Dave Mason and the gang from BetOnline are celebrating Switzerland advancing in the Euro 2020. That's because some 87% of the action was on their opponent France to win Monday's game. A significant number of futures were also on France, the favorites to win this year's Euro 2020. Spain now becomes the new favorite to win.
Switzerland beat France 5-4 in this high scoring affair.
The Swiss haven’t reached the quarterfinals at a major tournament since they hosted the World Cup in 1954. This team also ended a run of three consecutive exits in the round of 16. They were knocked out by Poland after losing a penalty shootout 5-4 at Euro 2016.
“We made history tonight,” Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka said. “We are all very proud.”
The Swiss will next play Spain in the quarterfinals on Friday in St. Petersburg.
It was the third game in the round of 16 at Euro 2020 to go to extra time but the first to be decided by penalties.
"Anyone know which alcohol mixes best with Swiss Miss hot cocoa?", an ecstatic Mason asked via Twitter following the win.
