⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[snipie]

Russia managed to get the win with this poor 1 - 0 and Wales is so close to getting a victory against Turkey! It seems that Wales is ready to celebrate its qualification to the next EURO 2020 round. Let's see if we have another surprise in today's last game but I doubt it...

Russia got another hope with those important 3 points although the poor result
Wales is very close and until now, with 2 goals ahead, Italy is the first team to secure passing to the next round.
For Turkey, they deserved to get kicked honestly with their poor performance..

Italy is brutally strong. I didn't follow them closely for quite a while and before this game against Switzerland I found out that Italy is unbeaten for 28 games in a row now. Seeing them play this way it doesn't surprise me. Very balanced team with such good strikers.

[NeuroticFish]

It has just occurred to me: was there any discussion on how much CO2 was and will be created in vain just because Baku hosts Euro games?

And more on topic: indeed, Turkey performance was weak. Much weaker than I would have thought. In the first game I thought it was an exception/bad luck (and yeah, Italy), but today... it was sad...

Italy is playing like a champion. I think they have a fairly good chance to play at least Final in this tournament.

I see Italy, France and Belgium as the strongest teams this time. Other teams didn't show much light for championship.

I can't understand what Turkey is playing. Is this the team that defeated Holland and France? A game of the level of Andora or Gibraltar. They don't know what to do with the ball. It is better for Burak to leave the national team so as not to embarrass himself. And this is one of the best strikers in Lille.

I wasn't expecting anything more than a loss for Turkey in the game, I didn't place any high expectations for them in this tournament, so I'm so far not surprised by the performance.

Wales are good! Even though my bet lost, because I bet on a Turkey win... The Welsh showed great football! I really liked this match...

I still have Italy left, hope they'll help me get my loss back!

Italy should win easy here, but that would leave Switzerland in very bad spot.

Despite Bale missing a penalty for Wales
Bale still a completely different from his version with the clubs.
Turkey, which nominated it to be the dark horse after its excellent career in the qualifiers, seems without personality and without a clear plan and the pressure of the tournament was much greater than it.
Wales snatches the spotlight for the second championship in a row !

I expected a better game from Turkey with Italy, but something went wrong. Let's see how the situation with Wales will be today. Wales plays defensive football very often and has few goals per match. For Italy, I also do not have much confidence in victory, Switzerland can take points away today, I may be wrong, but I think so.

And Turkey lost in the end! I expected some surprises! For me two surprises already, Russia and Wales! Crazy how things turn in the end!

Italy is brutally strong. I didn't follow them closely for quite a while and before this game against Switzerland I found out that Italy is unbeaten for 28 games in a row now. Seeing them play this way it doesn't surprise me. Very balanced team with such good strikers.

They are good... I waited for that goal before I placed my bet! Lower odds but almost a safe bet on Italy after their first goal! Now they have two goals advantage and I doubt that Switzerland can do anything about that... my x1.21 on Italy is good!

I guess tomorrow we will have an easy day... Denmark vs Belgium can be tricky to bet on, but Ukraine and Netherland are almost sure to win! I will place some bets on them, but what to do with Denmark vs Belgium is a tricky question?!

[Lafu]

Congrats to Russia for there lucky win against Finland , just saw the review and it was a hard and mm decision to not give the goal for Finland.
I am really disappointed from Turkey a bit as i thought they will making more out from the game against Wales.
Already 3 goals for Italy and i was expecting them to win there second match in the Group.

[LTU_btc]

Italy is probably best looking team in EURO so far. 6 goals in just 2 games against not that weak opponents. 31:0 in last 10 games. Their defense is like Great Wall. Locatelli is man of the game. 1st his goal was amazing. Great pass to Berardi and then amazing 80m sprint and great goal.

[BITCOIN4X]

Italy is playing like a champion. I think they have a fairly good chance to play at least Final in this tournament.

I see Italy, France and Belgium as the strongest teams this time. Other teams didn't show much light for championship.

