Belgium - Portugal is a very interesting match because it is possible that Ronaldo and his colleagues to leave competition, after a match with their rivals which has a good shape. England - Germany is another game where second team can make history... if he defeats the rival, right at her house.

Today i did not bet on Euro matches, because odds are too low and favorites are not strong enough, for this thing to happen. Wales can put serious problems for Denmark and Italy if they had a man eliminated... could lose that match, or an equal is enough to destroy many tickets of the bettors. I would try other betting options.

The first of the knock out games is over. With a result that was more expected from the following game later this evening. And a strange smell of 1992 starts lingering in the air...

So. We have Denmark and Italy through to the quarter finals.... no surprises there.
Today should be more interesting with Netherlands v Czech Republic and the big one tonight, Belgium v Portugal. That should be a cracker of a game. And a tough one to call.
Looking forward to the next couple of days of great action and possibilities for some bet winnings too.

we have two interesting results yesterday and by that I mean that I didnt expect such a big win for denmark and that italy will have hard game with austria,even austria is good team! must also say that italy had luck to score this first goal and then everyting was easy,but on 2:1 it was close to go on penalties!who know what would then happen!

I bet on Euro today and other matches. Wales confirmed its low odds. Italian won hard and that's why i didn't bet yesterday, because i knew it wouldn't be easy. Belgium played well in this final tournament and has first chance, but a great day can qualify the other team. It is a difficult prognosis. I think Netherlands will qualify without any problems.

Surprise exit of the Netherlands yesterday, but they have a history of losing against the Czech. It will be open season on their manager now. Belgium vs Portugal was a surprisingly bland affair. Did expect more from this

The Netherlands had a odds of 1.60 and i bet on it, but Czech Republic came as a surprise and i lost that ticket. Belgium beat and my prognosis was good, but not my profit. I bet $ 70 yesterday and won $ 50. Minus $ 20 and there are matches for other days because today i already made some tickets.

Two nail biters yesterday. And quite strange games too. Spain gives away an easy goal, and then goes on to steamroll the opposition twice. While Switzerland misses a penalty, only to win on penalties.

France made a spectacular comeback after receiving a goal and then scoring 3 times but football offered a nice surprise last night and the team who qualified was Switzerland. Germany was eliminated by England. I did not see this match but they received two goals in the last 15 minutes of regular time. They played poorly at the Euro and it disappointed many people...

These were two of the better games of this tournament so far. I wish every other one would be like these. Sometimes watching the ones ending in 0-0 or 1-0 feels like a chore.

That is the way most of those knock out games are played. Dont concede a goal. Croatia-Spain and France-Switzerland were loosend up through fairly early goals. Normal is more something like England-Germany, where the first goal decides the outcome.
P.S. Now it is clear, why group F was termed the group of death. All teams already out.

The mistakes of the coaches made some teams to go home faster. At the beginning of tournament, i thought that France would reach in the final, but i was wrong. Now Belgium and Italy is the best match in quarterfinals and i think one of the teams will win this competition.

Denmark could produce a nice surprise if it passes the Czech Republic and after that it could reach in final, because a qualification of England against Ukraine is very achievable and Erikksen's team is able to beat that team from the UK. He did it last year, where i bet on them with succes and they had a odds of 5.40.

Both Italy and Belgium were not overly impressive last round. But espacially Belgium had a very strong opponent. It looks like De Bruyne can't play and Eden Hazard is questionable, so i can see why Italy is the favorite at the bookies.
