⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[Jackl87]

Another superb performance by Italy showing their amazing gameplay and amazing tactics by their manager. 3:0 again in this match and are in the next round. Turkey is probobly out of the tournament need a miracle to go through to the next round. They lost to wales just 0:2 could have been more. But could have even been a draw if Burak scored that goal in the second half

Italy looked really strong so far in the two games that they have played. I mean Turkey was considered one of the secret favourites before the tournament and they easily beat them with 3-0 and yesterday they also completely dominated a swiss team that has also very good players and are usually very strong but yesterday against italy they didn't have a chance. Turkey also lost again yesterday against wales and and is now almost certainly out of the tournament which is surprising to me but they are also in a pretty balanced group of where every team except from italy, is pretty much on the same level.

You write nonsense. And besides, imagine that corporations have won and after that the players are forced to advertise harmful drinks (do you have doubts about Coca-Cola?) and hide their opinion - will you like this world? I don’t. In addition, Ronaldo's act is not as serious as you are trying to show, no one was hurt by this.

Nah, actually you are. Nobody is telling him he has to drink it but if Coca Cola is a sponsor of the competition, a player playing under that competition cannot decide what product is good enough and what isn't.
He can normally drink water, but removing the bottles is a breach of contract between Uefa and Coca Cola and is harmful for the sponsor.

I do agree that sponsors should not be treated as holy cows, but contracts should be respected. Universally, not just in football.

Has Eriksen been confirmed for the game against Belgium? Actually, even if Eriksen played today, it means nothing to Belgium. Belgium Has Everything Right Now (Same Condition When France Won The World Cup)

Confirmed? He will probably never play football again. He's lucky he's alive, I don't think there's 1 doctor in the world that will ever give him a licence for playing football after what happened - and he needs one according to rules and legislations.

He will probably have to stay in bed for 10 days before they allow him to walk, let alone play football.

What? I Don't Follow The News About Eriksen, What Disease Does He Have That He Can't Seem To Play Football Anymore?

I Think He Just Fainted That Time

With Netherlands and Austria in Group C, I guess Ukraine could at least try to secure a spot to finish as the 3rd placed team in this group and it is a good chance for Ukraine to earn some points from the hands of North Macedonia today as I think North Macedonia are not a very strong team and Ukraine should be able to outplay them and claim all 3 points today.

When Daley Blind also had heart problems and got a ICD (Hart starter) and now he still plays at the highest level.

I heardt this morning that Eriksen gets a ICD also so maybe we will see him back at the field but for sure it will take some time.

The euro match has entered the second match of the week and with the victory of the Italian national team which beat the Swiss national team and Italian became the first team to qualify for the round of 16 of Euro 2020/21 and a number of players have also managed to register their names as the top scorers of this Euro 2020/21 , from the existing names, the Italian national team players dominate the temporary top scorer list in this second week.

Ukraine is far better than Austria, and they have their respective match to prove that
I did not expected from Austria to win over North Macedonia, but Macedonians were bad on the start, and did not show anything on that match, so lost is fair, but Austria has much harder matches with Netherlands and Ukraine to secure their spot within top two (I do not expect that from them)

nevertheless, so far, I am miserable in prognosis, so all in all, anything could happen, it is a strange Euro competition

The player is a human being and he can decide which product suits him best. Ronaldno thought it was water. Probably those who offend such an opinion perfectly understand the "usefulness" of Coca-Cola, therefore they try to suppress any discussion of this topic and even the expression of their opinion 


From today's matches, I can see that bookmakers underestimate Belgium again, the odds at the moment are as follows:
Denmark - Belgium 4.25 - 3.3 - 1.95
In my opinion, the victory of Belgium is as obvious as in the match with Russia.

Turkey also lost again yesterday against wales and and is now almost certainly out of the tournament which is surprising to me but they are also in a pretty balanced group of where every team except from italy, is pretty much on the same level.

Italy look to be a strong team in 2 matches they have played but Immobile need to score more goals from opportunities he has. He missed a few great opportunities in 2 matches. In big and direct matches, Italy will not have abundant chances to score.

The good thing I see from Italy is they are not depended on any single player and Donnaruma deserves to be ranked in the top goalkeepers. He will have great career in Italy team like Gigi Buffon.

