UEFA Euro 2020 (June 11 2021-July 11 2021)

[The Dog]

Yes, Turkey scored

Wales looks like a lock for the round of 16

 

[The Dog]

If Wales could get one counter-attack going with Bale's speed, they could steal a goal and that would make me feel better

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Swiss score again

 

[The Dog]

....and the Swiss score their 3rd

ehh, still too early to call a lock, IMO, especially when wales is down a man

only have a two goal damn advantage atm

 

[DocVOLiday]

oh man, bale had a great chance there

 

[The Dog]

Every shot he's had in this tournament has gone over the crossbar, it seems

 

[DocVOLiday]

I mean, that volley definitely wasn't easy per se, but yea, would have been nice if he got over it and at least put it on target. would have been a huge goal (had it gone in)

 

[The Dog]

Gotta hold on for about 10 minutes and hope the Swiss keep hitting the crossbar or post instead of the goal

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Welp.. looks like bad day for me. Going to lose my parlay.

I know if you get a yellow card in back to back games, u can't play in the next game, right ? But, a red card doesn't have any next game penalty, correct ?

I believe it's if you are sent off (2 yellows or a straight red), you miss the next game. and I don't remember the rules, but they usually have accumulative counts of yellows, but those reset at some point IIRC - I'm thinking after the group stage, etc.

 

[DocVOLiday]

well, congrats to wales! moving on

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I always thought a red card carries a 1 game suspension, but I could be wrong.

 

[The Dog]

Well, Wales advances, barely. Sorry, Nash, that red card probably hurt your chances more than it helped, because Wales just sat back and played defense

Meh, all good, it was only a $5 bet. I haven’t won a single bet in the euros so far . There is always one game that blows my parlays.

 

[MAD]

Scotland would qualify for the Last 16 of Euro 2020 with a win over Croatia on Tuesday if

Denmark were to defeat Russia and Belgium defeat Finland in Group B
&
Either Ukraine or Austria won their clash in Group C

Both would mean Scotland would be assured progression with a win.

Have to say I’m not a huge fan of these expanded tournaments where some of the third place teams progress. Liked the Euros better at 16, and imagine I’ll prefer the 32 team World Cup over 48. I know we get the extra round of knockout games, but it definitely feels like it cheapens the group stage matches when only 8 teams get sent home. Probably just still salty that Portugal basically took the group stage off in 2016 and then got hot and won the whole tournament.

It takes away so much of the drama and excitement.

 

[The Dog]

The Dutch cruised through their group, I expect Belgium to do the same

 

[Devo182]

Russia...

 

[The Dog]

Wow, 4-1 Denmark

 

[BartW]

Hup Holland!
