good play, you can never be sure with belgium's goals, i believe VAR has erased 3 belgium goals from 2 matches.

They should’ve won like 5-0 but I’ll take it.

Scotland should win today which means they’ll draw.

haha...i'm going to take hungary today

$$$ coming in on the bagpipes. bankroll at +$350

going to play hungary to win (+170) for $50.

did see some interesting prop plays that my guy doesn't take. over/under of 4.5 yellow cards. i'd take the over.

hungary didn't play for 20 mins and allowed scotland to look like...scotland.

1-0 for the swiss at halftime.

here's one man's opinion of switzerland:



it got worse for him as germany kept the same music, but changed the lyrics of it's national anthem.

after what happened to ericksen at the last euro, uefa has learned it's lesson. make sure the curtain-bearers get to the player in distress, 5 minutes before the stretcher-bearers. that player's potential death on the pitch isn't for everyone's entertainment. what a joke. truly inspired by daniel larusso's curtain costume at bully h.s. halloween party in the karate kid. hope the player is ok, not sure what happened.

hungary scores in the 9th minute of death-time, bankroll at +$435.

the injured hungarian, varga, suffered a concussion and also broke, fractured and dislocated various bones in his face. was out cold for 10 mins or so. woke up in the ambulance. had surgery. get well. uefa claims there was no delay in treatment.

bankroll at $435. going to play both favorites today. spain at -210 and italy at -140. going to play $150 on each.

well, since the italians weren't too interested..i had hoped that modric's goal would stand. until the death of the match, with joe dimaggio scoring and dedicating his goal to marilyn. croatia allowed one of the CBs (calafiore), 1/2 of the worst CB tandem in decades of italian NT history to run with the ball and pass it to a wide open player. wtf were they thinking? 2 NTs on the decline. chiellini is in for a disappointing knock-out round. bastoni, the other CB, wasted a free-header on a corner. these guys are very sub italian NT standard.

england pretty much gets an easy pass, unless slovenia does the unthinkable. i could easily see a 0-0 draw here.

bankroll at +$375.

can't believe holland is only -115, going to put $200 on holland.

the other early match of france x poland is interesting, as far as the over and maybe a draw, a draw is +500. can't see an over and a draw, does poland have 2 goals in them? going to play $50 on a draw and play the over (2.5) for $50. i'd say the polish 11 looks very attacking.

I look forward to Southgate going away after this tournament...unless they somehow win.

_________________

should've known something was up with holland at such low odds. still, very disappointing. good on poland, got lucky with the overrated lewandowski. seen him miss other clutch penalties, along with his free header in the 1st half - got a second bite of the apple and nearly broke his ankle on his second awkward PK. they showed mbappe shaking his head - the same mbappe who got the same decision (re-take, after a save) and made his 2nd penalty attempt against greece last year. i actually believe that poland will be better without him. too bad poland's #1 and #2 GKs don't have 10 more years in them. great duo of GKs.

going to play england, and the over in denmark x serbia. serbia looks like a shell of themselves. england -$340. $150 on england, $100 on the over (2.5) and $100 on the over (2.5, +120) in denmark x serbia.

bankroll took a huge hit, -$425. portugal is another big favorite at -220, going to play them for $400 and play czech to win, no draw +110. throw $100 that way.

england has been a killer and the heavy criticism doesn't help anyone - as southgate believes in a late pawn chess game against a serbia and slovenia, when england still has rooks and bishops on the board and they don't.

tough day at the office - #24 for portugal made an idiotic back pass in the 1st minute for a georgia goal, then unbelievably decided to clip georgia's best player for a penalty. there was absolutely no danger and he decided to stick his foot out and, i mean...ok.


turkey x czech. i almost expected uefa's nonsense to continue with turkey. i should've known. 2 yellows and a red on 20 minutes for a czech CM and the bumbling (not briliiant, fletcher) turks escaped their own sending offs until they scored on the weary czechs. 10-man czech scored to level and then were denied a hand-ball outside the box/hand-ball inside their penalty area by the romanian referee. the turks scored in the 94th minute against the 10-man exhausted czechs and uefa gets their muslim team in the knock-outs.

you can't fight city hall.

going to keep going...bankroll at -$1405. going to play the swiss to win in 90 mins/no draw (+200) for $200 and play the 90 min. under (2.5 -200) for $200.

yeah i'd be very surprised by a result at match end. this goes to penalties.

oof, glad i didn't bet. italy you suck.

nice hit on the under! get some money back.

yeah, that portugal match was costly. buoyed by having the panthers over the oilers. so, we'll keep trudging along.

this is the worst italian side i've ever seen in my lifetime. usually, the identity is - you are not scoring. top defensive nation in the world. now, they have no real identity, their attack is brutal, their midfield is very blah and this is the worst set of defenders they've ever had. they got real lucky against croatia and was confident that chiellini wouldn't be celebrating after italy's first knock-out match.

got some money back, will play germany (-160) to win in 90 mins for $300. i don't feel england tested them defensively and i believe germany will.

despite my terrible prediction in the italy game i think germany wins this 3-1.

england has been costly...going to try them again today. slovakia doesn't do anything for me and i think they're going to play for the 0-0 and try to get to penalties. bankroll at -$505.

going to play england to win in 90 mins for $150 (-240) and also play slovakia not scoring in 90 mins for $150 (-160).

england, i guess..

going to take huge favorite spain and try and break the bank..$400 on the spanish.

I hit a little with a draw live bet at +370 and +550. It got up to +750 before England leveled. Wow.

it was a good play, as georgia has shown in this match with spain - all it takes is one counter-attack...panic/mistake/excellent ball can lead to a goal.

should be good, de bruyne x kante...

going to play france to win in 90 mins (-110) for $150 and another $150 on france to advance (-210). love de bruyne and doku, while lukako looks ready to rock and roll, just feel they lack in D.

Parlay France to advance (-210) with Netherlands to advance (-650) gets you -140 or so. Netherlands-Romania tomorrow at 12 EST.

like that a lot, don't rate romania at all. can see lots of goals in this match.

france come through, bankroll at -$405.

again, i see slovenia parking the bus and hoping for a 0-0 and penalties.

going to play 'no' on both teams to score in 90 mins for $200 (-160). will also play portugal to win in 90 mins for $200 (-270).

bankroll at -$745. no traction.

going to play the over in holland/romania (2.5, -110). going to play that for $150. will also try the over in tuurkey x austria (2.5, -105) for another $150.

on any other day, holland score 6 on romania and what a 2nd game - the turkish GK made the save of his life in extra-time. we'll see if their luck continues against holland.

Seems like more and more people are saying Turkey is the future of European soccer!
