We do have the group phase behind us and for 8 teams the tournament is over. Th other 16 countries still have a shot for glory. They all still dream of lifting the trophy! Let's see what their road to the final is and what the bookmakers are thinking about it!
The bracket!
Above you do see the bracket and the road to the final for each team! Behind the () the odds of the bookmakers. The lower the odds, the more chance a team has according the bookmaker to win the Euro 2020!
To be honest, I do think the the left side of the bracket is way heavier than the right side. I can imagine that the fans of the teams on the right side, all do have the dream to reach the next round.
On the right side I do think that the Netherlands will reach the semis and probably will face Germany (or England).
If we do have to follow the odds of the bookmakers than the semi-final on the right side of the bracket would be England vs The Netherlands.
The left side of the bracket is a lot tougher to predict. Probably Italy will go through to the next round, but all the other games could turn into real nail biters!
Spain did win their last game with 5-0 but that didn't say a lot! This game could be tougher for Spain then most of us and also the bookmakers think!
France also has a decent chance to march on!
The real clash on the left side is Belgium vs Portugal. It is impossible for me to see which team will go true to the next round, I am pretty biased! Belgium is slightly the favorite for this game. It will be a great offense (Belgium) against a sturdy defense. We also can't rule out the Ronaldo effect! While he is getting older, he always does bring something special!
If you do want to calculate the probability of a team to win the Euro just divide 1 by the odds. So the chance of France winning the cup would be (1/4.75) * 100 = 21.052%.
I will not fill in the Belgium vs Portugal game because I don't want to jinx myself!
What are you ideas about who will progress to the next round?

Some players did swap places. Erik can start to make up some ground because he still has 10 teams in competition. Costanza and myself are down to 9. Ervin lost already 4 teams! But as long as a team is in the competition he still will earn points!
