Goldman Sachs says England will still make it to the final — but lose to Belgium

Goldman's analysts built their model by looking at the number of goals scored in international football matches since 1980

Analysts from Goldman Sachs have predicted England's path to the final of the Euros will see them tie against Ukraine and beat Denmark, only to cede the cup to the Belgians in the final.

The bank's statistical model, which stimulates the European Cup, was updated on 30 June, after England beat Germany in a highly anticipated match.
