    Indeed. And France could very possibly turn it up on Tuesday. They seem to be a level off from that World Cup side.

    I’m guessing it goes to pens. All bets are off.

    That was a very pleasing and amusing moment to witness that.

    Yeah, we're still waiting for France to step it up. It might come against Spain but it might not happen for them at all. They've been so wasteful in front of goal and they still haven't scored from open play in this tournament. That's insane.

    So at the start of the tournament I picked England over Spain in the final. I am sticking with that. I think the Spain-France game will be a snoozer. Spain takes it 1-0. The England-Netherlands game will surprisingly be a barnburner. England wins it 4-2.

    I think it's highly unlikely we see that many goals in the England-Netherlands game. Purely because there's not been that many high-scoring games in this Euros and the way teams are set up to not lose. It would be great though if we see a 4-2 England win.

    Agreed. If if not mistaken the highest scoring game was 5-1 and that was the very first match. It's been all close (at least score wide) for the most part..

    You're right. Germany hammered Scotland 5-1. Next highest was Spain 4-1 Georgia. We've seen a handful of 3-0 and 3-1 results but on the most part, games have been low scoring and close.

    Current odds for that scoreline is 100/1.

    England are going to have to actually take some shots at goal during 90 minutes to stand some chance of scoring four goals.

    100/1?

    If I were over there I'd stick £10 on it.

    And after the tie, I'd be singing this song while running out of Ladbrokes with fistfulls of cash like Kate Bush at the end of the video.

    I'd be tempted to place a double bet on both matches ending 0-0 after 90 minutes.

    My semi final predictions:

    Spain 0-0 France - AET - France to win on pens
    England 2-1 Netherlands - AET

    France still look more dangerous. But they’re not executing in the final third.
