⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

Greece lost to Armenia and it was big surprise for me.
I also a bit disappointed that France scored just 4 goals against Andorra because I had over 4.5 goals bet on this game.
And huge Germany win against Estonia 8:0. I thought they are going to score just 4-5 goals tonight
But in general this Euro qualifiers round was profitable for me and I made some nice money.

just look at the last home games of the Greece team. their performance is quite bad so losing to Armenia is not a surprise.

Greece is indeed very bad. 2 defeats from 3 matches. when against Bosnia, Greece got a draw and when against Turkey also suffered defeat. So it's true, it's not a surprise for Armenia to win Greece. So Greece must rise for the next match.

I just watched Germany vs Estonia match, at what point do you really stop ?
I mean I know this is a game and Germany cannot be blamed and they could have scored 30 if they could so there is no limit but this is national game and I am 100% sure after the game Estonian newspapers all wrote how horrible the team played and now we have players who are basically all ready to retire just after one game, if you scored like 3-4 games already, or even 5, hell maybe 6? Don't you think scoring the 7th and 8th is a bit over the top?

Germany should have indeed stopped after the fourth goal, but they decided to score more goals which I feel is against sportsmanship. Estonian players tried to stop Germanys attack but it wasn’t enough as Germany showed their superiority, and punished them by scoring eight goals.

Greece loss was a surprise cause no one was expecting them to loose, I hope they introspect what went wrong and start performing better.

Bump!!! because the Euro 2020 qualifying round is back after more than two months of rest.

Couple of matches look interesting, the rest are pretty bad. The big one will be Germany vs Netherlands, I'll go with a home win, and I think I might parlay Germany with Switzerland (vs Ireland) and Scotland (vs Russia) to win as well.

We also have Serbia vs Portugal, does anyone think it'll be an easy game for Portugal? I do.

I think that there are some interesting games for the upcoming round of Euro 2020.While many think Germany against Netherlands is the big one and I agree with them even Romania vs Spain is a delicate game.Spain I think is already qualified in this group but Romania is in a harsh fight to get the second spot.It will be a good game to watch on Tv.

Germany - Netherlands would be an interesting match to watch.
However, I don't think that Germany is going to lose it. Netherlands has good and talented players but they are not so experienced to handle matches with teams like Germany.

history writes that from 41 matches this eternal rival..  Germany won 15 times, the Netherlands 11 times, and draw 15 times. The Netherlands is certainly very experienced in dealing with Germany, but still, I will definitely continue to support Germany as my favorite team.

[Trofo]

Should be a good game to watch between Germany and Netherlands with plenty goals. That is the hope at least since I just placed a bet on both to score and over 2.5 goals.

Another interesting game for me is Slovakia - Croatia, too bad they are on the same day at exactly the same time so I will have to chose which one to watch. I will probably end up switching channels and missing all the good stuff in both games

We also have Serbia vs Portugal, does anyone think it'll be an easy game for Portugal? I do.

I can't imagine easy win of Portugal. Serbia is powerful team, they have some great players and they will play at home. Portugal won Nations league, but their performance in Qualifiers is not impressive - just 2 points after two matches. If they will lose against Serbia, their situation in this group will become complicated.

I'll be on the look out for Germany vs Netherlands, It's definitely going to be an exciting match. I don't usually find Portugal games interesting, though. Except maybe when theyvare to play biggers teams at knockout stages of any tournament. And often, I tend to wonder how they win and perform so well despite looking so very mediocre with their line ups except for very few players you can regard as top class. Ronaldo indeed, does so well in carrying this team.

[slocker]

With this national teams games must admit we have some interesting matched to follow in this 2 games matches. Must say I will expect to see some good performance from many team. It will be interesting to see besided mentioned match with Germany and Holland, maybe match Serbia Portugal, they play draw last time. And for second day maybe match Montenegro Czech.

Germany vs Netherlands is a classic really, the rivalry is huge even though it has been even more in the past. I cant wait for this match but  I think that Germany will be able to grab the win at home. Personally, I am of course also interested in Finnland vs Greece: Obviously no top nations but its my team and if Greece wants to keep ANY chances, they have to win. Lets see, we just hired a new coach.

Thank you for those data.
I don't think that any German player can be compared to anyone of the Dutch team in terms of experience. Germany outperforms them.

You're probably right, maybe i'm following the Joao Felix hype train (he's been great with Atletico madrid lately, although, he was pretty bad in the Nations League)...Still think Portugal have what it takes to grab the 3 pts next saturday.

Anyways, a lot of games tomorrow, i'm going with a greedy (?) parlay: Switzerland/Israel/Finland @

I doubt Switzerland will have an easy game tonight against Ireland,if you see the statistics Ireland has only conceded one goal in four games it has played.I also know the Switzerland quality but Ireland is also very strong when playing at home.I wish you win your parlay tonight.

[DeathAngel]

Just looking through the qualifier fixtures for tonight; international football is so dull. I’ll probably have a couple of bets during this international break but I find it hard to get excited when you compare it to the real stuff (club football).

I’m surprised to read so many of you’ll are expecting Netherlands to loose, had it been few years ago when Germany’s squad was at it’s peak I would have agreed with you’ll but times have drastically changed. In case people are wondering why I feel Netherland will be victorious, then have a look at their squad which includes de light, Van Dijk, De Jong, and others. With regards to the Portugal match, I am confident they’ll beat Serbia with ease as Ronaldo would like to win one more trophy before he retires at the international level.

Spot on mate! There is no way I'd expect this German side that is undergoing metamorphosis to win against the Netherlands. I guess those who think of the Netherlands loosing are either unaware of how poor the German side has been over the past years, and how improved the Netherlands have been. It's football and anything, but It's not going to be an easy win for Germany even if they are going to win the match.

It's not a self-propelled thing, of course. The German team has lost quality in recent years and Jogi Loew has made many mistakes. As I have already written here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5181267.msg52355933#msg523559339 the defense is worse, midfield is mixed and the offensive has enough power. Early goals for the german team will lead them to win the game

I also a bit disappointed that France scored just 4 goals against Andorra because I had over 4.5 goals bet on this game.
And huge Germany win against Estonia 8:0. I thought they are going to score just 4-5 goals tonight
But in general this Euro qualifiers round was profitable for me and I made some nice money.

just look at the last home games of the Greece team. their performance is quite bad so losing to Armenia is not a surprise.

Armenia is able to cause surprises.Good money were pumped in his football. It is small surprise but very small

Germany-Netherlands and Serbia-Portugal are two most interesting games
Germany  is much better than during last Mundial. Both teams are very offensive so above 2.5 goals is most safe bet
Serbia-Portugal.That  game is wide open by my opinion

[tomahawk9]

I wish you win your parlay tonight.

Thanks, man 

In case people are wondering why I feel Netherland will be victorious, then have a look at their squad which includes de light, Van Dijk, De Jong, and others.

De Light could vey well be a 'one hit wonder', Van Dijk is the best CB in the world right now, and De Jong had good season with Ajax but he's been pretty underwhelming with Barcelona so far (sure, season just started so things could change). What if Netherlands are overhyped right now? They have a good team and a good manager, but somehow people think this is the Netherlands from the 70s.
