So any thoughts on who will win the tournament? I haven't watched many games but the way results have gone, it looks like a pin in a list of those left is as likely as an informed and observational opinion.
It's really close now.
QF1.
France were red hot favourites but have messed about and really have no excuse. 3-1 up after absolutely killed the swiss in 10/15 mins second half. so now the swiss get to play spain.
Spain would be unimpressive but crawled through there after messing up their back line. I would have had them to beat croatia but they were very unimpressive.
Both teams have 120mins in their legs and play friday. You would have to think that's a bridge too far for the swiss?
QF2:
Belgium would be a favourite now i guess.
However this game also has Italy in there.
I could not separate these two teams. the winner will play Spain in the SF.
QF3:
Denmark should be make weights, that's a should though,
Czech republic should also make weights really, again that's a should. One of these will be in a semi final though and from there anything could happen.
QF 4:
This will be england or germany. I can't call it right now. i think its 60/40 germany if southgate goes negative.
The last game is Sweden v ukraine. also both should be makewieghts.
So spain v belgium/italy. Yeah right about now with KDB njury you could stick in pin in a list to pick one.
On the other side england really have no excuse not to be in the final as the entire thing has opened up in front of us. Germany are the major road block but couldh av e3 players out and have been poor defensively but then SWEDEN and one of denmark or czechs?
However wins this evening should be in the final.
Italy are the dark horses imo. (if they don't have to chase a game anywhere)
Belgium should be "the favourites" now.
england ought to be in the final with the side they can field.
