ENGLAND have battled their way through to a second successive European Championships final but the bookies reckon slick Spain will get their hands on the trophy.
Gareth Southgate's men were tournament favourites before a ball was kicked but they haven't been playing like champions and lady luck has been smiling on them.
The performance against the Netherlands in the semi-final was probably their best so far yet Betfred still make the Three Lions 11/10 outsiders to lift the trophy.
Spain are just 8/11 in the same market and that's probably because they've swept aside the likes of Italy, Croatia, Germany and France on their march to the final.
However, most of Southgate's squad can call on the experience of losing the Euro 2020 showpiece to Italy on penalties while some of Spain's bright young things are gracing a final for the first time.
That could make England the smart call to come out on top at odds-against in what looks like a 50/50 clash for me.

Spain v England Top Betting Tips
Although the Spanish have been playing much better football than England so far, there's not much between these squads if England's big guns perform at their peak.
That makes me think this could be a tight final, with the half-time draw paying 9/10 at Betfair and the full-time stalemate at 15/8.
Bukayo Saka has been a big threat down the right flank for England and Chelsea's Marc Cucurella will be tasked with keeping him quiet tonight. He's prone to diving into tackles so looks worth a punt for a card at 11/4.
There's some decent prices in the shots market too, with Phil Foden 10/11 for one or more shots on target and the same bet paying 6/5 for Spain midielder Fabian Ruiz.
For a long-odds option, Betfred are offering 11/2 on any player scoring direct from a free-kick.
Argentina v Colombia Top Tips
The Copa America also comes to a conclusion in the early hours of Monday morning and the clash between Argentina and Colombia should be a cracker.
Defending champions Argentina have conceded just once in the whole tournament but their defence will be tested by a Colomnbian side who have netted 12 times so far.
This is a repeat of the 2021 semi-final, which the Argentines won on penalties after a 1-1 draw. I wouldn't be surprised if this was similarly close and the half-time draw pays 9/10, with a stalemate at 90 minutes priced 9/5.
Colombia had to play the whole second half with 10 men in their semi-final with Uruguay and that game saw heaps of cards dished out.
Things could get spicy again in the showpiece and combining BTTS with each team getting over 19.5 booking points pays 7/4 at Betfred.
I also like the 5/4 they offer on each half having over 3.5 corners.

In play – Currently Half time
Canada v Uruguay for the Copa America 3rd place play off
Canada went 1-0 down after 8 mins but equalised on 22mins and since then have had by far the better chances in the first half.
Canada to win at 11/2
or safer option 3/1 draw no bet
Canada took the lead on 80mins but the Vampire\Luis Suárez 🧛♂️ sunk his teeth.. ehh sorry the ball into the back of the net in the 92nd to take it to pens, so it ended up 2-2 draw\no bet.
Goal short in Dallas overnight, other game came in 1-5.

Djokovic to beat Alcaraz 3-1
England to lift the cup
10/1
GL all 🍀 🏆
Loser overnight in the mls. Red card didn’t help but was already looking unlikely.
Today it’s just a very simple single
Spain have been a completely different level to anyone else in the tournament while England have managed to play decent football in one half of a match so far. Even if England play well they just aren’t good enough to beat the Spanish.
Spain to win @7/5 is extremely good odds in my opinion.
Again even if the bet loses I will be happy.
Come on the three lions lose me some money
Spain to hit the woodwork 43/20
England to hit the woodwork 27/10
Both teams to hit the woodwork 12/1
Unibet
Worth a punt for a bit of interest .

Can’t you give us a clue
3-0
3-1 Spain
Around 30/1ish. Just a couple of quid
Any need for this, not sure anyone gives a monkeys who you want to win, ruins the thread pointless posts like that. Sure I’m not the only one who thinks that.
Elvis has got serious issues with England 🤣
Cheer up macca FFS.
And of course you’ve never posted any anti man utd stuff here no ??
It’s a bit of humour nothing more nothing less
Nothing wrong with a bit of banter elvis, we know you don’t like England, (but willing to take their benefits lol), but the text is a bit much takes the whole thread up.
Yes too many flags macca I agree, sorry if I’ve wrecked the thread .
Id ask admin to delete a few of them but since hull shaker left don’t think there is an active admin anymore.
For the record the constellations are pointing towards an England win, the draw, the Bellingham equaliser etc.
Bare form suggests a Spain win in 90.
To be honest I couldn’t part with cash directly on the game as I can’t call it though I have Spain to lift the trophy and alcaraz in the tennis as a double.
It’s Spain in 90 or England after that.
Spain got a poor record in big shootouts, the Morocco one in the world cup still fresh in my mind with that hakimi panenka winning it.
Three lions com’ on and the argentina you have my full blessings

Wouldn’t be surprised if hullshaker just decided to stop betting,stats etc don’t count for anything,pure speculation, Wouldn’t be shocked if Spain won but performance during tournament has been top notch and your getting a mouth watering 7/5 for them to win in normal time, love the phrase If it sounds to good to be true…..
Kane shot on target ( includes extra time ) 1/1 Skybet
Only a tenner maximum tho
Be wary of this Extra time thing cocker, Kane won’t play the full 90 mins. bookies know this
Still will easily have SOT before substitutions. If we need a goal pretty sure he will stay out there and Watkins/Toney will come on for midfield
Maybe macca , but he scored in extra time against the Slovaks mate .
May the best team win no matter who it is
Saka n Cucurella bookings and Spain most corners 50/1 WH epic boost
Spain 2-1 n -1 corner 18/1
Btts, card each team, Foden Sot 3/1
Let’s hope it’s a good game
Best of luck 👍

Scottish Championship 2024/25
Bet365 have finally released their prices on this, No obvious Candidate to head the market like previous years, ( Killie , Dundee, and this years winners Dundee United )
Falkirk to win at 15/2 ( 1/4 odds 1,2,3)… Hills currently offering 11/2 ( 1/5 odds 1,2, 3 )
Falkirk absolutely run away with Div 1 last year not losing a game.
Very ambitious club, Experienced manager set up and will probably have the biggest average home attendance this season ( altho the latter dosn,t guarantee performances on the pitch )
Couple of weeks until the Olympics start in Paris. 3 favourites for the tournament and 10/1+ the field. Group opponents in brackets…
France 9/4 (USA, Guinea & NZ)
Argentina 12/5(Morocco, Iraq & Ukraine)
Spain 11/4(Egypt, Uzbekistan & Dominican Republic)
6/4 for all 3 too top their group seems a solid bet.
France have named Lacazette and Mateta as 2 over aged players and Olise is also in the squad, hopefully they’re better too watch than the seniors were at the Euros
Spain vs England
Over 1.5 match goals
