⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[Republikcoin.com]

No big teams playing each other tonight, looks like a crap time to try & win some money. Odds are poor as there are a lot of favourites playing low ranked teams.

It seems like all favorites with low odds are just killing it tonight. Right now with 5 minutes left before break Italy leads 3-0,Bosnia 2-0, Spain 1-0,Switzerland 1-0,Romania 3-0, Ireland 1-0. Even if all odds for this teams to win were low stil this would have been the perfect parlay with a pretty good odd.

Italy will score a lot of goals after scoring 4 goals in the first half, it seems there will be a lot of extra goals in the second half because Liechtenstein plays with 10 players, I think over 7 goals.

What a comeback by Denmark! Switzerland were leading 3:0 until 84th minute and then crazy things happened. 3 goals in just few minutes and result is already 3:3, wow! Actually, it was really boring game to watch, but these last minutes were amazing and worth to watch.
Norway Sweden match probably also was fun with result 3:3 and 2 goals scored on additional time.

Yes I couldnt believe denmark scored at 88'th and 90'th minute of the match to settle it as a draw.
Switzerland was looking as if they were going to take this game away being up 3 - 0 and cruising.
But I guess they got to comfortable and let their guard down.
Denmark has erikson from tottenham on their squad so he probably contributed in their comeback in some capacity.

I missed the match, but watched the highlights in YouTube. It was really crazy... first Jørgensen scored in the 84th minute to make it 3-1. Then Gytkjær made it 3-2 four minutes later. And finally Dalsgaard made it 3-3, during the third minute of extra time. 3 goals in 9 minutes!!! That said, Switzerland is still at 2nd position, as they have 4 points from 2 matches.

And that was not even the only high-scoring match actually,,, there was also the really crazy Norway Sweden match which also produced a 3-3 draw.

I think the biggest surprise was actually Spain who only managed to get in 2 goals. Against only Malta? This is a very weak team they were playing whose odds were over 200 to win. I bet a lot of people lost handicap bets on Spain. What are your tips for the next games, when are they or are the players returning for club games now?

[Naida_BR]

I had placed my bets yesterday for a tie in Switzerland-Denmark and Norway-Sweden.
At around 80' I stopped looking at the matches because I considered them lost and now I read that they both made scores of 3-3. I am so impressed and excited at the same time!

And see what happens, Switzerland got a good lead and then threw it away. And you lose your perfect parlay:)

This is exactly the reason why it doesn't always make sense to bet on the favorites especially when the payouts are so low. It ended up to not be a good parlay just because of one stupid team (switzerland). Lead 3-0 at 76th minute I bet they thought they had it. But Denmark truly deserved this, they had more attempts than Swiss.

Ireland vs Georgia : Ireland
Italy vs Liechtenstein : Italy to win both halves
Malta vs Spain : Spain to win both halves
Romania vs Faroe Islands : Romania

I felt lucky with this pick yesterday. If I would pick one more team from the qualifying round in win - draw - win market then I would lose it. I definitely wound not go with a draw.

Good luck everyone until the next match day which is after a long break by the way.

Feeling good about English football right now.  The good showing at the World Cup, trashing opponents in this qualifier, and 4 EPL clubs in the final 8 at the CL.

My Georgia did put up quite a fight but it wasn't to be. I honestly couldn't care about the other results at the moment, but so far my pick of the tourney hasn't delivered. Only 1 parlay won in these flurry of first qualifiers, I think I may have a nett loss but still early days.

Now, back to club action. Wonder how many people got injured by this latest bout of internationals? I dread to read team news post qualifiers.

And see what happens, Switzerland got a good lead and then threw it away. And you lose your perfect parlay:)

Yup. But to be fair, I think of all the legs in that parlay, Switzerland was the highest paying one IIRC.

About time the tossers reminded us how good they can be when they're not Spice Boys, right?

A 5-1 win against a minnow side like Montenegro is no reason to get ballistic. For starters, the population of Montenegro is less than 1% of that of England. Luckily for England, the got themselves placed in a very weak group along with teams such as Kosovo and Montenegro.

That is why national teams and league teams are so different on odds. National teams do not play 30+ games a year and that means they are not used to each other and the risk is just too big. Why does the sportsbooks give you low odds for possible winning teams?

Because, if we are talking about Barcelona vs bad team we know what Barcelona can do and how amazing they are but if we are talking about any great national team like Spain or France and what not they could lose at any moment because those teams only played like once or twice whole year together, roster is foreign to each other and they need to just get to know each other and could do silly mistakes, sportsbooks do not take that chance and just give low odds for you. That is why qualifying would probably have bad odds but the real cup would probably have good odds.

I was reading some articles from the spanish media talking about the game, and some journalists said that they felt like they lost against Malta, just because they couldn't score more than 2 goals, which to be honest, is actually alarming considering that Malta is one of the worst teams in Europe.

I'd be surprised if they don't win every single game in the group, actually, they have to win every game since Group A is by far the easiest group of the qualifiers, I mean, the only decent team is Czech Republic and they lost 5-0. They should just give England the ticket to the Euro 2020.

Certainly feels like the time for English football is coming again. Football goes in cycles doesn’t it & it could be time for especially English club teams to shine.

Yeah! easy to see that when it's still world cup/Euro qualifiers, wait when the real world cup action starts that's when we all get to realize that it was just  a dream

Can't say the same for Champion's league as the last time this happened (2008-09 Champions League). Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United advanced and beat Barcelona in the Final.
That would turn out to be Cristiano Ronaldo's best and last season at United.

Portugal struggling in this beginning , they have drawn at home against Serbia which although is a good team I think Portugal should have took the three points from this match.

Yesterday games produced a lot of goals although the odds didn't suggest there would be tons of goals in Sweden and Switzerland game which means some of the games were really fun ti watch.A game with 6 goals I think is never boring to watch.

Sure a 6 goal match is never a boring game if you are a neutral but one would certainly feel disappointed if they expected their team to win or if they placed a bet on a certain team to win and it didn't win 😬

I wonder how this will work out, it almost sounds like a champions league games where the teams and the supporter's flyes in the same day and leaves the host city a few hours after the game. The whole soul of the EURO national team championship is going to absent in 2020.

It may be more tiring for the teams but fans have the possibility of watching games that they couldn't because they couldn't transport to another country.
I believe that the organizers may thought of that and they will not make a difficult schedule for the teams with a lot of flights in a short period of time.
