England Tonight.
I can honestly say I'm stf with all this coverage. Look at it based on form.
Spain have won every game so far in this tournament, and against really strong teams.
England are unbeaten but unconvincing. On that basis, Spain have to be the strong favourites.
I want England to win but they need to improve greatly to beat Spain. I can't see it myself, based on what's happened so far.
And please cut all the gunge about "It's coming home". I don't think it is, but I hope I'm wrong.

10C, you may well be correct. However, as i said on another thread yesterday, Englands progress to the final reminds of the 2016 tournament in which a far from convincing Portugal team drew their first 3 games, qualified as one of the 4 best 3rd placed teams, needed extra time twice and a penalty shoot-out before beating Wales 2-0 and progressing to the final. There they met a free-scoring French team, the host nation and red-hot favs. France's goal-spree dried up and Portugal scored the only goal of the game - in extra time.
There have already been some quite unexpected results in this tournament. We have room for one more, hopefully. 🤞
By the way, odds-wise, Spain are 6/4 (not even odds-on) while we are 12/5.
I would agree that Bellingham has been disappointing overall. I think maybe he (like Kane, Foden and others) is almost running on empty after long seasons. I also think he would be better if Kane weren't in the side. And finally , though he and Foden have had wonderful seasons and are highly taleneted, they don't seem to work together. I'd like to see stats on how many passes these two have made to each other- only a handful in 6 games I reckon.
