Delighted to hear that

Ronaldo was always likely to be the one to score so was a big risk that they'd lose.

In a game like that there would be as much money on chelsea as utd so they wouldnt have lost really still nice to see them take a hit !!!

Did RTE not say on commentary that it was the first time since 94 that they'd lost their opening game?

Euro 96 beat Russia 2-1
WC 98 drew 2-2 with Chile
Euro 2000 beat Turkey 2-1
WC 2002 beat Ecuador 2-0
Euro 2004 drew 0-0 with Denmark
WC 2006 beat Ghana 2-0

I think that France might win it, Holland were lucky to beat Italy imo, they were never in control, only scoring on the counter attack, the French should be more difficult to play against despite their first game.

I'm sure the Croats were available at 6s on Betfair yesterday afternoon.....

I know its easy in hindsight but France were awful tonight, devoid of ideas (apart from last 10 mins of first half), Henry booting Van Persie was a case in point. Holland were fabulous from an attacking point of view. Jasus if only Ireland could play like that.

Its hard to pick a winner right now, I'd lay Portugal and Spain, both I think will be found out defensively against good sides. The Germans are hurting now and will spank Austria in the 3rd group game. This may sound crazy but the Italians will probably beat France and sneak through as Romania wont get anything against Holland (the dutch wont leave any gaps). Might be value each way now.

Could be one of those mad years where Sweden or the Czechs win it

**anto1208** · 14/06/2008, 3:05 PM

To win it i reckon Holland,germnay or Croatia

Spain at 6-4 today

**anto1208** · 26/06/2008, 8:37 AM

Russia are pretty good value tonight 12-5

&

Over 2.5 goals in the match should be even money

**TheBoss** · 26/06/2008, 1:36 PM

I agree, Russia are real good value there and 2.5 goals, is a real contender.

Derry @11/8 v Bohs, of which Bohs are playing a weakened team.

Was that with PP? Was 6/5 when I got there. Still great odds though, put �20 on it. Cork at 17/10 is seems good too, put them in a double with Derry.

**TheBoss** · 01/07/2008, 2:54 PM

That was odds on Ladbrokes earlier, its now 6/5 there.

**anto1208** · 02/07/2008, 12:20 PM

Sligoman will you stop deleating posts no one cares if some one mentions in passing a bet they looked at.

The biggest joke was deleating the one where i was talking about the curse on this thread putting me off posting the bet that turned out to be a winner.

There is nothing more annoying than poor over modding.

I guess that rule was set up to stop people posting "this one time 4 years ago i won a 15 match accumalator" rather than people saying i was going to back germany then i backed spain.

Sort it out

**sligoman** · 02/07/2008, 2:08 PM

You were told about it before yet you still do it. If you don't like them, don't post.

**bennocelt** · 04/07/2008, 5:51 PM

can Mooney make it another double? he is 10/11 to score anytime, but 7/2 to do it twice looks like a good bet. But to make it safe just go for the one goal

Drogs to score two goals...............4/5, not great but still

PP for my odds
