Euro Championships 2016

Austria. Cracking record in qualifying for the competition, in comparison to others quite a weak group and with David Albala (schuss the spelling) one of the best youngish players around.

Anyone know if any good offers? Heard if you back a team to win and they win a game you get a free bet.

You think? I dont see one world class player in this England team. Gone are the days of Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, Franck Lampard and David Beckham. Maybe the fact they dont have any world class players will help them gel.

Agree.

For a supposed contender, their defense is bowfin.

Prefer Belgium at around the same price. De Bruyne to rip it up.

[Gordy M]

Without going over scotlands qualifying.... its interesting that posters have tipped all three teams that qualified from our group...albeit outsiders, apart from germany. We really did have a tough group.

[MoscowHibs]

I wouldn't write off the Spanish, and I have a sneaky suspicion Sweden could do well.

I fancy England to do alright. And while not world class players yet I'd take Kane, Alli and Dier in a heartbeat.

Defensively their a bit suspicious but Smallings coming in off the back of the best season he's had.

[Sweet Left Peg]

Thomas Muller at around 7/1 to be top scorer seems a decent bet to me. Backed the Germans to win as well cos they are never far away.

Italy could be a decent each way shout as they have a solid defence.

[Baader]

If Germany play to form they win. Despite not having a proper Euro class striker they still have the best squad. I think Spain could be a good bet. Pressure off after a winning run and poor World Cup. They still have an unbelievable amount of talent.

[Squealing pig]

Hink Wales to be least goalscorers is good bet at 22s

[Nutmegged]

France and Giroud 33/1 for me

[Hamish]

Currently on Sky Sports Adverts, sorry News, they are comparing Lewandowski and Lafferty.

Mm.....

[HibeeLR]

Is there a .net prediction league for the Euros?

[PeeJay]

Think France will do it. You can never rule out Germany but they will have to get past France in the semi-final and I can't see it ...
Be nice to see England and Wales give a decent account of themselves ... just hope there is no trouble anywhere

[Dunbar Hibee]

£10 on Italy at 16/1. France or Germany will probably win it but didn't see much value in those prices!

[DH1875]

Germany to win it. Belgium and Croatia the ones to watch and Slovakia to be the real dark horse, outside bet.

Both surnames begin with the letter 'L'....

That's me

Euro bets placed.

France to win/Pogba to be best player in the tournament
Germany to win/Ozil to be best player in the tournament
Belgium to win/De Bruyne to be best player of the tournament
Austria to win/Alaba to be best player of the tournament

[ekhibee]

My wife is half Austrian so would love to see them do well, but I can't see them winning it, even in the year of the underdog. Traditionally I've always liked Portugal, but I can't get away from the fact that Ronaldo is an arrogant fanny. At the price I'd definitely fancy Italy(16/1), with Sweden as an interesting wee outside bet (100/1).

Viva Espana!!!

What are the odds on Gareth Bale qualifying for the 2nd phase?

Very high if people underestimate Wales other players like you are. Quality team.

What are the odds on Gareth Bale qualifying for the 2nd phase?

There's only 8 teams that don't qualify for the 2nd phase!

Think Wales have a good shot at 2nd in their group anyway

Excellent. The feeling just will not go away.

Fancy Italy.

They are lacking a really good goalscorer but as a unit their goalkeeper and 3 central defenders are the best in the world. I can see them getting pretty far with a lot of 1-0 wins.

Desperate for this. A 1982 performance all over again would be fantastic. The defence is great but we need to find a Paolo Rossi or Toto Schillacci unexpectedly and Pirlo needs to have the swansong tournament of his life. We know how to play tournaments, but so do the Germans...

Really? Not sure I'd believe the type, they are awful defensively. 2010 was a far better team and they were murder.

To be fair, there's been very little hype down here. The media have been playing down England's chances. Even tonight on Radio 5 Live it was said that the best they could hope for would be getting out of the group/quarter final.

I think they might do better than that.

I very much doubt that will happen, he isn't in the squad.

In which case its a very tough task. I thought they'd taken him.

[The_Exile]

Belgium for me, great mix of youth, experience, plenty fans no doubt backing them at each game and some absolutely cracking fitba players in that squad, good odds too.

Marchisio and Verratti are far bigger losses, Pirlo isn't what he was.

Yes , Sky bet are giving you a £3 free bet every time the team you bet to win outright wins a game ( £10 stake )
I've stuck my £10 on France . 3-1
Going to stick an ew bet on Sweden at 100-1 ( who would have thought Leicster would win the Premier and us to win the Scottish :)

Enflandshire fans have already been going mental and throwing chairs across courtyards. Keep on trucking guys, you are doing what you always do hopefully just like your team.