What about Portugal, Germany, Spain, Croatia and England? I think they are also pretty good and should not be taken lightly. England will probably try their best to reach the final and I'm sure they have good enough players to do so in this Euro 2020 competition. People keep saying that France is one of the contenders to reach the final, but they have only won 1 match. We'll see how they react in the next game.

FT Italy vs Switzerland 3 - 0

[coinlocket$]

Strong performance for Italy today too, I see Italy as a tier 2 team, the only tier 1 team is France for me.

About Locatelli, it will be a race to get him from Sassuolo.

Italy are now one of my favorite team in this 2021 Euro, I never expected them to play so exciting, scoring and keeping their opponent from scoring them, so far in the competition, I think the tournament is among France, Portugal, italy, many may expect England in the list but I do not think they would win it, struggling for a win in their first match.
France has only one a match, but their opponent were Germany and in a group where Portugal resides I think they are good to be on the contenders to win.

I didn't like Spain and Germany in first matches. Portugal and Croatia are not top quality teams. England is being England, don't expect too much from them.

[Slow death]

I'm really surprised by some things like:

- in group A, wales is in second place, I didn't expect that

-  in group B, russia is in second place. Unbelievable

- in group E Slovakia is in first place. Unbelievable

These are things I didn't expect

Italy really played very well, though it is not my favourite I liked their gameplay and I expect them to play like this with all their future games.
France and Portugal are some of the strong opponents with whom I would like to see them play. I am not judging France on yesterday's gameplay but the way they were playing with such a good team game made me believe firmly they are a good contender in Euro 2020.
Germany had a little disappointing match the other day because we all know how strong they are but this is football and past results cannot judge future gameplays.

[Ratash]

Italy playing well again today, they are creating more chances than we are used from 'classic' Italian teams

If they hold on to their lead, they will be the first team to secure placement into the knockout round.

It will be important to see what happened with Chiellini and will he be able to play, it did not seem that serious. They will have Verratti for the knockouts as well.

Yes a strong performance and another easy win for them same as the first game and a solid defence i think due to the experience of chielini and bonuci and the promising thing its they are dominating completely their matches against respected teams and i think they will have a  say in this euro.

FT Italy vs Switzerland 3 - 0

Once again Italy proved to be one of the main candidates to win the Euro 2020.

Switzerland simply did not know what to do to avoid defeat. Despite some attempts to do something more, it was noted that players could not do more. I thought the Swiss goalkeeper played a very bad game. In the 3 goals, he barely moved.

Italy just didn't score more goals because they didn't force it. He let the game run and made good use of the opportunities he was getting.

I'm happy enough with my 2 picks winning today, Russia and Italy. Just saw the highlights
of the Italy match, really good performance and looking hungry for the win. They are now
the first team into the knockout stage.

The other teams need to be afraid of Italy!

[acquafredda]

I am Italian so of course my comment can be definitely biased but...
...If Italy is the one admired against Turkey last Friday, then Switzerland should not be feared even though it would be better not to underestimate the Swiss which represent anyway the most accredited rival for first place in the round. The Azzurri are favored in a match that will be, for the most part, balanced and with a total of less than three goals. Petkovic's men might not even get to score one.

3-0! Italy dominated the game.
After the success against Turkey, Italy confirms itself and beats Switzerland 3-0, qualifying for the round of 16 of the Euro 2020 with one match in advance. In the first half, Locatelli scored a great goal at 24'. In the second half Locatelli scored again another great goal with a precise shot from afar. Immobile closes the match at 89'. For Switzerland, the challenge against Turkey is decisive. The Azzurri will play for the first place against Wales during the last game.

Italy really looks good, but not the fact that it will be the same against the background of really strong teams.
As for your bet on the Russian team, you were very lucky when you made it, in fact, the Russian team is very unstable and it could easily draw or even lose the match.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Italy had another superb game this time against Switzerland. They just dominated the game from the start to the end and became victorious, 3-0. Locatelli's second goal was really great that the goalkeeper had nothing to do about it. As long as Italy continue to play like this, they have a lot of chance to play in the final also.
