I don't think the tournament has been help by the line up of the QFs, 4 easily predictable winners (lets face it taking off our England tinted specs, no one outside our borders gives us much of a chance). The semi should be a lot better and closer games, although seeing past a Spain Germany repeat final is extremely hard.
Hmm, really don't agree with that. Think most will be looking at it as almost a 50/50 game with Italy as slight favourites.
I honestly see England as slight favorites, Italy have looked solid this tournament, but I just see the Hodgson/England connection as a perfect combination.