When Daley Blind also had heart problems and got a ICD (Hart starter) and now he still plays at the highest level.

I heardt this morning that Eriksen gets a ICD also so maybe we will see him back at the field but for sure it will take some time.

It is too soon to say about Eriksen and his career. It is time for him and his family to take a rest and recover his health. It is good for him if he can continue his career for a few more seasons but it is not too bad if he has to end it after the Euro.

The most valuable thing is his life, not his career.

[slaman29]

Worst team in that group, maybe but Finland already have 3 points. If they get one point from the match with Russia, they will increase their chance in the group.

Denmark have better quality than Finland but they lost that match and will have only 2 matches to save themselves. Another loss or even a draw will put Denmark in a bad situation before the final day of this group.

Russia is stronger than Finland but they are not good and strong enough to destroy Finland too easily. Russia is leading now with only one goal.

You're right of course but I still think that win was their luck. Playing against a team who was clearly on the brink of not playing after their player went to hospital. The penalty was so weak it just summed up their game. I think they will play their best of course motivated by the health of Eriksen but Belgium should be too good for them.

Belgium 1.97

I think the odds for Belgium are about right.

What? I Don't Follow The News About Eriksen, What Disease Does He Have That He Can't Seem To Play Football Anymore?

I Think He Just Fainted That Time

Well, his heart stopped, and he stopped breathing. He was technically dead, but they managed to resuscitate him quickly. It was a lot more than a faint.
As for whether he'll play again, we don't know until the medical investigations are complete. Even then, there is the question of whether the relevant authorities would let him play, when there is obviously the chance of this happening again with a much worse outcome. A UK doctor has said that if Eriksen were still contracted in England, then they wouldn't let him play again. It's entirely understandable.

Let's just hope he recovers fully and this doesn't happen again.

[cryptofrka]

Are De Bruyne and Witsel playing today? Odds on Belgium are really attractive but I'll wait for the lineup before deciding what to bet on. Handicap win has really good odds, but if Belgium is without both De Bruyne and Witsel, I'd be tempted to go for a draw.

I went for a draw in the first game today as well, Ukraine was good against Netherlands but Netherlands is an attacking-oriented team. Macedonia will defend deep, I'm really not that convinced Ukraine can create much against that kind of defence and the odds are tempting.

[dwminer1]

Today I am betting on the victories of the teams from Ukraine, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Belgians seem to have the easiest task. I do not think that after the events of the first match, the Danes will be able to a fight with the Belgian national team. The Netherlands, which hosts Austria today, showed a very good side in the first leg and should secure a promotion today. Ukraine, despite the defeat with the Netherlands, showed really good football and I believe that today they will win with the team from North Macedonia.

[Karartma1]

Belgium should have no problem in winning the second match of the round. I agree that Russia was too inconsistent as an opponent to be taken as a term of comparison: I wouldn't underestimate and I'd actually watch out for the motivation of the Danes, who will also want to do well for their teammate Eriksen. It's going to be a hard-fought match, in which there will probably be at least three goals.
Belgium wins, basically, but that's not gonna be easy.

Belgium and the Netherlands are also my favorites in there games and they should be have no problems as they playing well together.
Dont know on the Ukraine match against North Macedonia , North Macedonia was surprising and they playing a fresh style.
Maybe we see some surprise in this match , i havnt placed a bet on tihs game .

Denmark is not an easy opponent. They lost the first match against Finland only because of Eriksen's accident. The Danish players were emotionally broken by the accident. So they could not perform well for the rest time of the match. However, Denmark will put up a tough resistance against Belgium. Belgium is a strong team. I think the match will be drawn 2-2.

I also bet on all three teams and it looks like we are only betting on the top team, but whatever the reason I just believe that all three teams will have a higher chance of winning. Ukraine and North Macedonia lost their first match and now they have a match, although so far for the first 20 minutes the score is still 0-0 but I believe Ukraine will still be the best against North Macedonia and that way I believe Ukraine will definitely win.

Don't care much if Witsel is playing, I feel like they can replace him without much problems. Even without De Bruyne, Belgium should have more than enough fire power to win against Denmark without Eriksen. I am not expecting him to start the match even if he is ready. Belgium can allow themselves to play it safe and keep him for knockout rounds. Maybe just give him last 20 minutes to feel the pitch and atmosphere.
