Same, I am pacing up and down and setting off soon to walk the greyhounds, I am hoping they have a calming effect on me. I am going to call into the bookies to place a bet on the game, I am so confident a win I fear I might put my house on it..

Just have a fun bet mate. Until Sunday/monday I haven’t backed England in years.

I’m having 3-2 again

Having a lot of money on a game takes the enjoyment out it imho.

Yes a good call, I am thinking this isn't going to be a high scoring game but Norway will definately break through and score so I am going 2.1

Yeah it’s probably going to be a tight game. But 3-2 seems to be lucky, I’ve only put £20 on. That’s my only bet

Another (hopefully not) result is 1.1 after extra time and then penalty's. Then we are into nail biting territory.

It is a strong possibility as both sides are going to heavily defend and goals are going to be difficult to get.
