That England percentage is at least 39.7% too high. 😭
I’m confused how England were the pre-tournament favourites anyway. They really had that much better odds than Germany/Spain/Portugal coming in? Strange.
On paper the England squad is incredible, so I can see it. Knockout format often means individual quality determines the outcome, too.
Yeah, England has had some wonder goals for sure. And they made the final last time round. But especially in the group stage they looked really lost at times.
I’ve been rooting for them for years now, but somehow I don’t feel they’re as scary as some of the other European national teams.
Oh, they’ve definitely failed to fully capitalise on their talent and I don’t particularly rate Southgate as a coach. Spain has been the best team so far, but anything can happen in a single game.
The odds are partly dictated by betting to ease loss for the bookies so if folks in England were betting heavily on it coming home then it would skew from actual reality of chance of winning.
