Of course they say that, but it still feels like if it starts a little crunchy, it feels like the audience will be to a disadvantage, they have everything to lose too

Mmm, not simply to go in as a favorite in a championship at home.

So tagged!

Looking forward to a great match :)

Cool statistics!

How are the different teams weighted in such a simulation?

Me too, Jakis!

Glad you're pissed.

I only know that Gracenote has counted on some home ground advantage (and that Sweden is also a strong gold candidate!) But you can read more in the article here.

Is not that big a difference on the team, Austria was in the semi last so England do not think pallets for the pressure they are not used to such a large audience think it inhibits them

Interesting point of view, the team themselves have said that they hope that the audience will be "the twelfth player".

But that also means pressure.

Norway will somehow be England's decisive opposition when it comes to settling for the group victory, it is difficult to see that Austria and Northern Ireland will be able to challenge these 2 over 90+ minutes

You're probably right there!

It is barely half an hour to kick off and what better way than to rattle off some conditions?

First of all: neither England nor Austria have won the European Championships before, but according to Statistics Gracenote, England is the best candidate, with a 21% probability of taking home the gold, while the probability of Austria winning gold is 1%.

(Read more about the simulation HERE)

England, who directly qualified for the European Championships through their hosting, are eight in Fifa's world rankings, while Austria, who made it to the championship after finishing second in their group in the qualifiers, are in 21st place.

The teams have met three times since 2017 (two internationals and once in the World Cup qualifiers) and England have won all matches (3-0, 3-0 and 1-0).

The league captain for England is Sarina Wiegman and in Austria Irene Fuhrmann holds the role.

Think it will be 0-0 Austria is defensively good

Yes, one should not underestimate Austria.

When the teams met in the World Cup qualifiers in November, England had to fight to get the 1-0 victory.

Tonight, an audience record is expected - and with flying colors.

It is sold out at Old Trafford, which swallows over 74,000 spectators.

The previous record on the women's side, from the European Championship context, is 41301 in the audience in the final between Germany and Norway at Friends Arena 2013.
