Who's your cash going on then?
I'm sorely tempted to have a punt on France - reckon they're massively under-rated by the bookies.
Will definitely be putting cash on Germany - I suspect with Barcelona's recent form that this will be a tournament too far for Spain. They'll go deep in the tournament but I'm not convinced that their key players will have enough in the tank to get over the line.
Yea surely Spain can't fluke another tournament after their jam-laden World Cup campaign.
Germany overwhelming favourites for me.
Latest winner odds from oddschecker:
Spain 11/4
Germany 7/2
Netherlands 15/2
England 12/1
France 63/5
Italy 141/10
Portugal 20/1
Russia 25/1
Ukraine 53/1
Croatia 61/1
Poland 66/1
Sweden 80/1
Greece 89/1
Czech Republic 96/1
Republic of Ireland 100/1
Denmark 108/1
Even allowing for the patrioric punter England are comically bad value there. Italy look the value to me, but the winner's goona come from the first three.
Someone post the tournament odds, I cbf
Edit - Brumby psychic evidently
Pretty long odds for Republic of Ireland. They are always pretty tough to beat. If I were a gambling man I might be tempted to see what the odds of them qualifying from their group are as Spain and Italy are ****e in the group stages. Croatia are fairly crap.Quote:
