on paper, game should’ve been a landslide for uruguay if they didn’t spend the entire match trying to murder each other. i hope you enjoyed the garra charrua experience.
Yet England is *still* the odds-on favorite to win the Euros, based, I assume, on the strength of their remarkable record of (checks notes) one single tournament win over their 150+ year history.
And yet today's betting line has them as favorites over Spain and, in 150 years, they have one tournament victory.
England has never won a European Championship, unlike Greece and Denmark.
They still aren’t odds on though.
The reason England are short priced is it’s because it’s English bookies that make the odds.
They are going to take far more bets on them than any other team, so the price is always shorter to protect their liabilities.
Yes, they are the "favorite" but not the favorite.
And don't get me wrong. I'm not hating on England. I feel bad that the team has to endure such abusive treatment from the media. The coverage of wins (on both sides of the pond) is full of disappointment, inadequacy, even venom. It's sad.
