England are having so much luck, they might well win this
Or maybe they've used up all their luck getting this far.
You of all people should know better.
Im not one of those "fck you english" welsh knobheads...but this would kill me. England are so insanely anti football it would be criminal for them to lift the trophy. Southgate is englands Bulut.England are having so much luck, they might well win this
Or maybe they've used up all their luck getting this far.
England have the best team in the tournament and maybe the world on paper. But as with Bulut...there is this manger obsession to force them to play in a way that clearly does not suit them.
They dont perform like they do in the PL because..THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THE TACTICS THEY DO IN THE PL. so like with bulut, its the manager 100% atm and its very hard to blame players for struggling to play a shit dinosaur tactic.
France are the same. Cmon Holland vs Spain final.
I don't think its a case of them not being that good, just other teams being under estimated as their players are less familiar to British football fans
I think a few of the England players are a touch overrated, especially by the press, but that's true of all teams and their national media
Holland won the last two knockout games scoring five in 90 minutes.
England drew both their games teams scoring two goals.
They needed extra time twice and penalties once, all those extra minutes will take their toll and they will be leggy and burnt out, Holland should win comfortably, as the games come quick and fast.
Spain- Holland Final, Spain deserves to win as the best team, the Germans wee the second best but unlucky with the draw.

Add maths to his list of struggles
Such a sycophant, oh the gunman's spoken I must back him upAdd maths to his list of struggles
Wheres Eric, please have me in the lefty gang
Actually, both had a few mins extra so over 180 mins
Glad to help!
Therefore, you were even more inaccurate in your original claim than I gave you credit for. Excellent.
I have to say Im 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.
Never predictable, I thought the Swiss would probably beat them. England are strong favorites so should win according to the bookies, who are rarely wrong, because of the extra time they could be wrong on this one, but I couldn't care either way.
If you're talking about Wednesday's game, England are indeed favourites, but not strong favourites.
Paddy Power England 6/4 Holland 21/10, they have them as strong favourites, and all the rest are similar.
You think 6/4 in a three-horse race equates to a strong favourite? If so, I guess you're not a betting man.
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.
No of course not that's for idiots, subjective, favourites anyway
Who are you betting on?
The gift
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.
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.
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.
