somehow I think that this will not be such a great tournament,because of all situation in europe/world and how players didnt had time for anything,not to rest from season,not have more days in national team before start and ofcourse that they moved this euro for one year! just can hope that I am wrong and that we will have great games!

The fans will be able to go to the stadiums to watch the games, that would be a very good point, because that way football with the fans comes to life, now this June 11 will be something very special, a high-level football with great teams.

Will be a strange tournament for sure. With the spread out locations where the games take place, the different rules for the number of spectators in each country and the 24 team format. With a lot of 3rd place finishers making it out of the group stage, the tournament really starts with the knock out games.

I hope like peoples to see a beautiful show at this Euro 2020, because this important tournament in Europe was delayed with a year because of Covid 19 and now it is announced the first matches. I tried to bet on several events because some matches have low odds but it did not work because they cannot be combined.

I dont like this system on euro,where four best teams on third position will go in next stage,instead of what we have on world cup,where you need to on first to positions to get pass from group!on this way,you can maybe have only 2 or 3 points and you will go further and maybe they will even be on first place on end!

Actually the World Cup was played with 24 teams, in a similar format to this years Euro, for a while. There too, a bunch of 3rd place finishers qualified for the knock out stages. But those tournaments tend to grow bigger and bigger over time. And we are now by 32 teams, and there are allready plans to expand to 48.

The game system is set by them, but we are not here to discuss that, but we are here to bet and enjoy this show, to see great players from each country play, it is like a World Cup, despite certain restrictions, the event is insured.

a Euro tournament with 32 teams is ideal, because with 48 it would mean almost the entire continent and the quality of football would be much smaller, due to weak teams. I guess a world championship with 48 - 64 teams is fine. I looked at the odds of result matches two days ago, but most of them are small. I will look for other betting options.

I am a fan of Portugal because this Christian, I hope I could repeat and defend the title won, it is a team that I have a lot of faith in, France is also a favorite, let's see what happens with these great games that you are going to see.

biggest difference on this euro and ofcourse not such a good thing,this rule in every country about fans!one country will allow only 11 % of fans on stadium,somebody will allow 100 % and rest of them 20,25,30,50 %!this is big difference for team that will play and how big support they will have! some countries lost their place on this euro,because they didnt allow fans on their stadiums and uefa didnt want to have empty stadiums!

I don't know the whole situation of strong teams, but I think that Portugal no longer has potential to win this tournament who starting today. Christiano Ronaldo is very good at this age as well, but i don't think his team will catch semifinals. France and Spain are favorites for me.

France is the favorite, but I want Portugal to win, Cristiano is elderly but he is a great player and I think that in these competitions he gets his best version, he already did it in 2016 and he can repeat it.

Turkey demonstrated last night that it is a weak team, because they played very poorly in front with the Italians. Who said that number of teams must increase at future tournaments, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Bad football is not liked by people and they can lose a lot of sponsors.

England started well this difficult match with Croatia and led 1-0 in the 87 minute after Raheem Sterling's goal. For now, is just at the beginning of that big tournament, but any mistake can cost any team. I can't bet anything because the odds are too low, but i'm still waiting for others matches.

I think the first games are like a warm-up, after this group stage you can see the real teams there, because they are going to face high-level teams, not now, although there are groups of death, but anyway.

the only surprise so far was Denmark - Finland 0-1, because at this moment Scotland can lose the match with Czech Republic ( o-2 min. 80 ) and this thing is normal, because bookmakers put the first team as favorite, but the better team is the second one.
