    been watching this thread for weeks.  i work in the business and i chose now to comment because i think there has been some great work done here but too much overthinking of late.  there will surely be a draw in one of the next two games as the teams are more level than those we've seen the past two days.  just giving my input, keep the head up and the strong work continuing.

    The Germans basically took the Greeks out to the woodshed in that 2nd half and sodomized them hard.

    Looks like my luck might have run out.  The lucky breaks that have been going in my favor seem to have run out lately....

    A couple of bad ones in a row....

    Tomorrow:

    France +.5 +115 in 90 mins for 3 units.

    Just running out of time for lineups - have a major wedding in my family this weekend and I am just not finding extra time to do writeups.....  This is the reason I didnt go to the tournament.

    I will be around to discuss.  I also have a big play on England / Italy coming up - have some money out there waiting to be firmed up - but will post soon.

    Looks like my luck might have run out.  The lucky breaks that have been going in my favor seem to have run out lately....

    A couple of bad ones in a row....

    Van how do you take France?

    All kinds of negative publicity with in fighting and they get dominated by a Sweden in a game where they could have avoided Spain.  Now please dont tell me they would rather play Spain than Italy, I believe they lose to both Italy and Spain anyways.

    I think Spain frustrates France early as France like to control the ball and set up plays but they will not be able to control the possession vs Spain.  They will try to counter attack at best back the lack of finishing they have showed doesnt scare me either. I love spain in this game.

    I agree, vs Sweden France didn't get any good shots off, all blasts from outside the box. Spain will dominate possession and the backline for France doesn't scare me, Mexes I feel will be the achilles heal vs Spain. They looked ok vs England, dominated the Ukraine as they should. The thing is France doesn't park the bus on defense as they like to attack. IMO this doesn't bode well for the French men. BOL though

    France wont win in my humble opinion. Spain wont find it easy to win but surely possible. No value in a Spain win for me because I believe there is a good chance for a draw.

    I am going to bet the draw and reduce my my normal stake. This one goes to penalties or Spain wins. I will put two bills on the draw and watch the game.

    Spain - France   DRAW @ 3.50 for 2 units.

    Good luck to all.

    Those writing off France, just remember this. Only 2 teams in the history of this comp have made the final following having won the previous tournament.

    Germany won it in '72, made the final (lost) in '76 (interesting, Germany also won the WC played between these Euros).

    Soviet Union won it in '60, made the final (lost) in '64.

    Now, the kicker? The tournmanet was only expanded to 8 teams in size (still half less than what it is now) in 1980. So, the only 2 instances ever of a Euro champ repeating a finals appearance, came when all a team had to do was win 1 match (a default semi-final) to make the final. the feat was never achieved when only 8 teams were involved, now 16 are. All this means that the odds are severely against Spain even making the final, so they're likely either slip here or slip in their semi.

    not really sure why something that happened in the 60s or 70s would change the way you cap a game. BOL though, Spain is easily the better team, I would sure hate to be on France +.5 and sweating that one out. It is either Spain or no play. Good luck
