An astonishing 7.8 million people tuned into last night’s Euro 2022 quarter-final between England and Spain as the Women’s Euros continue to take the sporting world by storm, with record breaking results and record breaking attendances coming within the first fortnight of the competition.
Intrigue around the tournament has perhaps never been higher than this summer, with some of the world biggest and brightest talent vying to be crowned the champions of Europe.
Hopes are high in the Lionesses squad that they can repeat, and with the form of Arsenal form Beth Mead, few would bet against them – though former Sunderland striker Mead will also be hoping to be crowned the Golden Boot winner at the tournament after five goals in her first four games. Can she win?
With a host of talented goalscorers still in the tournament, it won’t be easy.
Here are the current bookies favourites* for the tournament.
