Betting is underway ahead of the 2014 in Brazil in four years time, but bookmaker Stan James already believes England will fail to go all the way in South America

Stan James, who are offering a £25 free bet to new customers opening an account using bonus code MAXIMUMBONUS, make the Three Lions a 20/1 chance.

Hosts Brazil are 3/1 favourites.

Stan James' head of PR Charlie McCann said: "No European nation has ever won the Trophy on South American soil and if that trend is to be bucked in Brazil it is unlikely to be by England certainly not under the present regime.

"The current so called Golden Generation are sure to be past their sell-by-date, if they are not already, in 2014 and it looks as if England's main hope of World Cup glory in the short term lies with David Beckham, Sebastian Coe and FA Chairman Geoff Thompson who are masterminding our bid to host the 2018 Finals."
