England on the other hand, were hanging on for dear life against the not so good French & Ukrainians and defensively looked a mess against the Swedes.
We certainly shouldn't be favourites, it's only the patriotic money that has us in that position. The value certainly does lie with the Azzurri.

yeah, you could be right. Oddly I thought England looked the most solid against the French side. But they were calamitous at times in the other games.
Outright doesn't really interest me but I might go for Italy 2-0.

I did take the 0-0 as a bit of insurance. I've just about broke even. We were battered in the 2nd half.

Simpson is 15/8 which is cracking value. Even though I slightly favour Appleby, this is close to a 50/50 fight.
Its a very close fight on everything we know, as long as Simmo is not affected by his ko against Selby, This has to be close, I have backed the draw at 25/1, its only 10 rounds
as well so I struggle to see each man not winning 3 or 4 rounds each so that only leaves a couple to split to make it close and at 25/1 its a decent chance of nicking a monkey.

Just like the Italians the other night
I had a few quid on the 0-0 draw last night at 7s. Bet365 refund all losing bets if its 0-0 too so i won all my other stake money back too. Bonus. Im ahivng a very good tourney atm. Germans 1-0 or 1-1 draw tonight i think.

My Italian bet was a winner the other night. I thought England might put 11 behind the ball so that's why I had the Italians to qualify at evens. Justice was done in the end.
The Germans just create so many chances I fail to see them not scoring within 90 minutes. I also fancy a few goals in this so I've backed over 2.5 goals @ 7/5
I'm on the Germans outright for the tournament @ 9/2 so overall I've quite a chunk riding on this game tonight.

Germans gonna run riot here, this will be ugly. Remember how shit Italy looked for 15 minutes in the first half vs England? Germany will tear them apart. Hope I'm wrong though.
broke even on the night, outright is down the pan.
