    Good luck Nathan…not sure about this bit though ”I haven’t got a patriotic bone in my body”

    So Im looking for payback,
    Holland H/T 2-0 Van Djick to score a header, England to win 3-2 Sky free £5 build a bet @1000/1..

    France have been dull but could nullify Spain tonight, esp with Pedri injured and Carvajal suspended . 2-1 to win in 90 minutes, evens to qualify

    Let’s just hope France have the same individual and collective attitude issues as they had against Belgium and Portugal and they don’t take advantage of the enforced Spanish absences.

    On the basis that France don’t suddenly click when the Spanish bull enters the arena here’s my match “interest” bets

    Under 3.5 goals and France to “Win” the bookings match @ 6/4

    Spain -1 H/C Win @ 5/1

    Viva Espana!

    I make both of these ties toss ups in terms of who qualifies. I know have said I think Spain will win it but if you’re not on anything outright then France and Netherlands to qualify at evens and 11/10 would be the bet imo.

    Landafar I was gripped by Italia 90
    But haven’t shed a tear since over the national side..
    I find the people that say footballers are over paid week in week out are the first to put the flags out when the big tournaments start and puff out their chests with the bull dog tattoos in full view…
    Not for me
    Give me the PL, Championship, Taunton Town and Pub Sunday league instead

    Cracking equaliser tonight by the Spanish kid btw

    6/4 probably about right for England tonight. Expecting a Premier League style match – think Citeh v Chelsea!

    Over 2.5
    BTTS
    9 Corners

    Is my 8/1 Value interest

    England Win & BTTS @ 5/1 isn’t bad value for believers!

    I’m being offered £157.15 for my Spain bet at 13/2. I’m definitely not taking it,
    I think Spain are the best team in the tournament. I hope England go through tonight
    but I can’t see them, or anyone, beating Spain.

    Bloody hell, where did that come from? Vast improvement first half, if anything we should have probably been in front. Not so good second half but Netherlands didn’t bring much either. Overall we edged it but who cares, we’re there :yahoo:

    Should be a good final.. England stepped up a gear tonight and still haven’t reached full throttle
    Wether Southgate or Spain allow them to is doubtful but they have a chance

    Southgate wasn’t afraid to take kane off unlike martinez and Ronaldo. England may have had the soft half of the draw and the penalty was a fortunate call but they still had to win their games. Spain have beaten two big teams, it’s hard to win three so still hopeful my bet will come through

    Finals are very often a disappointment let’s hope England bring their first half performance tonight to the game.

    The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

    England in another final decent achievement.

    Spain will likely win it though. Fast wingers both sides and good at keeping the ball.

    Looking at how things have panned out for both teams, Spain have kept a consistent trajectory with their performances. England have been on a steady upward rise. This could be that England might, quite possibly, peak in the final whereas Spain may still put in a strong effort. If Spain win, it’ll be hard fought IMO.

    Also, England do have a suffocating style of play that appears to stunt strong-attacking sides to some effect. I’m hoping that everything will drop into place and we’ll find the extra determination to win.

    Plenty of teams have won these sorts of competitions after a shaky start. Have Spain peaked too soon? Italy in the 1982 WC were poor in the group stages and then Rossi was unleased.

    Tomorrow will be 5 years to the day since England won the Cricket World Cup for the first time.

    Everything says an England victory then.

    I won’t be watching.
