournament, it could very well be an upset waiting to happen.

25-year-old Estonian Kaia Kanepi may not be a face you immediately recognise on the professional circuit, but she has been around the Majors for quite some time, even reaching the French Open quarterfinals in 2008. Her success at Wimbledon has not been quite as fruitful, having only once progressed past the first round of the tournament since 2006. Still, after impressing with wins on the ITF Circuit in May, and winning her way back into the top 100, Kaia Kanepi is not a player to be taken lightly.

Rafael Nadal: 1/100
Kei Nishikori: 14/1

Serena Williams: 1/100
Michelle Larcher de Brito: 14/1

All of the aforementioned games are available for live streaming through Bet365’s Live In-Play system. If you aren’t a member of Bet365 yet, you can join today and pick up a 100% Bonus of up to $100.

Who would have predicted that Spain, Germany, and England would all be upset by lower ranked nations in the opening fixtures? Perhaps the biggest shock of all was last night’s 1-1 draw between reigning World Cup champions Italy and no-hopers New Zealand.

For the online betting community, these unexpected results offer plenty in the way of lucrative payout opportunities, and you can be assured there will be many more by the time the tournament comes to an end. Bodog has odds on all the action for Day 11 at the World Cup, including the must-win game between Spain and Honduras.

Portugal: 1/3
Draw: 7/2
Korea DPR: 9/1

Portugal vs. Korea DPR: Portugal have incredibly good odds to win this match, especially considering their lacklustre showing against the Ivory Coast last week. Cristiano Ronaldo, while the centrepiece of the Portuguese squad, hasn’t produced the same sort of football for his country as he has for Real Madrid, leading one to question where the goals – if any – are going to come from. Their 0-0 draw with the Ivory Coast has made this fixture a must-win for Portugal; anything less could spell the end of their World Cup dream, as they face Brazil in their last group match.

North Korea have been something of shock in South Africa this year. Despite losing to Brazil in their opener, the sort of attacking football they displayed hearkened back to their 1966 World Cup team that reached the quarterfinals. Their chances of taking a point in this match are not as dire as the odds would suggest, and 7/2 for a draw has the possibility of big money in what is likely to be a low-scoring affair.

Spain: 1/10
Draw: 8/1
Honduras: 18/1

Spain vs. Honduras: The first real upset of the World Cup involved a certain Spanish squad that is expected to win the entire tournament. After going a goal goal, some exceptional Swiss defence condemned the Euro champions to their first international loss since June 2009. Honduras present an entirely different opponent, an one they have only faced once before – a match which ended in a 1-1 draw. The smart odds are on Spain to win big, and, with so much riding on their need for a victory, it’s hard to argue.

Honduras rode their luck throughout the entire CONCACAF qualification period, only just scraping into the World Cup thanks to a superior goal difference to Costa Rica. A loss in their opening fixture against Chile has all but destroyed their hopes of a second round berth, but an upset against the European giants could very well reignite their tournament. While unlikely that they will get anything from this match, you only have to look back at results from the past couple of days to realise that anything can happen in this game.

Chile: 6/5
Draw: 21/10
Switzerland: 23/10

Bookies are still very worried that England might win the World Cup. If the Three Lions manage to pull off such a feat, online bookmakers are staring down the barrel of current payout odds of 8/1 – drifting from 6/1 ten days ago. While the majority of punters are tipping Argentina or the Netherlands to make an unlikely run to the World Cup final, there are still plenty of England faithfuls looking for a massive payout come the end of the tournament.

“Unusually England are yet to be the most popular team in terms of number of bets, suggesting some punters are weary of getting their fingers burnt yet again by a heart-breaking Three Lions failure,” Paddy Power spokesperson Darren Haines said. “It may also be a case that a more betting savvy nation is increasingly gambling with its head than its heart, but even though they may not be the most backed team, bookies still fear the potential payout on an England victory more than any other team.”

Here are a few of the latest bets that you can enjoy at Paddy Power, but be sure to head over to the online bookie for the complete list of standard and novelty World Cup bets.

England vs. USA – First phrase to be used by ITV commentators during the game

David Beckham: 15/8

How many England players will sing the national anthem vs. USA?

Despite being the host nation, South Africa aren’t even expected to get out of their group, let alone contest the knockout stages. As it stands, Bafana Bafana are sitting on odds of 7/4 to qualify for the Round of 16, but odds of 7/5 to finish bottom of their group.

Those football crazy folks at Paddy Power have even created a few humorous bets that are certain to entice any history buffs. Bore Wars and Desmond Tutu draws will be running throughout the tournament, but, hopeful of an exciting World Cup, odds for four or more Desmonds are sitting at just 8/11.

