Coleen Rooney tipped as 'hot favourite' to attend 2014 World Cup despite FA ban

Irish bookmakers Paddy Power have reportedly tipped the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Kyle Walker as hot favourites to travel to Brazil this summer for the FIFA World Cup.

England manager Roy Hodgson and the Football Association (FA) are reportedly refusing to pay for the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the England footballers to attend the team's warm-up matches for the 2014 World Cup in the US.

However, the Mirror reports that Coleen, Jourdan Dunn and Annie Kilner are favourites to attend the tournament, with Paddy Power putting the odds on at 1/20 for the ever-supportive Coleen while model Dunn, who is allegedly dating Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge, priced at 1/10.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard's fiancee Christine Bleakley is at 2/1, while Alex Gerrard looks less likely to make the trip at 5/1 as her husband Stephen did not invite her to South Africa for the last World Cup 201, the report also said.

Least likely to make the trip is Scott Parker's wife Carly at 40/1 and Peter Crouch's wife Abbey Clancy at 25/1, the report added.
