However, the duo admitted that they chose Italy as a "potential dark horse team" at the start of the tournament.
Bridge commented: "They are unbeatable, the cohesion of the team, the two centre-backs and the experience they have and they are like players and they are smart - they play, they defend as a team and they keep fit. They definitely have team spirit and their goalkeeper was fantastic. The way they qualified, everything stood out.”
Discussing the draw throughout the tournament, the presenter Joe Ryan noted that this is something all football bettors should consider when choosing an competition before asking Jennings what his opinion of England's chances were if their opponents were different.
