BBC News - England set for more World Cup hurt, Whitehall predicts
There is a "high probability" that the England team will not progress to the later stages of this summer's World Cup, a government document says.
The statement comes in a study of the possible impact of keeping pubs open late at night for games during the tournament, taking place in Brazil.
Labour said this indicated "what the government think" of England's chances.
The coalition said its calculations were not an "opinion" but were based on odds on the gambling website Betfair.
I know it is the job of the opposition to hold the government to account, but this is pretty absurd.
The projection is from the civil service, it is not a political statement in any way shape or form.
It is no surprise that the tories have recently overtaken Labour in the polls. Guess it isn't just me that is tired of their opportunism to try and make political capital out of absolutely everything.
