Tomorrow there is a game between italy and austria and it seems another easy win for italy if they play with the same style like in the group stage, they dominated all their games and without receiving any goals i think we will see a similar game tomorrow.

It is time to have some action tomorrow. We have two games: Wales - Denmark and Italy - Austria.

Wales - Denmark: I can't say that Wales were really good in the group stages. Turkey's poor performance against them helped really much to qualify for this round. Otherwise, Wales don't play that good I think. But Denmark really impressed me in their group games. Eriksen's heart problem has been a big motivation for them to play better against their opponents. They were incredible against Russia the last time. I think that they have a so big chance against Wales also. I expect Denmark to be the winner of this round by one goal at least.

Italy - Austria: I'm not going to talk about this draw too much. Because it is very clear that Austria have near zero chance against Italy. Because they are one of the biggest favorites to win the title as well. Italy have a really good football discipline. I think that they won't have much problem on eliminating their opponent.

Kulusevski can be a masterclass player, he has the Zidane's moves if he can progress in his carrier.
This year he underperformed in Juventus like the whole team under Pirlo.

In this Euro is starting to show his class.

Sweden are also my favourite in this match, and they have impressed so far in the tournament. It was only by a hair that Ukraine made it out of the group stage as one of the top four third-placed teams. When we look at clashes with strong teams, the Ukrainians played well against the Netherlands, but lost the game nonetheless, while they had very little chance to score against Austria.

A group stage ranking dosent mean much but they got a good draw. Honestly they got a good chance to win against Ukraine,Ukraine has struggled a lot in the group stage,but im expecting lots of goals in that match

And i hope they're not 
It's time for my country team to win this Swedish people and go ahead. 

Chances for both teams are close so can wish a victory for the best!

Besides, it's also VERY FUNNY that books gave really ROYAL coefs for any Russia opponent. For example for the victory of Denmark against russian "team"  the coef was 1.75!!! It better than crypto bulls race, because probable success was around 95 %. And 2.3 for -1 in score

Win win situation

I will bet for Germany victory in that match, I think England was just lucky because they joined Grub D which incidentally is a team that is indeed under England, especially in some Grub phase matches, England's performance in my opinion is far from a potential champion candidate and we can see when England face Scotland who are the weakest team in the group. I believe that Germany will beat England with a score of 2-1 in the match later.

I have a feeling that sweden will have a long run in this Euro as they finished above Spain and they barely concede goals and also their match up system looks kinda fair...and with this being said , don't be surprised if you see Sweden in semi-finals or even the finals. It's even England or Sweden in the finals but hard to chose from Italy/Portugal/France or Belgium on the other side of the Euro2020 Play-off panel.

Its not much differences between those two and the bookies probably favour England because this game would be played in Wembley Stadium. Thats literally the home ground for the England team and would give them the advantages. I actually thoughts the odds would be closer to 2.0 because of this advantage but it isnt and thats probably because England's performances in Group Stage is kinda lame


Im not sure why you are bringing this up but penalties are part of the game. Even if he scored a lot from the penalty spot, he is still a top player and he is not over rated. He earned his spot on the top.

England have a relatively easy run all the way to the final if they can just get past Germany which is obviously a huge hurdle but Germany have been inconsistent so far. They steamrolled Portugal, lost to France and then drew with Hungary and if they can hold them to a draw then England certainly have a chance, but their performances against mediocre teams haven't been great either. I'd still probably back Germany to win but a draw is also looking likely. I could see the match going to penalties. Hopefully there's lots of goals. A 2-2 would be nice.


Irrelevant? Tell that to Ronaldo. I'm sure he won't care how he gets the golden boot. I agree that penalties are an easy way to rack up the goal tally and maybe shouldn't count but I guess a goal is a goal at the end of the day. I'm not complaining though as Skybet had an offer on for the golden boot where if you put £10 on a player you get a £3 free bet every time they score and I went with Ronaldo so have made my money back in free bets already and might win over £100 if he ends up being the top scorer. Getting past Belgium isn't going to be easy though so if they go out to them there's lots of players on three goals like Lukaku who could catch him and if he scores in that game he'll be well on his way to the golden boot.

I don't think it's a problem because the best players can come from the winning team and not, but as far as I'm aware the best players will always come from the winning team. Whether it's from a club or from the national team, at least they get an assessment of the way they play and how high their influence in a team is to bring their team to become champions. Well, I personally don't really care about this because for me, whoever the best players are, the most important thing is that they can still play with high sportsmanship in a match.

Yes, my observations has picked up that in a number of competition, I don't know what compensation that is, but sport is a Noble activity, that should bear a standard for merit, how I see it is that the pick the best player from the losing team and automatically they are the best players, wining team may not be too furious because they are engulfed by their victory.
Regardless of who wins or loses, two team came out and one came out best than the other, when they contested, so what ever happened during the contest should not be sentimentally judged .

The problem is that the organizers don't care about fairness. For example, at the World Championships in the finals, the best player is always the player from the losing team (maybe they think this prize is consolation?). I've seen many championships and it always happens that way.

Yeah. I know he's a good player, but I do think he's over-rated. Five goals in three games is not representative of his contribution. Not sure if the figures are totally up to date, but he's scored 145 penalties in his career... which is a sizeable chunk of his overall goals tally. Yes he's a good player, but he's not quite as much of a goal machine as the figures suggest.

Before fully switching our attention to 1/8 finals, I still want to say few words about group stage.
Guys, which team surprised you most and which one was biggest disappointment? For me biggest surpeise was Hungary. Yes, they got eliminated, but they deserves a lot of respect because how they played in death group is impressive. 2 points in such group is great result for them, especially when slmost everyone expected that they will end with 0 points. From underdogs, Denmark got my sympathy too.
Biggest disappointment is Poland for me. Before tournament, I was confident that they can reach next round. Lewandowski was doing everything what he can, but when he don't have world class players around him, it makes everything more difficult for him.
So far this tournament is exceptional because of big number of own goals and many missed penalties. Also, there was quite many goalkeepers mistakes so far.

Yes I also can't predict who will win chance is 50:50 maybe only luck they can hope for. For regular time I prefer Belgium but if it's a penalty shootout I choose Portugal
Likewise with England for regular time and Germany for penalties, I took the choice based on the records of each team.

Oooops, i was a little wrong   At least it was close enough to draw (0: 1 Austria). Not like 3:0 in match between Russia and Belgium.

We will see how the match will result between Ukraine / Sweden

Well, he was born in Germany, but I guess Willi Orban has some Hungarian roots. Orbán or Orban is a Hungarian surname and even occasional first name. In German it would be a variant of Urban.
I have not looked into it, but it is possible that he has dual citizenship because he has at least one Hungarian parent.

I think who progresses to where will depend on how these guys perform against their opponents, unfortunately I can't say that it will be easy for either teams from your picks i.e England or Portugal...this is becoming tough.

The only teams promising to jump to the next phase are Denmark 🇩🇰 and Sweden 🇸🇪 the rest have to work for it, I don't see favourites in their fixtures.

It can't be confirmed that the prediction can be correct what we see their opponent is quite tough so it won't be easy to get past to get into the last 8 phase, yesterday Germany struggled to win with Hungary and in the end had to draw after the final goal as the decider have qualified for the last 16, as well as Portugal so their ambition is very strong especially Ronaldo will continue to try to win with Belgium so I can't be sure and in football, something will definitely change in the final score later, but it will be a very interesting match for watched, for those who love certain teams with bets, there will be more satisfaction in itself.
