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.

9. Kadidiatou Diani (France) - 66/1
Kadidiatou Diani of France is capable of firing her side to the final of Euro 2022, and while she has had a good start to the tournament, one goal in three games mean she will have to add a few more to have a good chance of winning the Golden Boot. Photo: Alex Pantling
10. Vivianne Miedema (Netherlands) - 80/1
Widely seen as the best striker in women's football, poor old Viv was struck down with Covid-19 after just one game and has yet to return to the Dutch squad - meaning her odds to win the Golden Boot are dramatically low. Photo: Lewis Storey
