Considering how fresh the squad are, I'd say they proved themselves by qualifying for knockout tbf.

Tomorrow.

France vs Argentina
Uruguay vs Portugal

Just absolutely top notch fixtures.

For the American banter guys if you haven't been following and are thinking of doing so, now is the time as the knockout phase starts tomorrow. This is what it's all about

England play on Tuesday.

Just been on Oddschecker and checked the odds for the winner.

Hawk, can you let us know the top 5 favourites and their odds with one of your American bookies?

Cheers if possible.

Interesting. UK bookies have the same odds as i checked. I thought 4th favourites for us was generous and maybe the odds had shortened with UK bookies because of English people betting on England.

So we are really 4th favourites with bookies. Ahead of Argentina, Uruguay and France.

Because of the draw, the bookies think we will make the semis btw (top four favourites - two on either side of the draw).
