EURO 2004 - Wednesday

[Cannon]

I usually don't play much international soccer because of the high possibility of draws; however, I am going to play these:

#1 Lithuania (+112) over Iceland - Lithuania needs this win and the revenge angle comes into play, as they lost 3-0 at Iceland, but don't let that scare you, they played most of the game down 1 man. Iceland is coming off a last minute 2-1 win over Faroe Islands..I expect a home win.

#2 Greece (-108) over Ukraine - well, the Greeks are on top of the world after beating Spain in Spain! Now they host Ukraine, who is coming off a 4-3 home victory over Armenia. A home victory over Ukranie will put the Greeks in a good position to advance. It won't be easy and this is a "public"play considering their victory in Spain.


Lean to Poland/Sweden Under 2.5 - Three top strikers for Poland aren't playing, two strikers from Sweden are out...

Italy vs. Finland Italy 1.85 !

It's like betteng on NJ against Ana

Finland just won serbs that were next to pathetic,
Litmanen is back (so?), there is maybe one Finnish
player that could reach regular line up place in Serie-A.
Italy is full of serie-a stars and regulars.

all so
0-2 6.50
0-3 15.00
0-4 41.00

good luck

ITALY match is OFF THE BOARD at Pinnacle.

risky to play Italy.

Azerbaijan has just beaten Serbia (unbelivable). This means that if Italy wants to reach Wales in first place (5 points away and 4 games left) they need a win tonight. But they also feel more relaxed that Serbia is now pretty far to fight for second place. Second place gives you the right for a playoff game to reach the Finals, so it is better to win the group of course, and I think Italy will try to win, but finishing second is not too bad. So Italy might want to manage for the draw and keep Finland and Serbia away for second place.

Finland's starting lineup consists of players from the top divisions in England, Germany, and Holland. I think if some of them wanted to they could play in the serie A. I don't think this will be easy game for Italy. No way they win by 3 or 4. Under probably the best best.

Finland had some scoring changes early in the first period,
but as allways in tough spot we came out empty handed.


1.85 + 0-2 6.50 , i'm ok with that
