⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[EdenHazard]

The odds payout on Austria to win the match against North Macedonia in full time is quite attractive, I think Austria will surely want to qualify for the main tournament as early as possible, and since Austria is playing this match against North Macedonia in front of their home fans, I believe Austria will be able to beat North Macedonia relatively easily today.

They should win relatively easy but I don't like the games where favorite doesn't need the win. Austria needs to get 1 point from next two games to qualify. They can even qualify if they lose both games and other results go in a right way. And next game is Latvia away so lots of room for calculations and poor performances.

That's how the odds built! Based on the complicated statistics and confusing us in the end   .

Just don't forget north Macedonia successfully eat Slovenia last month surprisingly, will they makes another surprising result against Austria tonight? If they managed to win over Austria ( I know this is unlikely happened )... Austria and the other two teams Israel & Slovenia would still have the same chance to get the last ticket to EURO 2020! This could be an interesting scenario as the those three Austria, Israel and Slovenia have the same 11 point .
It's a mission impossible but hey thi is football right everything could changed 180° .

Dani Olmo scored on his Spain debut yesterday. Keep an eye on that one, he plays for Dinamo Zagreb in Croatian league.
Dinamo produced some true football superstars and Olmo is probably next, the fact that he received the call to the national team while playing in such a weak league is a sign of his quality.

Yes he is, and this is the right way to make selections for the national team
Not a common practice in our country, unfortunately... we have seen generations of players who never got their chance to play for the national team, guided by the corrupted football federation (CFF) - cause “C” is not for Croatia, but for Corruption

Olmo has been invited to play for Spain because of his brilliant matches for Spain's young national team and excellent Champions League matches, and not because of matches in the Croatian Football League.
He is the next big star to come from the Croatian league and it is a pity that he chose to play for Spain and not for Croatia.
Barcelona already long time have a problem with their young players who don't develop properly and don't get a chance to play for the first team.
Olmo made very good decision to move to Dinamo a few years ago because he developed his talent and career unlike the young players who remained in Barcelona.
Do you know any young player in Barcelona who came from their young team recently?

[big_daddy]

Hmm
I really do not remember a recently promoted young Barca player in the A team
My opinion is that he will be sold in the winter transfermarkt

It's not that bad. You need to see corruption levels in Romania and Bulgaria.
But they ruined the beautiful Krk with EU money. I remember what was ~8-10 years ago and what is now. You can see 10+ motors/cars on every pedestrian-only area in an hour.

Anyway, I won most of my previous qualification bets and today I have the courage to go after big odds again

Croatia vs Slovakia

Both teams to score & O2,5 @ 2.65

THIS IS BORING a lot of matches 3-0 4-0 5-0 6-0 and they are not even playing at 100% of their possibilities.

I sort of agree with you here, although I have to say I did bag a few good wins with Netherlands, and I still remember correctly backing Turkey against France.

But yeah, for a change last night I went for Italy (as I said 2/1 was hard to ignore) and then parlayed other favourites and they all won comfortably for me to get 11/1, so I have been booking solid bets, just not feeling it for the underdogs.

I'm of course sad Georgia couldn't get a win (followed them in Nations League) but seeing them play the past few games even I have to admit they don't deserve to go through.

My boring parlay tonight is Scotland and Poland. Robertson and McTominay pulling out seemed to bump up the odds (2.35 for me). Parlay is 58/10, so I guess bad news makes for not so shitty odds. Scotland struggled with Cyprus though, plenty of tackles and yellows flew in... thought the home team were going to squeeze one in, so I suppose the bookies kinda almost knew what they were doing.

Lewandowski better be on fire, be a shame to lose my parlay on Poland after the tough game at Cyprus.

Made quite a profit from Yesterday's matches. Most of the results turned out exactly how one would have expected.

I, on the contrary don't believe Austria would win with relative ease. It's going to be quite a tough game for Austria, imo. I find Wales to win against Azerbaijan more probable than Austria to win against North Macedonia.

Live long Slavorum & Balkan hahaha
Can understand it only if you live here, and grown up here...

My bet for today is a goal of Macedonia, and your call for both to score is a real one
Will think about it if will ad that one too

[tomahawk9]

Well, Cyprus lost (they were the better team, they simply lacked firepower in front of the goal), I guess I'll wait for the games tomorrow to give it a shot with yet another acca. I'm checking some odds and I think I'll definitely go with some underdogs to win (:

If there's something i've learned over the last two days in the euro qualifiers is that the favorites always win, seriously though, no upsets so far  I hope that changes tomorrow.

Exactly the half time win odds are often the best always offered @ 1.35 - 1.40 , and Some tempting 2.00+ odds such as Italy and Scotland hitting too, and talking about 2.00 odds I went with Belgium today as well and together with Wales on a parlay.

For Azerbaijan v Wales I am more interested in both teams to score because I watched Azerbaijan always score when playing at home
The same thing in the Russia v Belgium match, right now both teams conceded 2 goals and I'm waiting for that moment in the second half.

[notblox1]

Austria plays with North Macedonia at home field,
and it will secure second place in group with win here. Lot of first players are missing for NM because of injuries and cards.
I expect to see a lot of goals here and easy Austrian win.

Yes, 4 goals at least in this match. Austria's last 2 home matches always win with big scores 6-0 and 3-1 today they have the opportunity to repeat it again
In the first leg Austria defeated North Macedonia 4-1 so today should be able to win with more scores because of the factor of playing at home.

[notblox1]

One more interesting game is Croatia vs Slovakia.
Home team is clear favorite and better team here, but because cards and injuries,
this players wont play for Croatia: Domagoj Vida i Dejan Lovren, Ivan Rakitic, Andrej Kramaric i Matej Mitrovic.
Home win odds are nice, but I don't expect many goals here.

Do you know any young player in Barcelona who came from their young team recently?

Last one that is actually a player they can use was Sergi Roberto. Currently Barcelona team is last in their Champions league junior group.

Well here is a story: I'm one proud Serb but my national football squad sucks. Team full of experienced and talented players but definitely without team chemistry. Those idiots use qualifications to come back to Belgrade and go out every night (clubbing, parties, sex and I won't say drugs). So with billions in their pockets/banks accounts they are not willing to give 100% effort and just waste time and money of their compatriots. So after everything I said here is a bet suggestion for tomorrow:

Serbia vs Ukraine  outcome: draw or Ukraine  odd 1.80

Yes some might think Ukraine don't have to win this one but that squad is way better than Serbia at the moment.

[big_daddy]

I have a parlay with some crazy picks and the first 3 has passed, one of them was San Marino to score 

Now I’m waiting a goal of Slovakia, Macedonia & Belarus

Wish me luck 

[notblox1]

Slovakia scored 1st goal and leading 0-1 now, but Croatia had more chances and I expect them to score goal.
Interesting game for sure, and second half is promising even more.

[big_daddy]

Yup
It’s good that the weather has calm down and is not even close the forecast
Croatia will be even more dangerous in the second half, now I’m making a live bet on Cro

Btw, for the parlay I was writig about previously, I need a goal from Belarus and Macedonia

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

F**K yeah!
I got some money too for Croatia too. I know they are better team in this match and should win it or at least a draw. The market I had was draw no bet. Let's see what we get from here.

Was it just a goal, I mean what market you had there?

[Rikafip]

Kudos @big_daddy on that live bet,  you played that beautifully!

I must admit that i was worried after first 45 minutes, it didn't look good, i had a bad feeling and Slovakia is dangerous team, but now with 3-1 it looks much better.
