⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[1982dre]

Well the Netherlands was very bad those last 2 mathes. Gladly the got the 6 points but watching the games was a waste of time.

It doesn't matter even though only 1 goal they still get 3 points also their game is better than against Northern Ireland at home they almost lost
We can see the real Netherlands  game when against strong teams, it's different if they are against teams of lower quality

Correct, against better teams they play a lot better. See the last matches against Germany.

Today Ukraine - Portugal game looks most interesting. Ukraine have almost guaranteed spot in Euro 2020, Portugal also have very good chances to reach it - they are in front of Serbia just by 4 points with 3 matches remaining. But last 2 games for Portugal will be against easy opponents - Luxembourg and Lithuania. So, I think we can say that tonight they will fight for first place in group. What are your thoughts about this game?

Portugal is second but they have realistic chances of finishing first IF they win tonight. It won't be easy though, because Ukraine will be highly motivated too. A point will likely guarantee them first place and Draw is my prediction. 1-1
Another good bet is England-1.5 @1.70 against Bulgaria. England needs 3 points, otherwise they could finish second after the Czechs. Be aware there is a chance that England team refuses to play if there will be racist attacks on their black players from the Bulgarian fans. Match would result in 3-0 win for Bulgaria if England abandons the match but bookmakers will likely void all bets in this case. Am I right?

It's indeed going to be a tough game, both teams have remained unbeaten in the group, although Ukraine have a better defensive record of conceding  just a goal so far in the qualifying stages, Only Belgium have a similar defensive record.

That said I'll still be going with Portugal to win the match, though.

Might have a small parlay tonight -

Portugal, England & France to win.

[buwaytress]

Totally clueless about the games tonight. The favourites don't really have good odds worth siding on, although I would probably pad any parlay with an England win -- surely they will play with better personnel after that awful midfield showing (same problem as before, playing 2 like-talented guys is just messing it up).

It's probably a sucker's bet too, but seeing as France are without Mbappe, and with Griezmann probably a little out of sorts now that he's trying too hard to fit in, maybe the Turks can do a double. France have a crazy record at home though...

[Lucas*]

In A group England will face Bulgaria away, well it will be an easy game for England and I bet that they will win with 2+ goals.
In group H it will be an exciting game when France face Turkey for the 1st place in group. I don't think that there are many goals in this game so I will bet under 3 goals.
In group B Ukraine will play against Portugal, it will be a difficult game for both teams especially for Portugal who want to steal 1st place in group from Ukraine and this game will be the key. I bet for a draw or Portugal will win.

The mighty Turks visiting France is also a very interesting match up, knowing the former beat France already in their home turf. Now it is France turn to defend its home. Turkey only lost once at Iceland 2-1. I want to bet on the French but I am not so sure if 1.39 is worth it. Looking at the players one by one, the French should win this. France only lost once too but it was against Turkey. Repeat or revenge?

The mighty French you mean, right? France team is a monster machine at all positions,,, and even the 2nd and 3rd strings are all great players at their respective clubs but on the other hand not even half of Turk team would be able to say the same thing about them.

French won't lose at home, they will at worst draw.

I already have my bet on Les Bleus. France will never let this Turkish visitors to reign supreme in Stade de France. But missing Pogba and Mbappe is making this game a little exciting and tougher to look. And with the highly regarded Turkish defense, we will see how Les Bleus will attempt to break it. I think this will be a 2-1 or 2-0 for France.

My prime match for tonight is

Bulgaria vs England.

At 1.25 is a pure gift or England. Bulgaria is at the same level as San Marino at this moment.
But there is a twist - England threatened to leave pitch over racist abuse. In this case, the winner will be Bulgaria. Different bookies have different rules in this situation, so be careful. But it' @15 shot here!

For England and France, yes. But for Portugal I doubt it. Look at the last game the two teams, Portugal played at home  and unable to score a goal
and today Portugal playing away is certainly increasingly difficult to score. And so far, Ukraine is undefeated.

Racism ruins the beauty of football. I hope this match can run until the end of the game because I want to see the English game after they lost yesterday against Czech Republic. the English players must have the ambition to play better than the previous game. I made a bet over 2.5 goals for this match.

I guess it will be an intressting match between Portugal and Ukraine .
Portugal is the favorite for sure but its realy hard for them because Ukraine is good at home too and have a lot Fans that pushing there team.
My bet is for Portugal .

England should be doing it and win in Bulgaria .

And for all the other matches you cant say anything realy who wins.

Ukraine vs Portugal, 2 big teams with top 1&2 in the group and both teams also never lose so far. Their first meet was draw 0-0, so i believe this match will not have many goals but i hope it will not happen and hoping for many goals happen to this match.

I think you might have to do a review on the Portugal match,  they drew with Ukraine at home,  now they are playing away at Ukraine home,  meanwhile Ukraine are topping the group, with  5 clear points,  I won't be surprise if Ukraine draw or win Portugal

In this Euro 2020 Qualification the Ukraine performance is very impressive. they have never been beaten and have only conceded one goal. I'm not sure Portugal will score a goal in the match later. I will bet for this match for Over 1.5 goal

Looking good. I am most confident on Bulgaria vs England and Iceland vs Andorra. England and Iceland should be raining attacks on their two weaker opponents.

I am leaning towards Ukraine to pull an upset at home. Although this is a very tough game for both countries. A draw is very possible.

I got France over Turkey. 

[rocku12345]

Why not to take a bet "Ronaldo will not score". Indeed, the Ukrainian defense will monitor CR700 near its football goal like no one other.

I hope that Bulgaria will try to play an offside trap game. So there is a good choice to bet on individual total of English players offsides.

What are your thoughts about this game?

In games like this one and especially when I see the national team of Portugal playing, there is a good bet which is always a value for money bet.
I am going to score Ronaldo to score 2 goals in the match. In the most games he scores at least one goal for his national team and I expect him to do the same tonight as well.

[Prime Gold]

Why not to take a bet "Ronaldo will not score". Indeed, the Ukrainian defense will monitor CR700 near its football goal like no one other.

What if he takes a penalty kick or free kick? In my opinion this bet remains risky, on the contrary I am more interested  Ronaldo to score
Of all the European qualifying matches today I am more interested in this match Ukraine vs Portugal. Hope Portugal win and PEPE don't be naughty because this player always makes trouble.

That's a really good tip actually, BigBoy, but I'm very certain my bookies will just call this match abandoned, and refund all bets. I'm not sure what the UEFA ruling on what would technically be a walkover/forfeit (in which case 3-0 victory is automatically awarded should be the norm).

Anyone knows a bookie accepting forfeits as a win and I'll happily punt a fiver on them;)

But in all seriousness. England will win this, they'll stop faffing about and put Trent and Gomez back in the squad and our defence will at least be stable.
