    HOLLAND 16/1

    While France are right faves England got a very good chance with Spain.But for me the dutch look to got things turn around while it true lack a world class forward.At the other end got a world class defense.From Van Diirk who been one of the best players in Europe.While next to him is De Light who only 19 he is best young defender in Europe add that to Frankie De Jong 70million move to barca.Add Windjuim and also a group of young players at Ajax and PSV who develop over next 12months.

    POLAND 100/1

    In terms of outsiders this could be the team got top class goalkeeper in Szcesney who is at juventus but it is up front where the stars might be last chance for Robert Lewandownski to shine in a summer event.But not only him got Milik at Napoli who can play deeper.And got one of the stars of Serie in Piatiek who moved to
    AC Milan in winter transfer window he been brilliant and no doubt got a easy group and every chance could play the role of Croatia in world cup get to final

    Any views guys.

    Van Diirk who been one of the best players in Europe

    Van Dijk best on the planet mate
    16’s is a very fair price and you are right in that they have turned it around

    VVD made one mistake all season when dived in on Sane at Anfield for penalty other than that been foot perfect
    it was a poor header against Fulham but it was the keepers fault imo as ball hit him before Babel touches it, therefore he could of caught it.

    I’d actually blame the keeper more myself, and also Milner. VVD was thrown into the position unnecessarily and headed perfectly fine back to Alisson who came out with his feet.

    I can see the appeal Dazza on Holland as long as they don’t decombust…

    I’ve heard Bergwijn is also decent for PSV- no idea though!

    Would it be possible to play Grealish and Foden in the same team? Grealish, Foden and Mount?

    Are Sterling and Rashford too much out of form (scoring-wise) to start?

    Is Henderson fit enough?

    Does Phillips, Bellingham or Rice come is as a “defensive” mid-fielder?

    Stones looks a given now that Maguire won’t be there until (hopefully) latter stages… but who else will start at the back against Croatia?

    Would it be a back three or four?

    I think England could have a back 10 and still look weak at the back and in the keeper role
    on the bright side plenty of ability going forward but to win these tournaments will the defence be strong enough?
    At the prices I’m steering clear of England

    Middle of the defence may be a bit weak, Nathan. Surely we’ve got better than Mings? Always has mistakes in him. White quite impressive yesterday but it’s very early with him… and will Southgate throw someone in to the Euro’s with so little England experience? That lack of centre backs leads me to think a back 3 may be better. Shame the best attacking “defender” Trent is out, but still plenty of good right and left backs… Don’t think Chelsea and Man City would’ve reached the Euro Final had they not got good (and English) backs. Plus… they have back three experience and/or can provide the width in the midfield / going forward.

    These days I think there’s just as much talking our chances down as up. France and Belgium will be difficult to beat but imo we’re up with them.

    Denmark look over-priced?

    I prefer to bet on individual games; I’d appreciate any guidance either here or for good tipping sites

    I maintain the defence and Goalkeeper is very weak Ginge. The wide areas of defence is fine but the spine is very poor. Stones is a player but really a proper defender, he gets away with it at City because they take 80% of the ball in most matches and have Ruben Dias and Ederson yet still concede goals. Walker is erratic at times, his pace gets him out of trouble but both he and Stones will be tested against teams that play possession football.
    I don’t mind Mings albeit he’s not what you’d class as International class just yet.
    Also Southgate has picked players that are injured. You can’t expect to get into the latter stages and throw players in that are lacking match fitness at that stage of things.
    I can see Southgate playing 3 CB’s and 2 holding DCM’s such is the weakness but in doing so will blunt England’s strength which is the potential in attack
    All that said I’d love to see England win the whole thing but just won’t be betting on them

    I don’t often bet on football but like to chance some wild small stake bets on international competitions, just to have a bit of interest. I have sometimes done quite well (particularly the “name the finalist” section) plus some EW placed big priced Top Scorers. For several reasons, I’ve not managed to study form for this so my selections are even more random than usual (and struggled with the 3rd place options for finalists as even harder to work out who will get through). I never bet on England, or Premier League footballers as they are pathetic prices with UK bookmakers. For what it’s worth, my bets

    Name the Finalists :
    France/Netherlands 33-1
    France/Germany 22-1
    Golden Boot – Serge Ghabry – 40-1
    Top Scorer:
    Steven Berhuis 150-1
    Ciro Immobile 16-1
    Roman Yaremchuk 80-1

    Good luck everyone
