The football euro tournament thread

It's once again about to start. Place your bets here.

I have no clue this time whom I should see as favourites.

German team has shown great potential, and is seen by many as the top favourite this time. On paper, their setup is almost optimal on every position, with optimal setups for second lineups as well. But I am not sure, the preparation was not running optimal, it seems to me. There are some weaknesses in the team. The Bavarian players suffered a triple moral KO this season, with their unfortunate defeat in the Champions League being a real soul killer. Let'S see if they can forget it, or get effected by it.

Could be that Germany enters the main round. Could very well be. But I do not share the blind enthusiasm there is. I also see a solid chance that they already fail in the first round. Indeed I rate the chances of advancing to the next round only 55:45 or 60:40.

Really, have no clue on what to think of the Germans, or the other teams this time. But I have Holland on my list. Not sure about Spain and Portugal. England - no, not this time, I think. France - so-la-la. Italy - well. Do they play or withdraw?

Saw a documentary of corruption in sport bets recently. I knew it was bad, but not that it was THAT bad. The yearly total being moved is estmated in the range of minimum 200 billion, maximum 2 trillion.

Major football matches probbaly do not get manipulated, thoiugh, because too many cameras film the match and too easily unwanted evidence could get recorded. It is a giant money washing machine for the organised crime and corrupt business.
