What will Croatia do tomorrow against France, that is the question 
Even without Mbappe they can fill our net easily, based on our performance lately 

Well better to take this opportunity and win the game to keep your chances high or at least get a draw and wait for the next game 
Portugal and Sweden is an interesting too. Portugal will win tho

Croatia has never win from France in their six match. In the last match France won 4-2. The absence of Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic seems to make Vatreni's attack capacity less good. I think these are just statistics, even though France looks stronger with its players, Croatia still has a chance to win. Croatia has to fight for the points, I think a draw is a pretty good result for Croatia

Denmark vs England today, will be a good test for the English after a less than impressive victory against Iceland. They will have to be much better, Denmark are no pushovers.

England need to raise up their game today against Denmark, both team had mixed head to head records in the past matches so its gonna be a tough game for both team.
England last match against Iceland isn't a true test for southgate tutored squad, it's going to be a must win match for England to place them in better position in the nation league, No doubt today's match will be keenly contested I am predicting England to win this match with 2-0 I hope to watch harry kane and sterling attacking with full force and firing on all cylinder.

Just saw the match Netherlands - Italy and damn what happend to the Netherlands. Last year they were doing great with Ronald Koeman as their
national coach. Now he left them for Barcelona his substitute can't get them play well. Against Poland it wasn't also that good.

[buwaytress]

According to bookmakers, the Netherlands are clear favorite (win NL 2.35 vs win IT 3.25). I would see the match more equalized so a bet on a win of Italy could be a good chance at very good odds. Or double chance Italy at 2.19 is also a good opportunity.

Austria vs. Romania
The bookmakers see Austria as the winning team (win AT 1.69 vs. win RO 5.6). I see a good chance to go for double chance Romania at 3.9.

Nice call on Romania, I totally avoided that one since I didn't have the time nor current knowledge to bet on them, but that should have been on my radar!

I booked a nice Italian win (3.15 only) -- and judging from the attempts alone on goal, they deserved to win, something the bookies probably got a bit wrong, and based almost entirely on Netherlands' recent form I guess.

[cryptofrka]

I went all in on a France win with a handicap. I know Mbappe is not playing but we were so bad against Portugal and France is really strong - one of the best teams in the world.

They will probably play with Martial and Giroud in front of Griezmann, and Croatia's defence with Barišić and Jedva simply won't be able to cope. Odds are around 2.7 - too good not to take.

I actually feel we will not beat Sweden as well and a relegation from this group is on the cards. Hope they prove me wrong.

[tyKiwanuka]

Ty was right about Germany both times. All in the lineup after all, eh?

They are missing the Bayern players Not necessarily quality-wise, but mentality-wise. They have always been the core of german NT and leaders on and off the pitch. For now this is a team, that lacks some leadership and grittiness - looks more like a bunch of very good individuals, but no real team. And they don't care that much about this competition, not even Löw I guess.

Do you guys know any BTC accepting site where you can play a system like that.

I only know Betcoin/Playbetr as well, but they are no real BTC bookies. What you can always do, is to "manually" construct such a system by playing all the possible combinations as parlays. This is some tiresome thing, but works

Austria vs. Romania
The bookmakers see Austria as the winning team (win AT 1.69 vs. win RO 5.6). I see a good chance to go for double chance Romania at 3.9.

Nice catch, gratz Are you sure about this 3.9 for X2 though ? It was AH0/dnb, no ?

I know but that is really tiresome. My favorite system bet used to be 4/6 which gives you 15 combinations, not so much that it can't be made manually but way too much to it for such low stakes, and those multi tickets with more than 2 or max 3 games on them I always play just for fun.

You sure about that? France doesn't look too convincing for me and I have a hard time judging if Portugal was that good or we were that bad. If only I could judge that I would have one great high stake game for today (either France or Portugal). I was thinking both to score since our defense is criminal and we will make some good actions going forward but again France is solid in defense so not sure about that either. I think I will skip this game and make my high stake ticket on under 21.

It is realistic to expect that after such a bad game, the team will be a little better in this match - but fixing things on the French is a really difficult mission. Although it won't be Mbappe who is a really great player, the array of top players that France has cannot leave anyone indifferent. However, Deschamps announced that he will rotate a lot of players for this match, and this time Dalic throws all the strongest cards into the game from the beginning, so Brozovic and Perisic should play from the beginning, and the possibility of playing Sime Vrsaljko is mentioned.

Good review of the match -> Changes in the staff of Vatreni for world champions! See who should get a chance against the French

[slaman29]

Today I made one of the most stupid betting mistakes ever. I bet on Czech Republic to win @4.9. It was strange for me why odds for is so big because they are better team than Scotland. And only later I realized that there was Covid-19 cases in Czech team and they had to make completely new squad. At least I haven't lost much.
Maybe someone had Lithuania to win @9.2. I think it's biggest upset of the tonight, together with Romania win over Austria. It's a bit strange feeling when my national team wins official game after long 4 years break. Now I know how citizens of countries like Andorra, Malta or Faroe Islands feel after they team achieve win .

