If this was the first or second match in the group I would lay the house on Spain, but we know it is not. As everyone knows 2-2 or 3-3 etc gets both teams through to next round, knocking out Italy. If it is in the best interest of both teams things like this tend to occur. Spain will want to keep its yellow card offenders off the pitch as will Croatia. Poor Italy will pay the price once again.I look at this a tad differently. There has not been a red card or penalty in any match since the opening game between Greece/Poland. So lets go with some logic:
1. Spain/Croatia over 3.5 @ 2.62/+162 (3 Units)
2. Penalty in match YES @ 3.50/+250 (1 Unit)

Italy need the win and need help. There is no value backing Italy ML. I do not bet unders in the last group stage match and Italy is not a goal scoring machine either. Balotelli has a muscle sprain , The defender Barzagli is back which means Italy might have 4 at the back but what does that really matter.. The only value bet I found is;
1. Italy to win to nil @ 2.00/+100 (1 Unit)

France just needs a point to secure qualification but a nice win and they avoid Spain in the Quarterfinals. Sweden has already been eliminated and you have to wonder what motivation they will have for this match. Elm & Elmander might not play, Ibra has already checked out on holiday. I have to stick with my French team in this one;
1. France ML/-0.5 @ 1.62/-161 (3 Units)
2. France/Sweden Over 2.5 @ 1.85/-117 (1 Unit)

I'm expecting a fairly open match with Rooney being back and England not so compact at the back. I don't expect England just to sit back versus Ukraine because a loss and they are gonners. I think England has the quality to win this game but I will err on the side of caution and just go big on a total here;
1. England/Ukraine Over 2.5 @ 2.00/+100 (6 Units)

Does the Czech Republic stand a chance sure, will they advance NO. The captain Rosicky is in major doubt .All of the Czech goals came from the wings which is a position Portugal is great suited for. I don't think the Czechs keep up with the speed of Portugal, which could in turn lead to some cards being shown. Ronaldo has seemed to have found his form and this team is clicking at the right time. This is the first time also the Czechs leave Wroclaw that is basically almost on the Czech border to play this one in Warsaw.
1. Portugal ML/-0.5 @ 1.80/-125 (4 Units)

On Paper this looks to be the biggest mismatch in the tournament. Germany has no injury concerns and have never lost to Greece. Greece will be without their captain Karagounis and Goal Keeper Chalkias. I will not chase the asian handicap here as I already have Germany in a futures wager. I can see the Greeks parking the bus and frustrating Germany but once a goal comes in it could open the flood gates. I will only go for a goal scorer prop in this one
1. Mario Gomez to score anytime @ 2.00/+100 (2 Units)

I'm still miffed about that French performance vesus the Swedes. Did they really want to stay in Donetsk that bad. If they were to progress the next semifinal match will be in Donetsk and the winner will face POR/CZR much easier than GERMANY/ITALY baracket. I think this game will look much like the Italy v Spain opener a low scoring tight game so since there is no value on the Under I see the French at least keeping it close;
1. France NTL/+0.5/DC @ 2.10/+110 (5 Units)

The most even matchup in the QFinals. It is really difficult to pick a side here, but my bias favours the Italians but only slightly. Chiellini is out I don't trust terry at the back. balotelli could be a hot fuse as well as Rooney. In effect this is the same team playing eachother. There is not even value here on the Draw. So I have to favour the Azzuri here with a value bet;
1. Italy DNB/0/PK @ 2.05/+105 (5 Units)
