Got a £5 each way on France to come First or second. Skybet gives you £3 free bet everytime the team you bet to win the tournament wins
looks right but i have a feeling spain and england are gonna have a bad tournament for some reason
People are seriously hyping France way too much. At the end they won't make it even to semis.
Also I love how this year there are no any big favourites and there are plenty of teams that are considered underdogs that could go far in this tournament .
>>68012043
Yeah, we faced off against Austria a few times recently and imo they are really good. Could definitely beat a team like Belgium or England. I would honestly consider Austria favorites over at least Portugal, and at the very least equals to Italy.
There are lots of decent teams and only 2-3 shitty ones in Albania/NI/Hungary. All of the decent teams like Sweden, Russia, Slovakia, Poland etc could probably go far with some luck and players performing at their best.
>>68012121
don't sleep on hungary. they're one of those teams that have been together a long time (pinter, kiraly, gera,szalai etc.)
>>68012043

France is one big meme.
Might put a cheeky 10'er on Italy.
Idk, just got this feel.
>>68011921
>From strongest to weakest (so, most likely to win to least likely to win the Euro 2016)
No, this isn't what they mean. Odds are determined to encourage certain bets, and if a lot of people start placing bets on teams with lower odds they 'increase'.
>>68012150
This too.
In my book Hungary is 2nd in that group. Iceland and Austria are slightly better, not enough to waltz past them and enough to feel the pressure of having to beat them, while Hungary has no pressure on them and 2 rivals that are well within their killing range.
You know, memes aside England could surprise, these tournaments are never about consistency but I'm not sure if Rooney will be playing up front instead of Kane and Vardy
France will be out in semis
>>68011980
What's your prediction of your starting team for the first game? Do the Swedes still play the 4-4-2 with Zlatan slightly behind a big slow guy and Seb Larsson walking up and down the wing until he's needed for free kicks? Will Kallstrom still start?
Who even watches the Yuros lmao
60 years ago Hungary was the best team in the world. What happened to them?
>>68012243
I'm predicting Hodgson going full retard and playing Rooney as the 10 in a midfield diamond behind Kane and Vardy. He'll butcher every link up and the lack of width will leave them exposed. Dropping Drinkwater for Rashford, along with Kane and Vardy's squad numbers seems to confirm this. Can't wait to see the 9-11 strikeforce for England.
>>68012257
I'm not giving you any information, O'Neill.
nah but Zlatan will play at top together with Marcus Berg against Ireland. Thats all I know for now, our coach hasnt revealed anything else (as far as I know?)

Austria have a better chance of winning than England.

>>68012030
The fact that we have a shitty team is a good reason
>>68012388
No, best way to set it up is Rooney and Kane up front, bring on Vardy for the last 25 minutes. His pace would destroy teams with tired defences. Don't get me wrong, they'll piss on everyone in their group (except maybe Wales who could get a draw, because they know the English players so well), but Rooney at 10 would be found out by any decent coach with a half competent DM at his disposal.
I also get a feeling one of Vardy or Kane is going to get an injury in the build up. Don't ask me why, I just feel it in my balls. Something in training. An annoying niggly injury, where he stays in the squad, makes a small cameo in one game and looks shit, stays in the squad for the rest of the tournament and then misses the first month of next season.
>>68012517
We lost to Belarus today, and yet still qualified ahead of you. You don't get to have an opinion. If you're going to post at all for the rest of the tournament, just pretend to be English, Welsh or Northern Irish.

>>68012674
I think Wales will be extremely motivated for the game and most of their players play in the same league as them, or watch them on Match of the Day every week. Wales are better than Ireland and we drew with England twice recently. This will be the biggest match in these Wales players careers.
Russia on the other hand, have gone to shit, and none of their players will have anywhere close to the level of knowledge on English players the Welsh will. England will beat them 2-0 and it will be totally overblown in the press as a great victory. All the analysis will focus on Rooney at 10 and how great he is there becuase he touched the ball a few times.
Slovakia a shit. I know because they drew with us recently, and it was mostly Paul McShane's fault. We would have won if it wasn't for Shane Long getting injured. Anyone in danger of losing to an experimental Ireland side isn't worth shit.
>>68012350
Well Hamren, I can tell you this much. Ireland haven't really settled on a formation, but it's likely to be a 4-4-2 diamond on paper, becoming a sort of 3-4-1-2 set up in reality.
- Glenn Whelan is at the base of the diamond, but pretty much sits between the centre backs.
- The full backs, Coleman and Brady, pretty much play as wingers, but occassionally defend. I'd barely go so far as to call them wing backs.
- McCarthy will be covering his Everton teammate Coleman's runs and rarely gets forward
- It's not clear who'll be beside McCarthy. If it was September you'd say Hendrick, but he was horrendous against Belarus. If Arter was fit it would have been him, but he didn't make the squad. It will probably be Stephen Quinn.
- Irish meme player Wes Hoolahan will be at number 10. Every time he passes the ball, the Irish fans will cream themselves, because they're retarded.
- Walters and Long are up front, but Walters will drift out to the right wing a lot. It won't win us the game or anything, but he'll tear Martin Olsson apart. They're our two most threatening players, mainly because they run around like dogs chasing the ball and can header really well.
- West Ham's backup keeper Randolph will be in goals
Our team is pretty shit in open play, but Brady has great dead ball delivery. Our centre backs (probably O'Shea and Clark), Long and Walters are dangers in the air.
If we're a goal down with 15 minutes left, provided he's fit, we'll wheel out Robbie Keane, but he won't do anything.
There's your Ireland factfile.

