William Hill have cut their odds on Germany eliminating Spain in the World Cup semi-finals.
There has been heavy backing for Joachim Loew's side, including a single bet of 75,000 euros, and that has led the firm to shorten their odds to 10/11.
However, Hills still make Spain favourites to go through, but have lengthened their odds from 8/11 to 4/5.
Spokesman Graham Sharpe said: "This is a remarkable semi final line-up, with four countries whose respective form-lines across the tournament are almost impossible to compare.
"Punters have only the evidence of their own eyes to go on and we bookies are almost equally in the dark as to who will emerge as the champions."
