Looking good but it's not over 'til it's over as the man said.

Spain are the best team in the tournament, and those who backed them at 5/2 have got a good price. However, when I've watched them recently they have looked less than convincing, a little jaded even. That's not to say they won't win the comp, they probabaly will, but I just wonder if a fresh, young France side with lots of pace, could beat them in a one-off game. I'm not sure that the quality in the womens' game is sufficiently high to definitively predict that one team is that much better than all the rest. On any given day France, England or maybe Germany could get the breaks and do enough to scrap for a win, or get to pens, when it will be a coin toss.

True, the women's game is much more volatile. I don't think they have the same mental strength as the men's pros, and the standard opens the door for freak goals, etc.

Any thoughts on Portugal V Italy?
Portugal lost 5-0 to Spain, Italy beat Belgium 1-0
Italy look short at 1.74 and with only one goal between them so far it might be low scoring. The market is currently 1.88 for unders.

Blimey

Catenacci!

Against Belgium Italy scored just before HT. Looking at the second half stats Belgium only had one shot at goal.
I think I'll put my faith in Italy's defence and back 0-0 with a view to cashing out at around 35 minutes and BTTS :no

This is not a straightforward call

Well done Hanibal.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Early second half always seems to be a dangerous time for goals so I have converted the BTTS:no to a bet to nothing at a cost of 22 ticks. No pressure now although it looks like a single goal will win it for either side.

A lovely chip. Portugal deserve to get something

But yeah, lots of volatility in these games. Most don't have it in them to close it out

Cheers Foin, it comes with the territory

Can Germany cause Spain some problems particularly in the air?

Do we fancy England today v Netherlands?

No confidence whatsoever as a betting prospect WD. Mesdemoiselles should put clear water between themselves and the Welsh ladies and that's the one I'm going for. I will watch both matches of course.
Well done with your Sweden bets.

Also thinking about and England -1 as it is a knockout match now. If England do go 1-0 Dutchies will have to go for it

I'm starting with a back of India for tomorrow WD. Even if they lose the toss they might still have a bat first!

It would be funny if Stokes won the toss batted and England went 5 down before lunch!

I think India do look good Foinavon. I think playing Carse is a mistake even though I like him.

India look fresher

Too many unknown unknowns for me. I got a strange but contrarian view that the pitch might be good and both sides could score 500 or one side gets under 200!

I just feel an England lay gives you more opportunities to recover or take a small hit if it goes against you. Laying at evens is attractive to me with so much uncertainty as I do believe two teams are relatively well matched and have been separated only by luck and bad calls at the toss.

I dua have the best strike bowler and should be favourites but I want to have the safety of the draw before throwing money at a result

Lauren James is kwality and Lauren hemp on the other side is on it too.

I think England had 57% possession against France despite not bossing the midfield.

Only managed to get a small bet on at -1 but great start! Decent bet on England.

England look dangerous up front. Good movement.

Absolute stroll for England. Could easily be 4-0. Netherlands no pace, no energy, offering nothing. Well taken goal from James, but you always get the impression she is playing in second gear. Goal made up for that feeble headed attempt.
