Since the English lads have a thread maybe the rest of us should have one too , after all one of us 3 is bound to go further than Woy's Awmy lol

Think 80/1 each way Wales is worth £2.50 eachway !

How do we think it will go for these 3 teams ?

Wales certainly have a big chance of getting out the group, we will struggle as per usual under Hodgson (though we'll get out the group) with his refusal to take the team into a new era and Russia are no great shakes at all.

 

Northern Ireland will do well to get a point in a group that contains Poland, Ukraine and Germany.

 

Eire are probably fighting it out with Sweden for a chance to make the third spot as Belgium and Italy should do enough to claim the top two spots, they'll need to win a match though as one or two points won't be enough in third.

 

 

It's a farce really that 16 out of 24 make the Quarter Finals, it shouldn't be harder to go out than through.

Is the group stage 4 or 5 teams?

 

Four teams in six groups, top two through and the four :blink:  best third place finishers.

Ruins the early stages completely.

portugal have had one sensational player and ten other alright players and have proven you need more than one world class player in international football. wales have kingy and then what? just some championship rabble trying not to fall over all around him. probably get out the group in third place with one win vs russia but wouldn't back them to progress any further than that.

How can you have 16 teams in the quarter finals?

don't really see the issue with it. few more teams than normal, get some weird teams involved and some smaller nations and everyone gets an extra game. the euros had become a bit boring when it was obvious most the teams who would qualify and you could probably name 6 or 7 of the 8 quarter finalists before the qualification had even started. 

 

england portugal italy spain germany france and holland just revolving most years (except 2004 which was a really good euros imo). 

 

it might not be cream of the crop but iceland v czech republic or some shit with everyone giving their all will be way better than spain passing it around and winning 1-0 against croatia every year.

If Wales finish 2nd though, they play the 2nd place team from Group F (which is Iceland, Austria or Hungary provided Portugal win the group). I'd then fancy Wales to beat any of those three.

think they'll finish third tbh, and then the round of 16 game is spain or germany (if ive got that right, i still don't quite get how "best place third team" is going to be decided)

I don't get third best team bit either.

 

Can't work any of it out without righting anything down atm.

Apologies lol

 

We have a last 16, in a tournament that starts with 24, which is ridiculous and will result in about the half the Group stage matches being totally pointless.

Obviously I knew what you meant I was just being a dick :thumbup:

 

Im not sure I agree that there will be loads of pointless matches. Surely if there are more positions to play for then there will be less 'dead rubber' matches :dunno: especially as each higher position means facing an 'easier' opponent.

I do like that pretty much every group will have something riding on it for each team. It actually probably makes the the tournament more entertaining.

 

Still can't get over Griezmann top scorer and France to win being 33/1.

Yeah I noticed it was was waaay higher with billys. Is it williamhill you work for? Are you responsible for the great price? If so I reckon it might be worth 40s :D

I think I saw Vardy and England at 80s which was very tempting.

Feel like I should be able to get 100s though.
