That England percentage is at least 39.7% too high. 😭

I'm confused how England were the pre-tournament favourites anyway. They really had that much better odds than Germany/Spain/Portugal coming in? Strange.

The odds are partly dictated by betting to ease loss for the bookies so if folks in England were betting heavily on it coming home then it would skew from actual reality of chance of winning.
