EURO 2020 | General discussion

[Ashleymcduff]

I can't see Depay winning the golden boot. I see France winning it and scoring lots of goals along the way. So I think Mbappe will get that.

I haven't seen Barella play so I don't now if this is a good bet. But considering I think France will win, I think one of their player's will probably win POTT.

I like to go for a bit of value opposed to the favourites. Had James 125/1 in 2014

Ward Prowse and Ings. That's what this squad is missing. We're knocked out of tournaments either by losing by one goal or on penalties. So we're likely to need a goal or a penalty taker. Ward Prowse is so good at creating from deep. Rice is a good player but that's not him, similarly Bellingham is good at driving from midfield but not necessarily running the game from deep in the same way. Phillips and Hendo are useless creatively.

With so many quick players and height in Kane/DCL it would be ideal to have Ward Prowse to use late on in games if we need a goal. Whether from open play or set pieces where he's fantastic. One of the best in the league.

Yep, agree with this. When you add in England were a set-piece team at the last tournament and the amount of free kicks we may get given how good Foden and Grealish are running at defenders with the ball, it’s a bizarre decision to omit JWP.

It might make a bit more sense if he’s decided White is a better option than Coady and Mings after the last couple of games but still think JWP should be in there.

Any fancy any big priced bets ???
I’ve been studying the market and have come up with these bets I’ll be backing.

Memphis Depay top Goalscorer Easy group, takes pens Best price 18/1


Nicollo Barella POTT 100/1 A big name usually wins this for the sponsors but should have a v good tournament. Great player.

Christian Eriksen Top Goal scorer 100/1 Denmark are pony but he is their Roy of rovers. Pens, free kicks, Last 16 is their limit but could have a few goals by then. Worth a small bet, same price as Ramsay and Tielmans.


Tournament winners Belgium 15/2

Second best squad in this tournament and don’t concede that many.
Lukaku in form of his life, it’s now or never for this group of Red Devil’s players imho

Had a few goes in the goalscorer market. Couldn't resist Phil at 50/1. Ferran at 33/1 and Lewandowski at 25/1 aswell.
As for tournament winner the French squad is insane but I'm taking a punt on Italy. Straightforward route (on paper) to the QF, great manager , the best anthem and tournament pedigree.

I'm convinced if we (England) had Pep as our manager, we would win the Euros.

don’t rate France that much tbh , take Mbappé out they ain’t all that .

So, where do you think you will finish in the competition? I see whoever set up the games have given you a 66 style home advantage for the first games, which should help, but, for me I don't think you have enough to win it. What s the feeling among you lot?

If we win the group which I think we will, we will face France, Portugal or Germany, so out in the last 16.

We'd be better off throwing a game and finishing 2nd to face the runners up in Spain's group.

I think that as well. This Spain team is the worst for a long time and I think France are the best team we could play.

Engerland will shit the bed as soon as they play someone decent.

My ultimate piss boiling final would (if possible) be Germany V Scotland.

The racists would explode.

I thought the runners up in our group faced the runners up in Spain's group, Poland or Sweden possibly?

You know what you're right, hadn't realised that. To be honest it still could be Spain, they're not that much better than Poland.
