European Championships 2012 - Round 1 - Gameweek 1.....3-5-1 +0.38 Units

This is interesting. I guess it could go two ways Celtic (1)-it causes disarray and low morale or (2)-it causes a type of siege mentality in the squad, i.e 'us against the world'. We all remember what happened in 2006 when the big scandal broke at the very same time of the year!

Matthias do you like Denmark +1.5 for each game or different for each match?

Conor what did you think of Italy today they didn't look good at all,I know it was only a friendly but they will need a much better performance if they want to compete w/Spain in a week or so

I thought they looked excellent in attack in the first half but after Pirlo went off they stopped clicking. However the defence was very worrying all game but I hope that once Chiellini is in the team this changes, I can't lie was some worrying signs but I still think it will be very different next week.

Also 3-0 was not an accurate reflection of the game. Anyway I still like Italy and Germany also +330. I am working on some games for the group stages will try to put them up tomorrow, do you have any fancies for the group stages Celtic?

Grp A Russia +150

Grp B Germany +110

Grp D France +150

Waiting to see last minute injuries and final team lineups

Conor how do you see Ireland doing

Hey Celticbhoy I think I will be plumping for Russia to win group A also and possibly the Germany bet for Group B. Scary thing is I think like you said earlier England could do well, judging by today's friendly against Belgium the coach would appear to have the team very well organised and working hard for each other which previous England teams may not have had so much. Ireland, ehm well I would love to say im very confident but we are in one shit hard group!! I think Ireland will be the most Defensive team in the tournament so I think under in all 3 Irish games of group C. I am hopeful that we progress to the 2nd round simply because we concede very very few goals and lose rarely in competitive games since Trappatoni became the coach

Good work and useful work

I agree with Portugal to win bud..i think there is some definite value there...cristiano def worth a look too.

Recent Past Euro History:

2008 was Spain over Germany
2004 was Greece over Portugal -- Greece was huge 200-1 odds pre tourney
2000 was France over Italy

Starting to re think my England pick injuries mounting up also no Rooney for 1st 2 games not sure where goals are going to come from,i see joe hart being very important in 1st 2 games
