EUROS FINAL. FT: ENGLAND 1 - 2 SPAIN

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

England are 8/11 to win the tie not 6/4.

So just a shade of odds on. Clearly not strong favs in a 2 team contest.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

You think 6/4 in a three-horse race equates to a strong favourite? If so, I guess you're not a betting man.

No of course not that's for idiots, subjective, favourites anyway

Who are you betting on?

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Therefore, you were even more inaccurate in your original claim than I gave you credit for. Excellent.

I have to say I’m greatly amused by the way in which you regularly attempt to make the outcome of football matches sound so simple. You did it throughout last season and with very little success as I recall.

Keep up the good work.

Sounds better than NCB anyway.

Spain have moved to favourites to win the tournament. No much between Spain, England and France.
8/11 for England to qualify for the final is decent value in my opinion. The 6/4 being quoted is 90 minutes, very dodgy bet at this stage of proceedings.
If Southgate manages to win it and he could well do he should be tried for crimes against football.
Most people supporting England will forgive him .
As we would do should that honour fall on one of our countries .
Scotland were lucky enough to be dreadful and lose.... Lose ,lose.....

Our fans forgave Bulut for his mind numbing tactics and he got us to 12th place. Footballs a funny game.

It could be argued that the vast majority of top level English players perform best under foreign managers.
The national side has usually been associated with predictability coupled with a lack of flair, creativity and urgency.

Unless those foreign managers are managing England.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Got a terrible feeling it's going to be a Bulutball final as England and France face off with the attitude that winning is the only important thing despite them having, arguably, the two best sets of attacking talent in the tournament.

It's absurd that England supporters have only had a great set of penalties in a shoot out to get really excited about in five games (six if you count their nightmare against Iceland in the last warm up game) - football's heading for problems if England or France win this tournament.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

The turnaround from throwing cups at his head and booing him to the inevitable canonization of St. Gareth if he does manage to win it will be quite something to see.

I agree in general though, I really hope it's a Spain - Netherlands final but given how this knockout stage has been, will be two 0-0's and England and France through on pens. We may not see another goal scored in open play. Was an interesting article in the Athletic yesterday on this topic - arguably this year with the Euros and the Copa there's never been such a terrible advert for attacking football in major international tournaments. And it started so well in the first 2 rounds of group games too.

I am hoping Spain can at least overcome France. The dread has already set in and ive already accepted England will make it, by hook or crook.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

France aren't a great watch, but if you look at their stats they've been creating more chances than many other sides in the competition.
Hoping Spain win tonight though. I like the way they play with Williams and Yamal.
