We Have a team full of world class players and with Phil "Beckenbeaur" Jones there is no way we can be beaten.....

You do realise betting odds are based on how much the punter bets on a specific team in this case.......

Obviously a lot of Englishmen thinking with thier heart have bet lots of money on England.....

Bookies dont represent the strength of the teams.But represent teams which are more likely to be backed with money to win.

Its common knowledge that large no. of bets are placed on England to win english fans more than fans from any other country regardless of how realistic their chances and its not just in football.So u must be a stupid bookie not to put England as one of the favourites to win regardless of how strong they are.

Even they i dont think ur title is correct.They are more likely to placed as 3rd favourite behind Spain and Germany rather than top favourite like ur title implies once the tournament comes closer.

Edit : Just seen this already explained by others.
