If you go to Italy you will see they are favourites. Go to Belgium and they will be favourites. Go to Spain etc etc.
Our bookmakers will take more bets on England, meaning they will be favourites here. Same for the other big countries in their own countries.
It means nowt really.
Ignoring bookies odds, we are definitely favourites in our side of the draw to get to the final.
Then if we do, it's a one off home game to try win it.

Interesting - not one side from the so called 'Group of Death' made it this far. All that chuffin' moaning about drawing each other too.
The Froggies had it sown up v The Holey Cheeses, but as said elsewhere, playing for 15 minutes won't get you anywhere in this competition.

This is true but it doesn't make you favourite just because 6 million Brits have bet a fiver each and 2 thousand (pick any 4 from the other side of the draw) have bet similar - when every team that side of the draw by the semi's is technically better than us at chasing a bag of wind around a big green field. But the bookies ain't daft. How many went bust in the last 12 months compared to say, travel agents? Exactly.

That Spain v Swiss penalty shootout. Are we sure that wasn't England v England with two German goalies?

The Italian front 3 have got it all. Wonderful to watch.

If Ukraine had a bit of composure they could be dangerous here.... Maybe they should stick Shevchenko on.
