If I had to pick which are the the final four I'd say the followings (not giving a specific order, only saying which team will get to the finals):
France
Germany
Italy
Belgium
What will be your picks? Do you agree? I think this is probably gonna be one of the most exciting EURO championships we've seen in the last twenty years because the level of a few teams is so good.

Benzema's injury update is indeed really good news for France. Yes, they have great width in attack but all these years they really missed a player like Benzema.
He works really hard for others and is a great goalscorer as well, he's a different option than other strikers they have available. Both Griezmann and Mbappe will rather play a bit on the sides than centrally and Benzema is a perfect player to support them there.
France has by far the best squad available, both in their first 11 and in overall depth.

I saw that the odds for Portugal and Germany winning the tournament are exactly the same, and for France the odds are a little better. To be this is a surprise since all three are in the same group and there are some decent chances that one of them won't even make it out of the first round. Can't we profit of it? Like betting on France winning and either Portugal or Germany getting knocked out in the first group?
You can't be 100% sure which of these teams won't make it out of the group, or you'll have to make several bets!
I'd watch the Hungary-Portugal and France-Germany matches first... Then maybe it will be clear who plays better! June 10, 2021, 06:23:36 AM

i also thought that all european players had been vaccinated, aren't they from the priority group? because in my understanding players are in contact with many people and should have been vaccinated in the priority group, it doesn't make much sense to be vaccinating the general population and not having vaccinated soccer all players
I would think so yes,,, I remember reading about it in some pre Olympic news that atheletes also are priority plus in these European countries there is no longer any more shortage of vaccines so I do not know are some players maybe anti vaxxers?
It does seem nonsense if they did not get it yet or maybe the vaccine is only 99% effective as I read and they are the unlucky 1%?

For the games in Munich, there is still a discussion whether alcohol should be allowed to be served and/or whether spectators have to wear a mask the whole game. The German government is very keen to ensure that there are no unpleasant scenes such as alcohol excesses or close contact between groups of people on live television.
The German newspaper Bild is reporting on the topic: Alkoholverbot in Münchens EM-Stadion?
Sorry for all the spectators, no Oktoberfest atmosphere.

The Champions League final in Porto showed how fans can behave after a victory.
We have to keep in mind that people are 1 year without going out to have fun, football games can be a good opportunity.

"Infected" , that is the important keyword there that you need to understand, it doesn't stop you from getting "infected", otherwise it means if you are vaccinated when you get infected there is a much much bigger chance that you will survive, like 90%+ higher chance if I am not wrong with the numbers there, so you can get infected without being vaccinated and let's say you have 2% chance to die, with the vaccination you have 0.2% chance to die, that is a very good improvement.
It is. Vaccines and vaccination help to reduce risk of infection for each vaccinated person and reduce the severity of illness if you unluckily get infected, have symptoms, etc. Although, you will have bigger chance to recover, you will put you into risk of infection if you carelessly join the crowd. It is more serious if the crowd you join are mostly unvaccinated. It means you will get more exposure to the virus and have bigger chance to get infected. Exposure and infected are different. Vaccine help you to reduce infected risk. If the population you live in have good vaccination and herd immunity, you will get lower exposure.

UEFA has officially released the logo and song for EURO 2020 opening, and I think the song We Are The People sung by Martin Garrix ft Bono & The Edge has its own meaning for all of us around the world to continue to unite in fighting the pandemic which is currently engulfing the world, and also of course this song implies about how wars that continue to occur in several countries cause destruction for mankind, and we all really yearn for peace to be created anywhere.

I know this is just a game, Supercomputer predicted the Czechs to be Champion Euro 2021. the computer simulation predicting Czechs will defeat Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Denmark in the Final. With the simulating, English will be lost vs Denmark.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/supercomputer-predicts-england-euro-2020-24273930
But who will bet Czechs?, we know they don't have the raising player, but when back in 2004, Greece make it happen.

If statistics were enough to guarantee a result, we always had the same winners.
But in football, statistics have little weight in the final result. It only serves to understand the general performance of a team, but then in a specific game everything can be different.
This year, will we also have the octopus predicting the winners?

It's possible and for fun, maybe I'll bet on it. But if I consider the teams that are in group D I'm not sure about Czech and Scotland maybe Czech will still have a chance to be runner up with tough competition, the first place I believe it will belong to England or Croatia. Well, it's just a prediction and I'm sure there will be a lot of surprises, so if the game says Czech will be Champion maybe yes and no. If we want to bet on him I think it would be better to bet first on which team will qualify or not and then bet on who is the winner, that would be fun too. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/supercomputer-predicts-england-euro-2020-24273930

Great news coming from the French national team camp. Benzema underwent detailed knee examinations and it was determined that it was not a more serious injury.
French media reported that Benzema was slightly injured and will be in training in two or three days.
it is some good news for their team, Olivier Giroud is not a really bad player, but let's be honest here, Benzema is better and hee did really well with Real Madrid especially in the 2nd half of the season, even though they won 0 titles but he showed some quality football, i think he would add a lot to the French national team in this tournament, it would really suck if he got called back to represent his country and an injury would take that away from him.French media reported that Benzema was slightly injured and will be in training in two or three days.
The diffrence between this two players in how good they play on high level always.Benzema is playing top level all the time with o most every match that he played in the season while giroud dosent play much and o most everytime comes of the bench and dosent score that much.Probobly the last tournament giroud will be playing for France i guess.Benzema is now back for this euros and the next world cup so not a lot of place for giroud to play

There was no doubt that Portugal would leave no chance for Israel... But how Portugal will play against Germany on 19.06 is an open question! 
The statistics of games between these teams is not in favor of Portugal...
The statistics of games between these teams is not in favor of Portugal...The stats with France weren't the best either, but in 2016 I won in the final.
Portugal have a good team, but they need to play as a team and not just thinking about a player. If they do, then you have a good chance of making a good tournament.
June 09, 2021, 06:47:56 PM
the French team has more strikers, Griezmann and Mbappe are extraordinary players.
Giroud is another option for striker. You still need that pure striker up front and both Griezmann and Mbappe is not the player to hold that role. Giroud is only 5 goals away from Thierry Henry as the leading top goalscorer of all time for France right now.

There goes Giroud's chance to be in the starting lineup. He was so close on breaking the 51 goals record held by Henry and this is probably going his last chance to do that. Im certain that Giroud wont be included in the 2022 World Cup, he is going to be 37 by then and there are tons of other potential players to replace him by 2022

Today we will have another friendly game: Portugal - Israel.
It will certainly be a draw, or a victory for Portugal. What do you think?
As you can see, Portugal confidently beats Israel, even no chance for, which has not been able to hit Portugal's goal even once. It is clear that this is a friendly match and there may be many reasons for this, but it is obvious that Portugal is playing in full force today. Apparently it is testing its main line-up before the start of the Euro. Ronaldo was able to score a goal, which means he is in good shape before the tournament.It will certainly be a draw, or a victory for Portugal. What do you think?