So happy for you! This is football:) You can imagine how it is for us Asians to win a big game even more. I know small countries like Andorra or Malta have very small populations but they have a lot of imported talent, and great sporting facilities... but when you visit Africa or Asia and you see they train with no shoes and broken fields and rocks as goalposts, when we can win something the whole nation takes a holiday;)

Sure about the lineup or the handicap loss? Lineup not really but France is strong whoever they field. They rarely look good but they mostly win and we are in a mess from which it will be hard to dig ourselves from.
I like the odds so I will take them, we were really bad against Portugal and I expect more of the same here.

Thanks for the link and the Vrsaljko tip - I expected both Brozović and Perišić to play. If Vrsaljko plays we will be a bit better defensively because Jedvaj was horrible and is our weakest link.

They outmatch us on every position on the pitch so I still expect an easy win for France tonight.

i was watching the game and 15min in during first half, i had to take Italy DNB at 1.87 https://i.ibb.co/vDw5gQk/dnb.png.
They looked SO dominant and Netherlands were never in the game. This win helped me recover from a low stake single i had on Austria :/

anyhow, anyone else thinks France - Croatia and Sweden - Portugal should be postponed? Mbappe has Covid, he's had the virus for a while now and he's been around his teammates before we knew he was covid19 positive, not only that but he was also on the pitch the other day against Sweden, he coulda spread the virus to the Sweden players too and now they could also spread it to Portugal players 🤔 any news about this?

gonna avoid those two games and go with England handicap tonight https://i.ibb.co/HhcPCDZ/engl.png
they were crap against Iceland, yes, but I watched Denmark last saturday and they didn't impress me. I think the english boys will want to "clean" their image after that awful display of football the other day, plus so much controvery surrounding the NT right now, surely a win will get rid of that shite

Don't know about Covid... Djokovic did one mess of a scandal and yet still managed to get in the good books, so I suspect eyes will be closed and tongues won't wag.

But yeah, England odds got a nice boost because of their shitty performance, and while the Danes aren't shit, I think England will step up. No Greenwood or Walker because THEY got busted for their shenanigans (really, England, do you always have to court controversy?) but there's plenty of talent to see them through and yeah, they'll want to win to forget all that silliness.

France team isn't just Mbappe, they many great players as you say, so I'm pretty sure about their win tonight. But I think that current Croatia are fully capable to beat Sweden.

Thanks man! But at the same time for me it was sad to realize how much our football have fallen in last decade. Now there is no easy opponents for us, we are on same level with these minor countries. While maybe 10 year ago we had players in Top European leagues and were above Belgium in FIFA ranking. Hope this win will start rise from the bottom.

anyhow, anyone else thinks France - Croatia and Sweden - Portugal should be postponed? Mbappe has Covid, he's had the virus for a while now and he's been around his teammates before we knew he was covid19 positive, not only that but he was also on the pitch the other day against Sweden, he coulda spread the virus to the Sweden players too and now they could also spread it to Portugal players 🤔 any news about this?

Nope, it shouldn't be. They follow strict UEFA Covid-19 protocol and if I'm not mistaken, game only will be postponed when there is more than 2 positive cases in the team. While players are tested multiple times between the games.

[Barcode_]

Belgium should be able to beat Iceland relatively easily today, and I guess Belgium should be able to score more than 2 goals against Iceland at the final whistle. England have managed to achieve a lucky victory against Iceland in their last match, but I think England will not be getting 3 points from Denmark today, as there is a high chance for this match to ends up in a draw.

[tyz]

Two interesting odds for matches to bet for tonight.

The Netherlands vs. Italy
According to bookmakers, the Netherlands are clear favorite (win NL 2.35 vs win IT 3.25). I would see the match more equalized so a bet on a win of Italy could be a good chance at very good odds. Or double chance Italy at 2.19 is also a good opportunity.

Austria vs. Romania
The bookmakers see Austria as the winning team (win AT 1.69 vs. win RO 5.6). I see a good chance to go for double chance Romania at 3.9.

Had good picks yesterday and made a nice profit. Both ideas worked out. Italy won 0 - 1 (bet on double chance Italy at 2.19) and Romania won also 2 - 3 against Austria. I also picked double chance for Romania at 3.9.
I do not see any good opportunity for today so I pass and hope the third matchday will bring up good opportunities again.

[coinlocket$]

Zaniolo broken is knee (second time but this time is the other one) during the game and now from Italy, we have rumors about a case from Roma Vs Uefa.

It will probably not happen but it what it is, he will need 6 months in the best prevision to heal.


Anyway, in 20 minutes, the King will play. for the goal 100.

It is already 20 minutes in the game and Belgium scored 2 goals after it already received one from Iceland!
For Croatia game, it is interestingly leading with 1 goal vs France

Interesting match to follow! After 5 min, it was already 0-1 for Iceland  . There was some real value in BTS (@2.75!).
Other bet I placed: > 2.5 goals for Belgium, which should be reached easily.
