Euro 2012 quarter finals betting odds were available at Bookmaker.eu, which offers signup bonuses that are typically 10 times better than that of their European counterparts.
Most of the early favorites, with the notable exception of the Netherlands, managed to advance into the quarter-finals, including odds-on favorite Spain, England, Portugal, Germany, France and Italy.
Greece was a huge underdog coming into this month’s competition, and it shows. They were listed with 10/1 odds of beating Germany in the coming days.
England comes into its match against Italy having just barely squeaked into the quarter finals.
Roger Bennett of ESPN.com doesn’t seem all that encouraged England will make it past Italy. Bookmakers will certainly be thrilled by that prospect.
After limping into the tournament plagued by an array of injuries, lingering charges of racism and an allegedly stodgy new coach, England now begins to envision glory. “England unexpectedly expects a win against Ukraine” quipped the Guardian’s Barney Ronay before kickoff, in a headline that could have been ripped from The Onion.
The Three Lions’ dreams look less far-fetched after this win. Their reward is a quarterfinal meeting with Mario Balotelli’s Italians instead of defending champion Spain. With Rooney lacking the burst of speed he brought to the 2004 tournament but scoring, what could possibly go wrong now?
