The summer of 2012 will be one to remember for sport. The summer months will feature the World Cup in South Africa and the London Olympics. English sports fans will be excited about both as long as England qualify for the World Cup. They begin their campaign next month against Andorra and manager Fabio Cappello will be determined to uphold his reputation as a first class manager.

Several side will have the chance of winning the tournament, but with four years still to go, who are the bookies favourites? Heres a quick look at the betting favourites at this early stage:

Like every major international football tournament, the two south American sides are favourites. Brazil have won footballs most prized possession 5 times. Brazil are currently at a very decent 5/1 to lift the cup for the 6th time. Fellow South American side Argentina always play stunning football and are currently producing some of the worlds best young players. They are 7/1 with bet 24 to win in South Africa. Euro 2008 champs Spain are now 8/1to repeat the success of this summer and with players like Fernado Torres they will certainly be a major threat.

England, under new coach Cappello are 12/1 to win the cup for the first time since 1966. You may think its too early to bet on an event so far away. But with everyday the tournament draws closer the odds will get shorter for the favourites.
