Paddy Power have promised to refund losing bets on England’s opening World Cup game against the USA if the Three Lions’ main man Wayne Rooney scores at ANY time of the match.

Having had a storming season at Manchester United with 26 league goals and a Player of the Year Award double, Rooney is unquestionably England’s biggest weapon in their hopes for a first World Cup since 1966. Certainly with 9 goals in his last 12 England games Rooney also appears to be England coach Fabio Capello’s Plan A in their quest for glory.

The offer applies to losing correct score, first/last scorer, and scorecast single bets.

Paddy Power said: “A goal from Wayne in England’s first match will have the whole country celebrating and such has been his form for club and country this season I think it could be a case of Money-Back when rather than if Rooney scores!”

Terms & Conditions: Applies to 1st/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles placed before kick-off only. Max Refund €/£100 per customer/bet. Paddy Power football rules apply.

With the Premier League finally finished, our attention switches to the pride of English football, the FA Cup. For those of you who’ve had their heads lodged firmly in the sand, this year’s showpiece will be contested by Chelsea and the recently relegated Portsmouth. Needless to say Chelsea are firm favourites, 1/6 with William Hill, with Portsmouth being offered at an incredible 12/1.

Chelsea are being offered at odds of 16/5 to win by 4 or more goals. Quite short odds considering that the largest winning margin in modern times in the FA Cup final was 4 goals. Ironically it was Chelsea on the receiving end that day.

With so many markets available for the final, we’ve decided to highlight a few of the choicest bets. Enjoy!
