xG stats:

Belgium (0.23) 1-0 (1.56) Portugal

Birdy in the mud

Proving what exactly?

Portugal deserved more, quite obvious to anyone watching the 2nd half.

It would have been the inverse I suspect, if Portugal had taken a lead instead of Belgium.

xG doesnt take into consideration that one team has a significantly better GK in this match.

When was the last time the Swiss played well, let alone upset anyone?

Italy over weakass Belgium, then beat France
Denmark/Czech to beat England in semis

Italy - France or Spain the 1st semi, and Germany-Denmark the other.
I would fancy a final between Italy and Germany

True.
xG cannot take that into consideration (at least now, maybe in the future that will change).
Same is for players with exquisite finishing ability

Spain looking lively.

But, knowing previous fixtures... They will need 2031 chances to score.

Oh, our favourite offside goalgetter is playing. No hope for Spain.