Italy have a point to prove after being shit in the World Cup. They always seem to from good to getting arrogant, getting humbled and then getting good again. I reckon they'll be a contender for sure.
>>68012383
Ya, you're right. That run against Palace in the cup final is the beginning of a return to form after years of being mediocre and not just an increasingly rare flash of the old Rooney
>>68011921
England and Belgium being rated that high. Every tournament it's the the England can actually succeed meme and it is hilariously pathetic. It's a pity Costa Rica isn't in Europe, I would have enjoyed them giving England more ptsd
>>68012586
>bring on Vardy for the last 25 minutes. His pace would destroy teams with tired defences.
Vardy isn't about speed alone he is mainly about seizing opportunities. Bringing him for only 25 min will reduce the chances of a pass finding him for the counter or him finding a mistake to exploit. England must play a 4-4-2 in this tournament If they want The strongest attack
It's rigged for france after the attacks last year
>>68013515
Have you watched or even seen the squad Italy are playing? Or talked to any Italian on this board about this Italian team? They are fucking shit. Worse than the world cup team

Hiljemark!
I am from Palermo and I saw every match he played this year. Has he any chance of being a starter?
Bet all your things in WALES
>>68017804
Lewicki and Källström is 1st choice atm but Lewicki has had some injuryproblems. Hiljemark is either 3 or 4 choice as central midfield starter. But we have had alot of minor injuries so he might start.
>>68017722
No one has any defence. Ours is horrible and Germany are playing Can at right back.
This Euro is going to be like the one in 2004. France has no defense, Germany has no Lahm, England is one giant meme, I dont even know who is playing for Italy. Wouldnt be surprised if Croatia or fucking Poland win this.
>>68012292

Krychowiak was in La Liga Team of the Season in 14/14, and Europa League Team of the Season 14/15, 15/16. So literally GOAT defender. Glik is currently captain of Torino FC and was chosen for the Serie A Team of the Season 14/15. I would say these two could be called top players. And Milik is next Lewandowski in the making, just watch.

Why wouldn't Iceland win?
Portugal, Austria and Hungary aren't that scary of a group, and if they finish second they'll face the second from group B (England, Russia, Wales, Slovakia) which should be easily beatable. Their morale will be super high and they'll be the absolute underdogs against anyone after that, so they'll Leicester up the Euros, and they have odds of 150 which might require a cheeky tenner.

Italy's defence looks nice. Don't know about Germany's though.
Since when has this France team proven they can win anything? Up front, you're reliant on Antoine Griezmann, a choke artist until proven otherwise, and middling premier league talent. Olivier Giroud? Really? Pogba's great; who else do you in midfield? Valbuena was the engine behind your WC performance, he's out. And your defense is nonexistent. this team doesn't have an ounce of character. Poland might be a better

France isn't winning. Croatia is dubs confirm
We have the worst defense of the tournament, it's probably below Greece.
You don't win a tournament with a poor defense.
Basically first team that can a minimum will throw us out.
Un-biased non-participant country's top 3 favorites:
1. Germany
2. England
3. France
Outsiders that's really big nations in football but still would suprise most people by winning:
1. Spain
2. Italy
3. Portugal
>>68024024
Yes, but if you get to choose, anyone would rather play whoever's second in group B than Belgium/Italy.
We'll see if Portugal aims for winner or deliberately for runner-up in group F.
>>68023778
Italys defence looks solid but their midfield and attack are dismal.
Germany look a mess all over. Boateng can only do so much and as far as I know they've only picked one natural full-back.
>>68023788
Payet, Lloris and Matuidi are great, they don't have as many world beaters as some other nations but overall they probably have the most solid looking squad.
Spain look garbage, Italy look defensively good but boring as fuck elsewhere, England look a mess, Belgium can fuck off. Portugal are painful to watch in tournaments. Russia and Turkey look shit. Poland are a defensive liability. Austria and Switzerland are getting hyped due to individuals but as a collective they're both average squads.
European football is at a pretty low point.
Lewandowski will carry Poland to the final
>>68024290

>>68022674
>Błaszczykowski
It's not current year -4 any more. He's gone to shit.
The reason Austria are higher is because you have no left backs and terrible depth. You start both Milik and Lewa, but only have one other striker in the squad, along with a midfielder who can cover the position. You're an injury or two from being JUST tier.
Austria have reasonably decent players in every position, along with Arnautovic, Alaba and one or two other better players. Their goalies are pretty poor though.
>>68022935
>Russia ahead of Croatia and England

The right side has gone to shit this season tho. Harnik has reached new levels of JUST and Klein was never that good to begin with. I'm still hopeful that they can have a good game against the Netherlands and get that vital bit of self-confidence, but if they fuck up even more, the left side will have to do all the attacking.

Listen buddy, I have watched every, and I mean every single polish national team game since 2002. Every pointless friendly. Even the ones that were obvious money laundering to get free vacations in Turkey for the federation staff in Turkey that consisted of solely polish league and Serbian league players. Lewandowski is pitiful for Poland. Today Lewandowski had 2 chances to pass the ball to the overlapping run, instead he dribbles at the top of the box, fails to breakaway, and kicks the ball in the defenders shins.
>>68030600
>>68030740
Also let's not forget, the goals he scored vs Gibraltar and Georgia (9 of his 13 goals in qualifying) were AFTER we were already up. He isnt even the one that initially broke their defenses.
