England odds to win Euro 2012 have not really moved all that much, as the Three Lions are still hovering around the price of 12/1 in Bet365 Euro 2012 odds. England opened their Euro 2012 account with a 1-1 draw against France. They played a defensive game against the technically better French, simply dropping two banks of four back behind the ball and not letting France have any space in which to work. So it was a job well done in terms of avoiding defeat, but there is still a lot of work to be done in a pretty open group, with Sweden and Ukraine also contesting. There is no certainties still that England are going to muscle their way out of their group. All they have shown so far is that they are a very good defensive side, but going forward, they have offered very little in terms of possession and clear cut chances. Granted, this is not the strongest English side that coach Roy Hodgson could have fielded, and that is why England still simply remain as an outside bet at the moment. They are not perceived to be strong contenders.
So England odds to win Euro 2012 really are not going to move too much from where they are at the moment. They are a long way back of favourites Germany and Spain, and even France are in at shorter odds of 9/1 in Euro 2012 odds at Bet365. Assuming England do get to the quarter finals, the matches are only going to get harder and harder, and England are an unproven force. If England win their group, they will be paired up against Croatia or Italy, while if they finish as runners up, then the likelihood is, is that they will have to face a quarter final tie against the current defending European Champions, Spain. So some tough work ahead for the Three Lions and therefore, even if they do make it to the quarter finals, even being one of the last eight, they are still not going to have their odds trimmed very much, because in amongst company such as Germany and Spain, they are still going to be an outside bet.
But let’s focus on the positives of England odds to win Euro 2012 at Bet365. They are at least good value, should they spring a surprise. England have a pretty solid looking defence and they are going to be hard to break down. They also have the return of Wayne Rooney to look forward too as well, and that will immediately make them a much better side. So England could prove, like Greece did at Euro 2004 that hard work and discipline can get you as far as flair and creativity. Of course, it is a much harder route to take, and it is a less impressive one for fans to watch. But the determination in the camp of the Three Lions is there and therefore, in international football you just never know, and getting a payout on big odds of 12/1 would certainly be a nice reward!
