I suppose I'll be routing for Croatia in this one :1orglaugh

I honestly think England are gonna stroll it 2 or 3 nil

Great game and win for Holland

They had me sweating at one point. I could have cashed out my bet but at 2 - 0 i thought "nah money is safe"


Then it went 2 - 2 :helpme



Thankfully got there in the end though... :thumbsup

That was pretty close

Nice :thumbsup

Scotland's first game at a Championships in 23 years starts today vs Czech Republic.


Here's to more glorious failure !! :)






2pm kick off. I'll be in the pub early lol.

So at only 1 nil down, our goalkeeper decided to go for a walk :)

You know the rest...

Great win for Slovakia.. I thought Poland gonna win

Spain cost me a few £££ last night :helpme

Sweden are masters of the 0-0 and Spain as usual pass it 50 times and then try and walk it into the goal.

I mean seriously, shit my boots...







:party-smi

no one in CZ expected that either

you can imagine it's all over the news and social media

Enjoyed that France vs Germany game. France could have won by a couple more. Definitely looking strong !


Ronaldo coming up trumps for Portugal in the earlier match aswell...

Yeah France looked like they never had to get out of second gear yet still won. Now we have seen everyone's first game id say Belgium impressed me the most but its early days

After watching France play I don't think anyone can stop them. Maybe Belgium if they get De Bruyne back and stay healthy. I am all in for Belgium.

Great game, Germany had chances, but when France break, damn it's scary.

Was thinking of betting a bit in next a couple of days.

What are your best picks?

Thanks

Russia would have been one for sure but they just scraped by in the end. The odds weren't great on them at the start of match so would have had to have been an in-play bet to make any decent money. Just before they scored they were 5/6 so double money basically. Dammit!



This game about to start TURKEY vs WALES i cannot call it. A draw perhaps, but yeah I'm avoiding this one.

Got to fancy Italy in the game later tonight against Switzerland... :2 cents:

Got to fancy Belgium at double your money odds today against Denmark :helpme



:2 cents::2 cents:

Saw this pic the other day, she is smoking hot!!!!!!!

As far France and Italy and very strong opponents to win.

Well it sure as hell wasn't easy, but got there in the end.



Cha ching !!! :thumbsup

It's the big one tonight.

Scott you are going mad

Scotland's world cup final.

It seems this is only the second England vs Scotland in a proper international tournament (excluding qualification), the other being Euro 96.

Realistically England should easily beat Scotland, especially at home. I'll say 3-1.

As usual Croatia is trying to win by disabling the opponent physically...

Seems to have been the gameplan yeah.

Not working as it stands however...

That will do me. What a difference Kieran Tierney makes to Scotland. Beat Croatia and we should have a good chance of one of the 3rd place finishes

Well that was intense. Worth it, but intense.

2 main things to take from the game were, we are still in it and game 3 against Croatia now isn't meaningless.....which would have been soul destroying to watch. Not to say we will win on Tuesday, but at least we aren't already out. I think Scotland were the better team overall today.

Other main thing of course is simply not being defeated by England so, it's all to play for really and some pride restored after the fuck up against Czech Republic.


A good night all in.....would be fantastic to get a result on Tuesday now. We are still crying out for a quality striker though. Damn you Griffiths ! He would have been that goal threat we needed. But he fucked it and i agree with the decision not to include him in the squad. Not after a season like that.




England i feel will fall short against the stronger teams again. France, Germany, Italy etc....i would expect all to beat England.

Same as usual then hehe.

It was a good game, I did say a draw, but I did think there would be some goals, good saves by both keepers though.

What are your predictions for today's matches?
Hungary - France
Portugal - Germany
Spain - Poland

I've bet France, Germany and Spain. :)

Just hope they have the energy for Tues as they ran themselves into the ground. I agree with you about a finisher. Say what you want about Kenny Miller but you backed him when a chance came his way. Something we really lack. Play as good as that on Tues at Hampden and they give themselves a real chance. Croatia have not really impressed this tourney

I'd have gone France, Portugal, Spain, so probably Hungary, Germany, Poland.

Kenny Miller or a fit (which is rare) Griffiths would bury those chances. Scotland for all they create just don't have a classy goalscorer. I fear the hype machine for Tuesday will go into overdrive now, only to be let down massively. Hopefully i'm wrong.

Fact is we haven't scored in the tournament so far. Nobody qualifiers without scoring goals. So. 1 game left to fix it...

great fans great match, but unfair group congrats Magyars

Big pressure on Croatia for Tues as well though. If Scotland beat them then they are out. To go from a world cup final to being knocked out in the group stages is a massive failure. That will be in their minds i imagine

Can't be worse than this when French was stolen the Finals by a killer goalkeeper. And where Germany and Austria made a deal how much they would score (both went already further). The French should have gotten a penalty and schumacher a red card and the Germans and Austrians disqualified.

"Group 2 saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2–1 victory of Algeria over reigning European Champions West Germany. In the final match in the group, West Germany met Austria in a match later dubbed as the "Disgrace of Gijón". Algeria had already played their final group game the day before, and West Germany and Austria knew that a West German win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and a draw or an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. After 10 minutes of all-out attack, West Germany scored through a goal by Horst Hrubesch. After the goal was scored, the two teams kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the match. Chants of "Fuera, fuera" ("Out, out") were screamed by the Spanish crowd, while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3n


"Schumacher's action has been described as "one of history's most shocking fouls""

Too bad the ignore function on this board is mostly pointless.

Here a german player kept falling. So they twist his ear and you could see he just lied down again for nothing.

I'm sure Scott is happy you fill his thread with your hate for Germans.

Who are the good bets for today?

Italy under 2.5 goals?

Neither Italy or Wales have to go for it today. A draw would see both teams safely through. So yeah if anything would expect an Italy win.....but yeah if it's 0 - 0 by 80mins etc neither team will be pushing for a win so, under 2.5 goals in the match isn't a bad shout.











Which should mean a 5 - 3 win for Wales :1orglaugh

LOL, that does seem to happen when I put a bet down! I did the money line at -190 for Italy to win, I had a risk free bet up to 100$ so even if they lose I'll get it back

I'll do Wales a good turn. Italy 3-0.

No hate for Germans here. My father also has a great German girlfriend. Just posting how funny it is hearing a German talk about Croatia while Germans where the biggest example how not to play soccer that even deserved a Wiki Page.
Disgrace of Gijón - Wikipedia

But for you a vaccine is already political even when a soccer player almost died on the field. Don't ask questions, reminds me of "don't mention the war." Than the EU leaders must have killed a lot of people if the virus was political. Look how the German press put pressure on a young healthy Dutch player in the German League to take an experimental vaccine. While the chance something bad happens is much less for a healthy young man than an old person with underlying disease that has been vaccinated. Disgusting.

But sometimes making it political is okay!Lets make a political statement and light up the stadium, where Hungary plays in München, in the rainbow colours. That is cause the EU hates Orban and this as another moment to make themselves look better. Haven´t seen them making Rainbow Stadium for Turkey. Or displaying dead Navalny on screens when Russia plays. This is a well thought of political action. Orban can´t do much $$$ damage when they make a statement. So who is making soccer political.. But let´s go to Qatar and show the rainbow flags :) I am in favour of that.

Damn, can't add admins to ignore

W0000t w0000t !!!! :thumbsup

You nailed the score :thumbsup
