Thankfully there's no more international breaks until well in to the new year and we now know 21 of the 24 teams that'll be competing in Germany at Euro 2024.
A 1-1 draw with North Macedonia was a far from perfect end to England’s qualifying camping but it’s not put the bookies off making Gareth Southgate’s men joint favourites to win the tournament next summer.
Bet365 go 7/2 on the Three Lions alongside World Cup runners-up France who swept away all before them in Group B.
Germany, with home advantage, are 6/1 to claim success on native soil. The three-time champions haven’t won the tournament since 1996, at Wembley, so will feel they’re overdue getting their hands on the Henri Delaunay Trophy once more but Julian Nagelsman doesn't have his problems to seek after another defeat to Austria last night.
Next in the betting are Spain at 7/1. They powered through qualifying after a stuttering start that saw them lose to Scotland at Hampden Park.
Portugal were arguably the most impressive in qualifying, winning all eight matches, scoring 36 goals and conceding just two – although on paper it looked a pretty weak group. Regardless, they’re 8/1 to repeat their 2006, Ronaldo-inspired success.
European heavyweights, Belgium, Netherlands and Italy are all 16/1, with the latter two having to succeed from Pot 3 and Pot 4 respectively in the draw.
Dark horses could come in the shape of Denmark or Croatia who have tremendous tournament experience, both of whom are 33/1.
Fancy Steve Clarke to conquer Europe? You can have 80/1 on Scotland ripping up European Football and “bringing football home” – We can but dream!
The next key date is December 2nd when the draw for the finals will be held in Hamburg.
Then in March we’ll learn who the final three nations to qualify will be. The qualifying play-off semi-finals take place on March 21st with three finals taking place on March 26th.
The tournament starts on June 14th when hosts Germany will kick things off against their opponents in Munich. 51 matches later we’ll be in Berlin for the final and the crowning of the 2024 European Champions on July 14th.

Yesterday’s bet lost
Today’s bet
Brazil serie A
Fluminense v São Paulo
Both teams to score
Bet365. 21/20
NAP
Just noting although I think that chances are not huge ST POLTEN WOMEN are 3/1 just to score at Hills. They are as short as 6/4 elsewhere and they have scored in 4 of there last 5 in champs league and on the flip side Lyon women have conceded in around 40% of there champions league matches in recent times. Worth loose change. Stranger things have happened..

I should have posted this bet earlier before the lines move but Timberwolves should cover the new -7 spread tonight against the 76ers, who are coming off a gruelling OT match up last night and have had their top points scorer ruled out.
I also expect the Clippers to cover their 8.5 handicap v the Spurs after they beat them in all 4 quarters last night in a 25 point blowout, and can close off a treble with the Wizards to lose by more than 4.5 to the Hornets.
Props will be Scottie Barnes +18.5and Dennis Schroder +15.5 to go over their points lines against the Pacers, who took 150 points against last night and are far more focussed on defence than attack. I’m also feeling better about Timberwolves Gobert +10.5 rebounds with Embiid missing for Philly.
