According to William Woodhams, CEO of Fitzdares, one of the oldest bookmakers in the world, a small portion of England will fly the French tricolour on Sunday.
Leading bookmakers have told AFP they are hoping Kylian Mbappe and France win the World Cup final on Sunday over Lionel Messi and Argentina. Overall, the quadrennial championship of football has been a gold mine for bookmakers, partly since England and Brazil left very early. However, the 35-year-old Messi’s brilliant performances, leading his squad in what may be his final opportunity to win the title, have alarmed some bookmakers. According to William Woodhams, CEO of Fitzdares, one of the oldest bookmakers in the world, a small portion of England will fly the French tricolour on Sunday.
He declared, “We are dreading a Messi goal and an Argentina victory.”
“For France to win, Mbappe must score more goals than Messi. On Sunday, we’ll all dress in French.”
Despite the fact that Mbappe and Messi both approach the final tied for the most goals scored with five each, Woodhams claimed that Messi has overtaken Mbappe as the favourite among bettors.
Two goals against Poland in the Round of 16 encounter
Since his two goals against Poland in the Round of 16 encounter, Mbappe has not scored.
When speaking to the award for the World Cup’s top scorer, Woodhams commented, “All the money has been on Messi as the Golden Boot winner.”
“Prior to the competition, the smart money was on Mbappe, but people have started to get interested in Messi after seeing a chance.
“It will cost us £500,000 ($608,000) if he wins the Golden Boot.”
