⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[AndySt]

I say this in relation to Spain, because of the performance it has been showing, not just in the Euro 2020 games.
Of course Spain are a great team, there is no doubt about that. The problem is that I don't see Spain playing as a team. They are very unbalanced, and that is why they have had difficulties. Now, of course, you have all the conditions to win Italy. But I see that it will be difficult for these to achieve this victory. Now, Italy won't have an easy game, nor can it go with the idea that it's won, because it isn't. They will have to work hard to get the win.

I think that Italy will have to try very hard to beat Spain. The Spanish national team can be called great historically, but it is difficult to say this about the current team. Although the current Spanish national team may not be as rich in star names as it was recently, but in principle this composition quite allows you to win a single match and get to the final. Of course, the game will show everything, but it is clearly noticeable that the victories of the Italian national team at this tournament are getting harder with each match, so I think this "tradition" will continue in this match. It will be interesting to see if the Italian national team will allow Spain to take the ball for themselves, as Spain did in previous matches.

If Denmark can somehow win against England, I think Denmark will be the champions this season. Because, fate is cooperating with them fatally. The other players are playing great despite their main striker Eriksen not being on the team. England is a very strong team. Those who did not concede a goal. If Denmark can beat England, they can beat either team in the final.

anything is possible, but seeing the track record of England, Denmark will be very difficult to win from England.

Germany was defeated by England with a score that I think was a landslide (2 - 0) and also beat Ukraine with a very landslide score (0 - 4).

Everything will be clear in the field later

Let's see if your feeling comes true, but I am sure that England will defeat Denmark convincingly.
I guess England 2 vs 0 Denmark, England will qualify to the final stage of UEFA EURO 2020.

My gues 2-1 for England.
We seem to agree, Spain vs England in the Euro final. England clearly has the advantage as hosts, in the course of the group stage they have never lost, their game is getting better. Just look at their goal productivity until the last game, it's increasing. In addition, their mentality is also getting better.

You cannot see Spain capability because you are probably an Italy fan. 
Trust me, Spain isn't a small team. They have a chance to reach the final stage.
I am not surprised if Spain can defeat Italy even you cannot see their capability. Also, it is a football game, a weaker team can defeat a stronger team.

As for Spain, it was difficult for them to form in the group stage but because I like their game, I think Spain will dominate the game and win it.

I like Spain in the Iniesta era, where have Xavi Hernandez, Xabi Alonso, and lots of support from another talented players, I will continue to support the team if they are still on there. but now, Only Italy looks established for me, a good coach and established player also. Of course, I will continue to support Italy until the final.

Goldman Sachs uses their own prediction model on the Euro 2020 hehehe. This might be the first of a new movement where the banking industry begins going to sports betting to siphon money from a different type of gambler hehehe.



Football’s Probably Coming Home to England, Goldman Model Predicts

The U.S. bank predicts that England will win its first major soccer tournament in 55 years, after its original pick, Belgium, was eliminated from the Euro 2020 tournament on Friday.

Goldman used data on about 6,000 matches played since 1980 to devise its probability model, which takes into account factors such as current team strength, along with recent performances, home advantage effects, and whether a country is a “tournament team” that outperforms during competitions.

I would think twice before placing a bet in favor of Denmark. Because out of the four teams in the semis, England seems to be in exceptional form. It is just unbelievable that they haven't conceded a goal so far (perhaps that is going to remain as such till the end of this tournament). My only question is who will be the opponents of England in the final. Is it going to be Spain, or is it going to be Italy? The situation here is directly opposite to what we have with England vs Denmark. The Italy vs Spain is a battle between two equal sides. It is extremely hard to predict who is going to qualify for the final.

Germany defeated themself in the match against England , but the last game from England was very good.
Realy hope that we will see a very good game between Denmark and England and Denmark has the power to beat the England.
If i will make a bet on this match it will be a 2 : 1 for Denmark.

The Italy vs Spain is a battle between two equal sides. It is extremely hard to predict who is going to qualify for the final.

Italy will make it i guess and maybe will win the EM also.

The big day is here finally,it is Italy vs Spain tonight.This is a game which can be considered a premature final game as this could have been the final.No real favorite here as both teams are strong enough and both have enough experience to come out as winners from this game.I will make sure to watch this game drinking some beer with friends tonight as one thing is sure,it will be a lot of fun for all soccer fans.

[AakZaki]

I think in the semifinals Italy will win in injury time or in a penalty shootout. With England I'm still a little unsure, except against Ukraine they have not really shown much in my opinion, Denmark will be difficult and I have also bet on a bet on victory Denmark, let's see. Denmark is for me the surprise team of this European Championship.

