EURO U21 Championship - Free Prediction Pool & Discussion

[Trofo]

Ya, was kinda unsatisfactory despite the win. I am very looking forward to Serbia vs Austria today, especially Serbia is very strong, wouldnt surprise me if they win the group

Seriously doubt it. Serbia is strong but Germany is out of charts. They have won the competition 2 years ago and they still have 4-5 players from that team with 2 more years of experience and training under their belt.

For those of you who joined the pool the goal is to predict correct scores not collect rubber duckies   Couldn't resist after seeing all of you on 0 points today.

Edit. Serbia loosing against Austria and I am happy to report that I have found perfect streaming for this tournament. If you need it, try uefa.tv you need to register (only Email) and it is free. Working perfectly in HD quality for me. Should have all the games.

Unbelievable, wouldnt have expected this. Glad that I didnt wag any money at those games so far, would ve lost almost every game What are your thoughts about the Austrian team? Have to admit that they really suprise me, very strong gameplay so far.

I expected the Serbia to better side, but they were totally outplayed today, I didn't expect such a bad performance from them, They couldn't even get a single shot on goal for the entire match.

If I was going to wager on the game, I'd have lost too because I would have bet on Over 2.5 goals

Serbia was awful today, they made so many mistakes in their own half that it is a wonder they didn't lose 5:0. If they play like this in the next game vs. Germany they will lose badly but knowing Balkan mentality I am expecting a much better performance from them. The problem is that even their best performance will likely not be enough to take the points from Germany.

They'll definitely need to put on their best performance to steal a point against Germany, maybe they'll reflect on their loss today and make proper adjustments before their next game.

Germany on the other hand were brilliant today, It was expected an win but, still they should be commended for putting up a great show.

That is the problem with Balkan teams,they offer no constant playing and against strong teams like Germany they suffer the feeling of inferiority.I think against Germany they will suffer a bad defeat with a big goal difference.I am afraid that the pragmatic play of Germany can make them lose with a tenistic result.

Don't forget, only winner of the groups and one best runner up are progressing to the knockout stage so if you lose the game you are pretty much out of the tournament. These youth competitions are really tough.

Croatia started the match very badly and found themselves trailing by 2 goals. In the meantime we started to play a bit better and got one goal back. Should be a good second half.

Damn, it's good that this pool is free and we are playing just for fun. Otherwise I just would lose money on this torunament. Romania just won against Croatia 4:1. I didn't wtched the game, and I'm really surprised about result. I thought that Romania is wekaest team in the tournament.
England - France starting soon, it should be great game and Ihope I will get my first points

LOL!

The U21 Tournament is gradually becoming the game of the underdogs.

I had England where in the lead for the most of the game but France missed to penalties and were still able to win the match 2-1 with two late goals
Although had were down to 10 men with about 30 minutes left on the clock.

A lot of people in the pool predicted the match to be draw, I would have been at the bottom of the table If te game had ended with a 1 - 1 draw.

I read somewhere in the last few days that according to the Italian National Broadcaster RAI more people watched the U21 Italy - Spain match than the Senior match of Italy - Greece in the UEFA qualifying tournament. Can't seem to remember where I saw this.

This shows that expectations are high in Italy for the Azzurrini.

2 - 1 win for Spain means their campaign is back on track after their defeat against Italy, meanwhile, Belgium are approcaing an early exit from the tournament, Except if they could fight to be one of the third best placed teams, I doubt chances of that happening anyways because their performance today were totally bad, Spain don't look flawless either.

You got that wrong. In this tournament only first placed teams advance trough to knockout stages + one best runner up (4 in total, semi finals). Meaning Belgium is out for sure and Spain is doubtful even if they win next game.

Thanks for the heads up mate, I missed that.

That means it's must win for Italy tonight too, their game against Spain was top notch despite going behind, I'll be expecting a really through encounter between, match is 13 minutes gone already, an even match so far.

Oh, come on. I finally get 1 correct result and 3 of us have it

Yes, It was just 3 of us with the correct score of Spain vs Belgum, but no one got the correct score of Italy vs Poland, not even the correct prediction. No one could have anticipated Italy would lose after the superb dispaly against Spain in game 1.

The leaderboard is still pretty close, It's only a matter of one correct score then another leader would emerge.

Romania made another sensation by beating England 4:2. I considered them as the weakest team of the tournament, but now they will fight against France for the first place in group.
Meanwhile Croatia and Serbia are the biggest disappointment of this tournament...

You've said it all but, If your think Croatia and Serbia are the biggest disappointment what were your expectations for England ? They were one the teams I had high expectations for, but they haven't even secured a win yet.

Yeah, England obviously is also worth to mention. But from what I saw, England looks promising despite these results. Silly mistakes of defenders and squad selection is the reasons why they failed. While Croatia and Serbia were overhyped too much.

Aidy Boothroyd is to be blamed for England’s debacle he kept their best player on the bench, I’m referring to Abraham who scored that brilliant goal. The sack is coming for Aidy who’ll have to answer to England fans for his decisions. There’s no doubt that England defenders made silly mistakes, but in the end I feel their tactics were poor hence they lost.

Don't forget to place your picks for the knockout stages of the tournament.

I hope some of you managed to earn some money on France - Romania match. Both teams were certain to go trough with a draw. I managed to catch the odds @2.2 for the draw and later I saw the odds dropped as low as 1.6. Didn't watch the match but the fact that both teams combined didn't manage to have a single shot on target should tell you enough about the nature of that game. Poor supporters who payed for the ticket and Italy.
