    Why is the price on England drifting so much?

    I've been keeping an eye on the England line for a few days now. It was +100 give or take at most places earlier in the week and has been steadily shifting upwards since. I took it at +125 at Pinny last night thinking it was about as high as it will go. I log on this morning at it's +138!!

    Most places like 365,Hills, Laddies etc are still in the +110-+120 mark with Pinny being much higher. Pinny is a sharp book so the line conspiracy theoriests would think this means Sweden or the Draw is the play?

    The other day before the Poland v Russia game Lakerboy said "The game has been offline at Pinny for ages whilst they figure out who is going to win', I nearly wet myself I laughed so hard.

    I think England are the far superior team and Sweden is in a down period and only has 1 class player. England and Sweden do love to draw now so I may back the draw as well which with my England bet already will work out a bit better than -300 which is better than the double chance odds. I can't see England losing this one.

    Hint:

    England have never beaten Sweden in a competitive encounter drawing five & losing two of those seven matches......
    ## my little advice just by-pass the game since England is in ur mind as favorite ##

    My gut is saying the game will end a draw. 1-1 I think. However I can't overlook England being the much better team. England usually goes into major champs with several world class players, a bit cocky and thinking they can win it. This group seems a bit different, less world class players but younger a more hungry. The fact England have not beaten Sweden in the last 7 competitive matches means nothing for tonight's game. Trends like that don't mean anything in general but when you are talking about international teams with different players and probably over 10+ years it means nothing.

    Close game for England, and as mentioned above, I would not stake big for this game. Still think they will win tonight!

    Very strange. Not only Sweden +.5, but some books give now PK and look at the over/under @2.
    Something tells me not to bet E today. Try small on Sweden PK and France Over 2.5

    I don't think the o/u gives too much away other than that the books think it will be a low scoring affair. I would agree with them, I think the most likely scores in order of most likely to least likely in my mind are..

    1-0 England
    1-1
    2-1 England
    0-0

    No Rooney today.

    England with two strikers today and likely to be more positive.

    I like England to win real small, but I'm biased.

    Line movement in these games is absolutely meaningless.

    Pinnacle is taking 200k max bets on AH for these games. The lines are sharp.
