I don't mind watching the Euros especially from a betting perspective.What really annoys me is people who know nothing about football suddenly becoming passionate football fans.There is nothing more painful then having conversations with people(my inlaws) who through some media inspired false patriotism suddenly become really interested and think they are experts on the game Thank fuck they haven't taken an interest in the cricket.
My outside tip to do well is Italy .

[goonersid]

I'll be having a few bets, won't watch many games.
My tip of the week, Ingerland not to make it out of the group stage 16/1!
I think this is the weakest team they've had in a tournament in years!
I'll be in Swindon next Fri when they play Scotchland visiting some old Ingerlish mates from my days working there in the 80s! So I will need to be on my best behaviour

Yeah annoys me too that people who know nothing come across as knowledgable ……

Put your money on Brazil mate, they are a sure fire thing.

I'd be inclined to agree. Much as though there are undoubtedly good youngsters like Foden, when Jordan Pickford is your number 1 and you've got a ragbag collection of centre halves I can't see them doing anything much

I think the 3rd place spot coming into play probably means England will get through the group, but Croatia will be a good value bet to beat them and Scotland will play their hearts out and make it a very tough game.

You honestly think that is a good bet??
To get through you need 1 win, and England are playing all their games at home!

England will do well, not because they have a good team but because none of the other teams are that good either.

Watching Italy v Turkey reminded me of watching us at home to the Mickeys in that 0-3 reverse, that could have been 0-10

Oh come on the Turks weren't THAT bad

I’m watched it too - mainly as I was “babysitting”

Not having watched any international football for years I was intrigued to see that Italy didn’t fuck about with it at the back or play unnecessary back passes to their goalkeeper (1st back pass was in 23rd minute) to put themselves under pressure.
They didn’t overplay it, with slow, tepid, sideways football, they often played a few passes then played a 30 / 40 yard pass to runners up top, bypassing midfield if required to….which worked very well..

I don’t watch much football, I have to force myself to watch our games, but are we the only team that plays the possession is everything way ?

With the Copa America on at the same time, it's easy to get confused between the two competitions

Erikson? Currently being given CPR on the pitch, it does not look good

[TeeCee]

Jesus, I fear the worst, went out like a light with eyes wide open. Trying to resuscitate for over 5 mins. Shocking, heart goes out to his family….also his teammates.

[TeeCee]

They’ve been using a defibrillator on him, after 10 mins or so it’s really not good….
