⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

Watched last night match Croatia Azerbaijan, and must say was shocked when Azerbaijan took first goal and could make several more. Dont know what happen to runner up from WC but this is not the team that play so well in WC. Hopefully this was only bad day for them also maybe cuz they didnt have some key players in defense line can be cause for this poor play, but in the end they won the match.

Belgium defeated Russia with 3-1 goal.Hazard scoree twice, a great performance by him.Belgium is one of the favourite team of Euro 2020.They can be the winner also.In last world cup they beat Brazil.And the man Hazard is the key for Belgium.I wish Hazard to be on Real madrid Squad soon.Because he deserve to be on the No1 club in the world.

Best game will be Monday Netherlands -Germany
my bet Netherlands to win

I am looking forward to this one as well. Germany isn't looking good and The Netherlands have a lot of young talents. The Van Dijk an de Ligt duo looks amazing. Anything but a Home victory here would be a surprise for me.

I thought they were part of Asia? How come they will play in EURO?

They are geographically located in Asia but they play in the EURO zone. The geographical location is one thing but any country can actually chose whether they will play in their original zone or play in a different one.
There are other examples of this as well.
For example Australia is located in Oceania but they play their Qualification matches in the Asian zone. That's because the Australians qualified for every single World Cup event without many problems but they never played a proper football match because they ended up destroying most of their opponents in the qualifications. They would arrive to a World Cup without having played a strong opponent through the Quali. round and so they decided to 'move' to the Asian zone where they will face some better teams like Japan or S. Korea and play more competitive matches. 

Another example is Israel. They don't play in the Asian zone but instead they are also part of the EURO zone. The reason is that due to their history they have had conflicts with most of the Middle Eastern countries and therefore playing matches and visiting countries like Jordan, Iraq, Syria etc would only lead to more conflicts.

I was hoping for Russia to create an upset, but just like at Chelsea, if Eden Hazard plays well, then his team will always win,,, or rather at Chelsea they can have a chance to draw;)

I am very interested to see the different styles of the new teams I have never seen. Kosovo for example, and Georgia and Andorra and all those small countries, who never got a chance to go to EURO, but I believe even if they do not win from the group stage they can pass through from Nations League?

The football was awful, on both sides, whit that play, Croatia will be massacred by the Hungarians on sunday
They have to wake up and play the best football they know

[logfiles]

This would be an easy win for Scotland. Never seen or heard that Kazakhstan play football. I know they have a hockey team, which played once in Division A, but was dropped down to Division B.

As for football, they are new to me. I think 0-2 or 0-3 will be the result.

How's the feeling mate?
About the team that had never seen or heard play football  
This is why I love football. Sometimes very unpredictable

Well, we (Croatia) always play better against good sides and our best games always come when the press and feeling around the team becomes a bit depressive. The opposite stands as well.

Easiest money I ever made was on Spain - Croatia game after 2nd place in world cup. I have put as much as I had to spare at that time on Spain and we all know how that one ended. I try not to bet against Croatian teams, mixed feelings and all that.

Hey I feel Croatia is yet strong but they lacked focus last night, but I’m glad they won the game would have been disappointed had they lost. I feel that they we’re playing with over confidence and that’s when they conceded the goal, but they finally managed to snap out of it for a victory. I think you have a valid point without their key players there were bound to be some problems but they coped well.

@tokeweed @Pamoldar Thanks for the support of this thread haha. I didn't mean to compete at all, funny that we were just 10 minutes apart in creating it.

@Trofo I'm backing Croatia to go far this tournament, but like you said, only if they keep coming up against the big bad boys. They've got a funny complex, but I'm not completely unfamiliar with this phenomenon (think Liverpool a few seasons back). It's heartbreaking to be a supporter of a team that can play outrageously good football one week and crappy Sunday football the next.

My other interest is in Georgia. They topped their group in Nations League so have another route to EURO but if they play like they did, they may very well qualify from their group.

Several EUROs ago I loved the way Czech Republic played, and come on, we miss the Dutch at this competition, don't we?

My pick for tonight's Turkey and Bulgaria. Good value to me at just over 5/1 parlay.

Iceland have been poor since WC... maybe they were overachieving after all. I wonder if they could be in for a shock. 7/1 -1 handicap for Andorra looks tempting.

[Harkorede]

I had a hunch Austria vs Poland will be a very low scoring fixture, and I think I'm going to be right.

Well, I had BTTS on this game . But at least I made nice profit from other matches.
Some more games on Friday. England vs Czech Republic and Portugal vs Ukraine looks most interesting, Ronaldo is back to national team for the first time after World Cup.

Oh well, Congrats to you then!

What are thoughts on any of today's fixtures ? I'm kind of more interested in the England vs Czech Republic match, It should be am match worth seeing.

any opinion on england - 1.5 ? or over 2.5 goals ?

XD, I have made two parlay for today match, for England vs Czech Republic I bet England -1.00 (odds 1.43) and over 2.5 (odds 1.74). It seems like Czech Republic was able to make a goal also in this match which seems difficult for England to win 2-0 or 3-1, but hopefully England can afford to get that winning so that I can win fully not push.

I might be going on a parlay too, England have been know to be good while playing their qualifying matches, and Czech haven't been impressive in recent years.

Northern Ireland  2 - 0 Estonia

I had bet on Kazakhstan 3 - 0 Scotland for Scotland and I lost LOL

Then I bet a double in
Belgium 3 - 1 Russia : any team to win
Netherlands 4 - 0 Belarus : Netherlands

And won which recovered  some of my lose. Overall yesterday was not bad for me.

I am thinking my move for today.

I am with you brother. Did I accuse you for anything ? 🙂

England and France play with the main squad meaning they hunt for victory so the two teams are suitable for parlay
England -1.5 and France -2.5

For once, France shows motivation against a much weaker team. They're ahead 3-0 after 37'.

[JeromeTash]

Scores as they stand so far. No big upset tonight

England leads  2 goals in first half.They will win with their godperform. and i think england can add score second half and i hope england get next round. Meanwhile, france win 3-0 but the match is still running
Good parlay

[rdbase]

England 5 - 0 and france 4 - 1 while watching another match.
Surprised portugal didnt score one single goal against ukraine team.

What a game from England, it was an easy win for them and my bets were easily won too.

Good predictions and congrats on your winnings. I'm just regret about one losing in the parlay I made here.

There is nothing surprising in my opinion, Ukraine has a good game and Portugal in my view is still difficult to get an easy win. I even bet on Ukraine with Handicap +1.50 at odds of 1.60, but still my parlay is destroyed. Lol
