LONDON, July 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --
- Survey Finds Rooney Still Remains England Favourite
Despite his catastrophic performance for England throughout the World Cup, which saw the squad be knocked out by rivals Germany 4-1, striker Wayne Rooney has still managed to come out on top in a survey commissioned by InterCasino, (http://www.intercasino.co.uk/) the world's first online Casino.
To coincide with its World Cup Sportsbook promotion, (http://www.intercasino.co.uk/promotions/world-cup/league-of-champions.shtml) InterCasino quizzed the nation on their favourite England players. Claiming a massive third of the vote (37%), Rooney can take some comfort knowing that despite not scoring one single goal during the World Cup, he still scores highly with the general public.
The public is not quite so willing to forgive behaviour off the pitch however, with John Terry receiving a dismal 2% of the vote. Frank Lampard, fared slightly better with one in ten citing him as their favourite player - a result that he should be prouder of than his skills on the pitch.
When it came to WAGs it seems Coleen's husband's poor performance didn't dent her popularity, with more than one in three (37%) of those questioned choosing her as their favourite. The second choice was Abi Clancy with one in five opting for her. This was still enough to beat boyfriend Peter Crouch who only received 13% of the vote in the players' poll. Newcomer and TV favourite, Christine Bleakley still has some work to do to win the hearts of the nation, coming third with just 18% of the vote.
The World Cup Sportsbook promotion includes a range of casino games at InterCasino - slot, table games, blackjack, poker and roulette. Each GBP1,000 wagered will gives players a free "bet" that can be used on any of the match outcomes at this year's world cup.
