To add an element of fun, I am planning to include odds on this season’s battle. Below is the email I have sent to a number of bookmakers.

Dear [name of bookies], this World Cup I will be keeping a table of goalscorers ranked by their race (white, black and other). As you do not offer odds on this, I was wondering if you could give me a set of unofficial odds on whites outscoring blacks, blacks outscoring whites and both races scoring an equal number of goals.

Kind regards,

Odds will be included on this page once the bookies issue their replies.