Denmark did indeed perform quite well than he only lost to Belgium in the group phase. But on the way he has never met a big country, if indeed Denmark can win later it means they are a good country in the Euros this time. But you need to remember England are the hosts, they are mentally superior playing in front of their fans. Especially in the last game the England striker began to find his identity and made 2 goals. Denmark should be wary, in the end I favor England more at this time. Maybe England vs Spain in the final.

In fact, it's not only fun for football fans, because at least for those who are used to betting, the match between the two big countries will always be a high enthusiasm. But even though there is no definite favourite, I personally still believe Italy will win the game whether it happens in normal time, extra time, or maybe on penalties. As I have said before, Spain with young players made me unsure in the first 2 matches but honestly, I am surprised by the results Spain have achieved after the first 2 matches so far.

The timing is not convenient for me, as I am residing in India. The match is scheduled at 12:30am - 2:30am. I can't skip such an exciting match, but I have a very important meeting tomorrow at 9 am. Already my work schedule is getting affected because of this tournament. 

Jokes apart, I will go with Italy for today's match. Spain is the same team which conceded two draws in their two opening matches. In none of their matches, they looked 100% convincing. Italy on the other hand, managed to beat the no.1 side in the world as per FIFA rankings (Belgium). The Italian squad of 2021 can't be compared to the squad from 2006. But they have come a long way from 2018, when they failed to qualify for the world cup.

Today we have the first game of the semifinals:

Italy vs Spain
This is perhaps the most anticipated game of this phase.
I believe it will be a very balanced game with few goals. I see Italy with more capacity to win, phase to the performance of Spain. But of course Spain have great players who can really make a difference. If the game goes to extra time, I wouldn't be surprised.

big day for Italy.. let's beat Spain in today's match...

Italy have only beaten Spain twice in their last 14 meetings in all competitions (D7 L5), a 2-1 friendly win in 2011 and most recently, a 2-0 victory at euro 2016 in the round of 16

Spain today is not as tough as it was a few years ago, this is a great opportunity for Italy to change its history vs Spain.

Wanna bet for Italy's win. Because I like the gameplay of Italy in the last few matches. They play very fast and can counterattack. A quick counterattack is very necessary to win against a strong team. Italian players are more experienced compared to Spanish players. However, the Spanish squad is experienced enough. They are capable of overcoming any obstacle. We will actually be able to enjoy a perfect semi-final match. Luis Enrique may be developing a new match strategy to win today's match  .

Many bets for stronger teams got rekted so far. I hope your bet will help you win because I love Italy as well. It is a big match for both Italy and Spain. Should know that it will be the four big matches between them in the latest four Euros 2008 2012 2016 and 2021.

Spain have 2 wins in 3 matches. How about today match? 1 win for Italy and equalizer the net result.

[kassex]

To be honest, I don't like Spain's game with their many passes without moving forward. In the performance of Xavi and Iniesta, this game looked perfect, but now it kills all interest in the game. Therefore, I will be rooting for Italy. Let Italy and Denmark play in the final. There will be more movement, emotion and drama.

[slaman29]

Dolberg to win Golden Boot with 4 goals but England still passing through with scorers other than Sterling and Kane? What do you think the odds are for that?

Still hoping my Spain win but I'm well aware the odds and form are against us tonight. Curious to see if we stick with Morata but as long as it's an exciting game with loads of goals right? Staying up to watch this:)

[Karartma1]

From a pure betting and gambling perspective Italy Spain is a great match: there are so many stats and data to look for before placing this bet that one could go nuts.
A few hints:
ITA: The Azzurri are unbeaten in their last 32 international matches (27 wins, five draws)
ESP: La Roja leads the tournament with 12 goals
The Italians have scored an average of 2.67 goals over their last 12 games and they could be scoring at least twice over regular times.
Spain's best attack could do the rest so a great bet for this game is over 2.5 goals.

Thank you for this interesting information.
I think today we will watch a very uncertain and exciting semi-final match in which small details will decide the winner.
Somehow I have a feeling that Italy could win and that they have the advantage, primarily because of the excellent defense, but Spain also has its qualities.
It seems to me that bookmakers also agree with my assessment and mostly give a chance of 55% for the victory of Italy and 45% for the victory of Spain, at least according to what I follow on sports portals.
Whoever scores the first goal will have a big advantage.

Italy are on a 31 match winning streak, they havent been beaten since 2018 to
Portugal in the Nations League then

Spain havent convinced in this tournament, to be taken to extra time and penalties
by Croatia and Switzerland is not something either Italy, or England have allowed.
They have a very proactive attacking type of play, Spain will be just passing in front of Italy.

My money is on Italy to win tonight!