“FIFA and South Africa are understandably painting the whole tournament with a strong African flavour which should firmly stamp its identity and charm as a 2010 memory,” said Paddy Power spokesman Darren Haines. “What makes a World Cup most memorable though is the football itself and thankfully we are expecting to see more Desmonds in South Africa than we are for the number of Bore Wars.”

Another on-field outburst from England talisman Wayne Rooney has also allowed for some specials to be created:

Rooney Red Mist Specials

Rooney to be booked for dissent vs. USA: 16/1
Rooney to be sent off vs. USA: 28/1
Rooney to be sent off at World Cup: 5/1

There are plenty of new bets at Paddy Power to check out, including a number of interesting off-field wagers for the World Cup. To take advantage of these unique bets, you can sign up to Paddy Power today and enjoy a wide variety of World Cup extras during the month-long tournament.

Bodog has odds on all four matches, including standard Money Line bets and Outrights on who will claim the French Open championship in both the Men’s and Women’s competitions. Let’s preview two of the best semi-final matchups, and be sure to check back at Bodog for all the weekend finals action.

Robin Soderling: 4/9
Tomas Berdych: 7/4

The biggest upset of the tournament so far – comparable to Serena Williams’ defeat to Sam Stosur – belongs to Robin Soderling. The man known as being the only player to ever beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open just one-upped himself with a quarterfinal victory over Roger Federer. The win ended Federer’s six-year run of reaching at least the semi-finals at every single Major. And while Soderling has yet to win a championship, his appearance at the French Open final last year should have Rafael Nadal shaking in his boots should the two meet this weekend.

Tomas Berdych has been in remarkable form this past few days. Winning every single match in straight sets is no easy task, especially when some of your opponents include Andy Murray, John Isner, and Mikhail Youzhny. If his flawless tournament continues against Robin Soderling, you wouldn’t doubt him to take home the championship, even against the like of Rafael Nadal. Majors can be strange competitions, as we have already seen, so I wouldn’t write off Berdych’s chances just yet.

Samantha Stosur: 8/13
Jelena Jankovic: 5/4

Australia’s Sam Stosur has had arguably the toughest run to the semi-finals out of all four women. Three of her five matches have gone to the maximum three sets, but perhaps most incredible is the fact that she defeated former world number one and four-time French Open winner Justine Henin in Round Four, before following it up with victory over current world number one Serena Williams. Stosur has only reached a Grand Slam semi-final once before, at the 2009 French Open, but the seventh seed is surprisingly favourite to progress to the final over her fourth seed opponent.

Jelena Jankovich has been here twice before, and both times she has failed to reach the final. After what could be described as an easy run to the semis – in comparison to other competitors – Jankovich will have the benefit of only playing one match to three sets. Fitness could play a factor this deep into the tournament, and the experience of the Serb is undoubtable. However, the bookies have her tipped as an outside chance to win, so it’s a very tough call.

Jurgen Melzer: 11/1
Rafael Nadal: 1/33

Francesca Schiavone: 10/11
Elena Dementieva: 10/11

Follow Bodog throughout the remainder of the French Open at their in-depth online bookmaker, and be sure to back your favourite player all the way to the title.

The English side have dropped from 6/1 to 7/1 in World Cup Outrights, and now sit on level odds with Argentina behind Spain and Brazil. While they didn’t play well against Japan, fans can at least take comfort in knowing that the final squad is still yet to be decided. That will be Fabio Capello’s job on Tuesday, and several key players are expected to face the axe.

Joe Cole is one such England player that could be watching the World Cup from home, but Paddy Power still think he’s more likely to be selected than Michael Carrick or Emile Heskey. “If Fabio’s listening to the fans, he’ll have booked Joe Cole’s seat on the plane,” Paddy Power said. “They’ve backed him this morning as if missing the World Cup is out of the question. Even an inspired Joe Cole may not be enough for England if yesterday is anything to go by – but I’m sure the 7/1 will be popular.”

To Make World Cup Squad

Joe Cole: 1/5
Gareth Barry: 1/4
Emile Heskey: 3/10
Michael Dawson: 11/8
Darren Bent: 2/1
Shaun Wright-Phillips: 9/2

Wayne Rooney has been in fine form for his club this season, but hasn’t exactly been pumping out the goals in recent Friendlies. Still, he’s sitting on great odds to land three or more goals in South Africa, and ranked third behind Lionel Messi and David Villa to claim the Golden Boot.

Rooney’s World Cup Goals

None: 8/1
One: 9/2
Two: 7/2
Three or more: 8/13

England World Cup Goals

Nine or less: 5/6
Ten or more: 5/6

Paddy Power also has a nifty Money-Back Special on the opener between England and the USA. If Wayne Rooney scores at any time, the online bookmaker will refund all of the following wagers: First/Last Goalscorer, Correct Score, and Scorecast Singles.
