Craig Burley CANNOT BELIEVE England are betting favorites to win EURO 2024 | ESPN FC
the bracket is set because all of those group stage games have been played and we know who will be facing who and let’s just put this uh as it is there is one side of the bracket that is definitely a lot heavier than the other side and as for England lucky for them they’re not on the side that’s quite so heavy next up for them is Slovakia now you can see how things they play out Romania against Netherlands Austria will be taking on Turkey a England against Slovakia Switzerland Italy on the other side Spain Georgia Germany will face Denmark Portugal against Slovenia and France against Belgium so England against Slovakia C I mean I’m not been funny but how lucky do you have to be at every recent major tournament I mean the way that it has fallen for England 2018 2021 uh 2022 World Cup to an extent uh the pathway that they they’ve had through the early stages and now the knockout is scary and there’s no getting away from that right now Slovakia could knock them out the way that they’re playing I don’t think so 45th Rank by FIFA you know that’s where England have fallen into this and it’s fallen on G southgate’s lap again and they’re as bad as they are and have been they could go quite deep in this t tournament because they’re in once again and this is not any anti-english bias this is factual you go back and look at it they have somehow managed to get themselves through an easier side the the their uh the group wasn’t particularly difficult they made it a lot more difficult than it than than it looked and now this potential pathway I’m going to say is about as easy as it comes if we were looking at that on balancing scale shacker it would be completely mismatched all over on one side we’re seeing Spain Germany Portugal and France we all those those the two finalist from the last Euros run one half of the bracket in England and Italy I say tongue totally in in Chek here listen I I I’m I’m I’m with Craig in that if you’re England you look at at that side of the bracket or more to the point you look at the other side of the bracket and you can’t believe how fortunate you’ve been you’ve been desperately poor all tournament long yet you can you can see a path all the way through all the way to through to the final the only major test really being being Italy uh who themselves last Euros apart have not really well haven’t qualified for for International International tournaments um listen and and and all of a sudden you put a run together maybe you put some good form together and the all the conversations that we’ve been having about England in the group stage is long forgotten trouble is you just question whether G solgate this team and how poor everybody has been are able to raise their game as as needed so I wonder who are favorites when it comes to winning the whole tournament when it comes to it’s not England I tell that yes yes it is yes it is England the head of SP France Germany all your thoughts well no one one second I need to say something no no I need to say I’m going to be if I don’t say something then don’t say who you think’s going to how the hell can England be favorites how how can anybody in the right mind say how how many do you think they’re going to be running down to ESN bet whatever that is I don’t you think they’re going to be going online ESPN bet 3 to1 England 3 to1 Let’s Get on God I wouldn’t put money on I’m at 3001 I’m going to send you to the positivity card really [Music]

Portugal lose to Georgia
France only finish 2nd in their group
Croatia out of Euro
But of course they only talk about how poor England
It's not luck Craig. It's corruption. England's path to the later stages has been fixed for the last 4 major tournaments at least. Anyone who follows football sees that. The previous Euro was practically their home tournament, where they played all games except the one against Ukraine at home. And they still haven't won it, not even once in their history. That's how they useless England are. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the most boring teams in this tournament yet they manage to get easy bracket and will win like Portugal did in 2016
Even before the tournament started I didn't not make them top 3 favourites. Now after 3 matches I would not make them Top 5 favourite. These players are overrated, overpriced and OVERPAMPARD.
Foden in 3 matches has looked like a CHAMPIONSHIP player.
I can see them coming home on Monday, just like RISHI SUNAK leaving early on D Day
Who benefits if CR7 does not improve his record? His biggest rival, the fraud that has the corrupt media like ESPN doing for him what he can't do on the field and the corrupt organizations that have helped him, like FIFA, BDOR, etc. Who benefits if CR7 sits on the bench?His biggest rival, the fraud that has the corrupt media like ESPN doing for him what he can't do on the field and the corrupt organizations that have helped him, like FIFA, BDOR, etc. So, who pays these corrupt like ESPN to propagate this narrative?

ESPN FC are so corrupt that they delete my comments because they don't want people to know the truth.
england is so lucky. by the time they reach the finals whoever is part of the actual eurocup competition will be so exhausted that they will be easy picking. but england probably won t even be able to beat netherlands, italy or austria.
Here I dare say it this aint luck FA sleeps with Uefa higher ups or something there aint no way this wasn’t fixed to some extent
"Media hype is coming home."
The bitter jealous Scot fuming about England as usual. SCOTLAND GET BATTERED, EVERYWHERE THEY GOOOOOO.
Hey losers aren't you going to comment on how Argentina robbed Chile? Everything is starting to break…
Look at all these losers and corrupt punks deleting my comments because they are afraid of people knowing the truth.
England scored one goal and look where they are.
Craig is hilarious 😂😅he can't stand England

Germany are the favourites by performance so far.
England can't even beat Switzerland, Austria, Turkey and the Netherlands.

It's interesting how England seems to "recurringly" end up on an easy path in these events?!?
I think Italy are more like 40-1. They are disgraceful and that coming from a fan! They won't get past Switzerland anyway.
English clubs to some extent has this same can of luck in European competition….
A Scottish c***
England playing Slovenia and then Slovakia. Wow, England fans are going to be confused. Especially when they get knocked out.
Most overrated trash team and hardly beat a weak group and yet get another easy bracket . Wish they got Spain see how good they are.
Rooney and shearer complaining about corgis Italy gsme and you bums fell asleep at your own game against Slovenia
It’s just bets England ain’t winning it
I can't see anyone but Spain winning this tournament, they're looking ominous. The Austria v Turkey game could be a cracker.
England is a team of clowns who are always brought up by the English media
"England are fortunate"… England couldnt impress in their easy group. The media again assuming England will roll over teams despite little evidence
I don't think England will win this, I think Germany or Spain will win a trophy
slovakia will see off england. that's a free money alert written all over it
The English think they are the only ones in the world with "pundits" betting on their own team. Laughable.
Everybody in England has had a lazy 20 on England winning , thats why the low odds . Always the same in the cricket . Hes just a salty sweaty sock !
England also have the Netherlands on their side…if they can even get past Italy.
If England didn't have a manager and the players just went out on the field and played. I guarantee that they would do better. Southgate should be cleaning toilets for a living.
England italy quarters
Craig Burley really needs to get another life. His obsession with England is verging on the hysterical.
Sense when has playing Italy being easy.
This Craig guy is always such an anti England guy just as he Scottish ….boring
England are to blame for France not winning their group? For the Dutch finishing third ….. it is what it is ….I ain’t a Southgate fan but u can’t blame him for other teams falling short ie French etc ??
England expected goals against so far 0.38. That's very low. If they fix the attack then they win Euros
The only major test won't be italy, …turkiye can beat england and so can holland
More England hate? Got to love ESPN with their objective coverage 🤥
