Ended up +14 units with Argentina live ml hitting and we have another positive day in the books. Will be watching my dog all day tomorrow so will be home for all the games so looking for a big day. Let's get it 
Czech btts -138 - 12.5 units
Czech over 2 +btts parlay 6.5 units paying 10.4 units
Turkey put up 3 goals against Georgia and had alot of great and very good chances vs Portugal but couldn't convert. Don't see how they don't score here. Czechs scored vs Portugal and should of had 3 goals vs georgia with 1 taken away. Hard not to see them scoring vs a turkey team who allowed 3 vs Portugal and 1 vs Georgia. This has all the makings of a 1-1 game but Czechs need a win so they will push for that.
Belgium ml Portugal ml parlay 6.5 units paying 8.1 units
Like the Albania Spain game it's hard to see any result but a Portugal win today cause even a rotated side is better then Georgia. Belgians have a tougher test but Ukrainians are so bad on defense it's hard not to see Belgians push through here.
Lukaku anytime scorer +115 - 3.5 units
He has been a battering ram the first 2 games doing everything except scoring a goal. I expect he will have ample chances against leaky ukraine defense so will go with that here.
Agree with you on your brief take on Belgiium-Ukraine.
I don't think thise Ukrainian side even belongs in the Tournament--they were stronger in 2021. The goalkeeper is the worst I've seen, and makes blunders every game. We all want to see Lukaku score--last match he was seen sweating it out in the Berlin heat, giving his all (can't say that about most other strikers in this Tournament0, and I'm pretty sure he's a fan favorite because of this continuous hard effort. But soccer always has some pain involved, like human flaws, VAR, poor managing, etc. This will be his best chances all match. I hope he gets it done with a hat trick. Again, the worst defense by far, they look like they are uncomfortable defending, and that could be the truth. The keeper is hard to watch.
Not sure how Ukraine got past Slovakia. I don't like betting matches between two Eastern European teams (aways 'wiers sh*t going down), given the history of corruption, but I was surprised to see the different halves. Slovakia had a 1-nil advantage at the half. They controlled the game. Then, it seems to me, the Slovakian side tanked. They refused to take advantage of their chances. Ukraine's first goal was the result of a turnover that was so sloppy it looked deliberate.
I also felt like the Denmark-England match had a 'tacit agreement' to hold back scoring chances and each side refusing to attempt to break parity. Kane and Saku were removed very early. These teams seem veru "friendly" with each other, and it is remarkable they both achieved 0-0 results in their final clashes, even though on paper they had X-goal advantages over their opponents.
Soccer is a reflection of people, and people will (excuse me) sh*tty if given a chance to take a day off, mess up expectations, make tcilt underhanded agreements on the pitch for future favors, etc etc. It's what we humans will always be like, and so soccer is and will be part of all that sh*tt*n*ss.
Only a few matches are full honest efforts, and we wait for those, (like the WC final between Arg and France) but these don't happen everyday. We would be too spoiled if it were like that.
Sorry to use your post for my 'rant' about the quality of play. Kind of burned out now on this Tournament and will not be watching so closely anymore, as expectations are not meeting reality. You seem to have high expectations and keep pressing forward, so that's to your credit.
Well, to your point, there is parity in Europe. However Belgium drawing with a side argueably that ought to be ranked around 40th (FIFA has the US ranked 11--LOL-- so those are wishful thinking 'wannabbee' rankings) and today's result reeks of something rotten to say the least.
They don't care what the fans are muttering about. They are all holding back their 'horses' and have the power to create scoreless draws with anyone.
Take it or leave it. 
is part of soccer because people are generally speaking just . You have to embrace the or not be a fan or bet on these games. Be on the right part of the , and try guess "motivations" because every player and walking breathing sh*tt*er knows the scenarios.
Even though the talent level is not as widespread (outside of Argentina -Brqsil) the COPA at least has these sides going after each other, and they are for more entertaining.
The one exception is Portugal (I also want to say Croatia but they lacked the defending this year, and could not hold leads). They are led by Bruno Fernandes in his prime, and he is the leader on the pitch (not the Ronaldo show), and they just play their best "futbol," regardless.
Played (tailed) the under in Czech-Turk, the over in Geo-Port. Almost there....
On to the more entertaining COPA: Any thoughts on Jam-Ecu or Mex-Ven?
I'm liking BTTS in these matches, seeing more gaols have the more conservatively played first rd games. Am I walking the plank or anyone else seeing it the same?
