    Definitely back Belgium over Italy… Italy were shocking against Austria. Belgium weren’t the best against Portugal, but they’re the defending champions.

    I may be biased (extremely) but I think football might be coming home..

    What do some of you guys who aren’t England supporters think — was our performance yesterday worthy of being favourites now?

    We've got an "easy" route to the final but I think we're far from a winning team at the moment. Playing too clinically and defensive. Look at the games on Monday, they were games worthy of a winning team.

    That being said, I've got £20 on England to wine as Paddy Power was doing a booster special at the beginning of the tournament of 9/1. I'll take my £180 happily!

    I feel like Ukraine is the weakest team left. But if you have to respect everyone who made it to the quarterfinals...

    what do you guys think of Spain? Still give them a chance to win it all?

    interested to see if de bruyne and hazard still play and how healthy they are...update not playing lol

    If 81 dangerous attacks, 27 goal attempts and 6 shots on goal means shocking. I'll take that any day for my team lol.

    Why do you think Italy are the favorites? Cause at this moment they're playing much better then Belgium.

    I get it why you guys wanna meet Belgium cause that will be easier for you lmao.

    I think Italy will win this easily and I mean the entire competition.

    No I don't think it was THAT good but then again.... England eliminated Germany, we (Holland) got eliminated by f---ing Czech... France got eliminated by Switserland...

    Anything is possible. I think Belgium and Italy are a little better but neither had a good game the last match so, who knows?!

    Ah, he's Italian. Makes sense. Man, we all want our own countries to win and we are all blind-sighted to our own cause.
    And you know favourites are calculated from betting shops yeah? So whoever is having the most money pumped on them to win will have the lower odds and appear the "favourite". In England, England are "favourites" to win the cup. I'm sure in each country the home team is the favourite. Any Spanish, Belgium etc can verify?

    My predictions are:
    Spain vs Belgium
    England vs Denmark

    Belgium vs England final

    Belgium win

    Nah, I wouldn’t say we’re favourites based on that one performance. We’ve got an easy route to the final for sure, I just can’t get it out of my head that we will do what we always do and that is bottle it in the latter rounds.

    I’m thinking about putting a cheeky little fiver on Denmark to win it (already put a bet on for Belgium to be victors, but what’s a fiver these days)

    @icecube I must have worded that wrong. I'm not Italian, I'm Romanian. But since I was a kid I always supported Italy in World Cups or Euros

    I used to work as a sports bet trader and when they first put the odds out, they;re based on recent form, recent results, statistics and things like that but after that the odds fluctuate based on the amount of money bet on that game but even then they do not change that much

    At this moment it looks like England are the favorites to win it all and Belgium they are far away from that lol. As you can see they are almost as "big" of a fav to win Euro's as Denmark is.

    I mean I love that you give them credit, but Belgium is not that strong of a team. Individually yes but they are not better then England, Italy or Spain. Never was, never will be.

    You guys are gonna see what I'm talking about, tomorrow
