thx DS, having a nice soccer run yourself

3-0 +4.38 units (1 unit per bet)

THURSDAY 06/12

CROATIA +0.5 +130
POLAND pk & -0.5 +101

Writeups make you look like an idiot if a game goes the opposite direction, but i'll give it a shot.

CRO vs. GER: This is the game both can "afford" to tie. GER even more so, because they got lowly Austria waiting in the last game. Of course GER seems to be the obvious choice, but there's no real value in it. They had an impressive first half against Poland but couldn't keep up the pace. Portugal & Spain made a bigger impression. Croatia should at least be able to keep it close. Hoping for a draw here (I'm german btw).

POLAND plays Austria, a team which is only in there because it's one of the two hosting nations. Switzerland and Austria are a class below the other clubs and home advantage doesnt close this gap. Switzerland made it look even yesterday in the first half because of the rain, when it became dry(er) and fitness kicked in, the turks managed a nice comeback win. Although Poland wasnt exactly impressive in their loss against Germany, they kept it close until min 72. Austria should be a relieve after the German (first half) barrage.

good writeup, never silly to offer your opinion, whether correct or not.

Good luck!

Going into the tournament it was widely thought that Austria was the worst team playing.

After watching them outplay Croatia in their first game loss, Im not so sure.

There isnt any value in playing the chalk with the Krauts but I cannot see anything but that result or the draw. Germany wins and cruises past Austria in a snoozer next round.

4-1 +5.18 units (1 unit per bet)

FRIDAY 06/13

ITALY -1 +147
FRANCE vs. NETHERLANDS OVER 2 GOALS +102

Dont go overboard on the Netherlands after game 1 or you might be in for a surprise German-style. This might end in a draw, just hope goals are involved which would be a push at least.

This already feels like one of the harder days to predict.
