EURO 2021

Moonlight · 06-11-21, 01:47 PM

I noticed we don't have a thread for the upcoming football matches so I've fixed that.

Italy vs Turkey

Me thinks Italy will see off the upstarts from Turkey and give them a sound thrashing, it's time they emerged from the shadows of past legends and this tournament could be the start of new ones.

mapuc · 06-11-21, 01:58 PM

I've placed my bet on Italy as prime winner and draw as support.

Opening matches use to be 0-0 or 1-1.

As far as I'm aware Italy are unbeaten for almost three years so if that is correct it makes them firm favourites for tonight.

Match has just started...bye.

Moonlight · 06-11-21, 05:30 PM

Well that prediction came good in the end, why teams play so defensively I will never understand, a poor coach and a dismal Turkey performance will not give their fans the slightest hope of winning the Euros.

3 games tomorrow, the important one is at 8.00 pm UK time.

Belgium vs Russia

I've got Belgium down as a major contender for the semi finals of the Euros, I expect them to beat Russia if their best team performs as well as I expect them to, tomorrow we shall see which team has the most desire to win.

mapuc · 06-11-21, 05:45 PM

Belgium has a great team. They are favorite to win against Russia.

Denmark is up against Finland-Denmark is favorite in this game.

First match though is Switzerland vs Wales. According to Danish betting Switzerland is in favorite to win that game.

May the team that takes more Vitamine D win

!

Jimbuna · 06-12-21, 04:13 AM

Italy v Turkey was the equivalent of men v boys.

mapuc · 06-12-21, 12:32 PM

A terrible incident seems to have happened on the Danish Football team.

Christian Eriksen, fell suddenly. The other players called for help and a few minutes later, you could see Christian get CPR.

So now the game is suspended until further notice.

Edit.
What I understand from what I've heard
He suffered acute cardiac arrest. They manage to get his heart back in action.

I hope you must not feel personally too effected, mapuc, due to him being from your country. Not knowing you I dont know what your stand is on such national identity things.

Game is said to be continued soon, while the man is awake and stable in hospital.

I dont feel comfortable with the decision to continue.

They said in the analysis on tV that in recent years screening programs in clubs have been boosted and perfected - but only because more such incident have happened worldwide over the same period of time. Which says something, and what it says is not positive.

Isn't sport said to be a benefit for your health...?

It was the first thing I noticed fromthis tournament, and then this. I am simply not itnerested in it all. I do not even know about the German team, when it plays, and against whom. Not interested.

Jimbuna · 06-12-21, 01:55 PM

Game has restarted which shows me where the organisers priorities lie.

Early signs are he is awake and not in imminent danger which is where my priority would lie.

Moonlight · 06-12-21, 04:39 PM

It's the knee benders turn tomorrow (England) I won't watch those woke pillocks so I'll select the night match again.

Netherlands vs Ukraine

I expect the Netherlands to keep my 100% record intact and to add some flair to the proceedings which has been lacking so far.

Ooooh you're not much good at this prediction thingie Markus, stick to one game per day in the group stages old boy as it's much easier.

Being a favorite isn't the same as they will win..
I had Denmark as winner-well you lose most of them and win very few of them.

I played something called Bet13. You have to predict the outcome of 13 Euro matches-From Turkey-Italy to Finland-Russia. Home win = 1, Draw = X away team win = 2.

Don't try and squirm your way out of it Markus as it's very unbecoming of you, you didn't go against those favourites you mentioned so they are yours to own up to.

I know and I seem to have lost a few bucks on this.

Jimbuna · 06-13-21, 07:30 AM

There was an extremely important pair of winners yesterday....Christian Eriksen and Simon Kjaer.
