⚽︎ Eurocup 2016 Official Discussion Thread

I've noticed that France's defenses are not so strong in air dominance. That's a huge advantage for Ronaldo. Also, i've noticed that France easily opens some space in their defense which is also a huge advantage for Ronaldo and other fast players like João Mario and Raphael Guerreiro and Renato Sanches. Germany didn't play bad today, they were the better team, they lacked a little bit of luck though, the ball just didn't want to enter and the French goalkeeper did a superb job. Germany dominated the whole match basically, France just had the luck on their side.

I know France is an excellent team and i know Portugal will be considered the underdogs for the final but i would bet on Portugal no doubt about it. We'll see.

But the flags are supposed to be on the avatars right? xd

And like I said, I can't change my signature back now that the premium has ended, so it will have to be just for the avatars

Why can't you change your signature? You can do that easily in the settings o.o

 

[Michael92]

Already mentioned above which team I support. No need for me to take part in the poll.

Who you support doesn't matter, just who you think will win the final between Portugal and France. That's the point of a poll, to measure opinion, lmao :lol

Why can't you change your signature? You can do that easily in the settings o.o

Already explained it, size limit xD

Even if the size is correct as per rules (600x300), the number of letters exceeds the max letter count (since I have links in it, which adds up to the letter count). That's why I can't and won't change my signature again ever since I put this one up during my first premium, because I can't put it back up again afterwards when I don't have premium. And I can't be bothered to buy another premium just for the sake of getting the signature back up :lol

I never said anything about Portugal anyway but Griezman is a hell of a player and definitely the man of the tournament, u dont usually see players scoring 2 goals in round of 16, 1 in quarter final and 2 in semi final in an international competition.

As the photo shows itself the guy is doing what platini did for france in euro 84'.

Anyway I dont even care who wins I'm from Albania lel.

Anyways, I did some checking up on the bet I did before the Euro started on who was going to win the whole thing, where I placed my bet on Portugal who at the time had 21.00 times the return on winning (not sure how the betting system works overseas, but I believe that is the same as 21/1 there, no?). So I threw in a 200.00 Nok bet on it which estimates to 21,33 € (euros), a bet that also was the one "fail-safe bet" each Unibet customer got to make during the Euro for up to that amount. So I figured, why not throw it in on Portugal winning the whole damn thing since I wouldn't lose any money even if I lost the bet...

Now that Portugal actually made it all the way to the final, I figured I would dig out that bet on my profile to see how much I can actually win if Portugal beat France, and it turns out the reward is 200x21 = 4200 Nok, which estimates to 447,86 € (euros). So not only is the team I'm rooting for in the final this time again, but if they actually win it (which now is down to a 50/50 per cent chance), I'll win a shit load of money as well xd I would definitely have rooted for Portugal without the bet as well, but with that bet in the back of my mind, this win is going to be almost as important as Real Madrid's win in the CL final for me. Can't even begin to describe my anxiety towards the final now as we draw closer...

>_>
<_<

Portugal better not screw up now!!

OPEN LETTER FROM BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER

Dear Fans,

It’s a real shame. Our dream has not been fulfilled. We didn’t make it to the final, so Rio will not be followed by another magical night. Unfortunately, we were missing something extremely important against France: a little bit of luck. Defeats are a part of the game though, even if they hurt. We can accept our opponent’s performance and sincerely and warmly congratulate the French team on progressing to the final.

I am proud of what we have achieved. We have stayed true to playing our style of football. We have continued to grow as a team in the last seven weeks and this togetherness, which made us strong in Brazil two years ago, has done the same again here in France. We are a team, we are Die Mannschaft.

Our fans are also a part of it. Wherever we were, Lille, St. Denis, Paris, Bordeaux or Marseille – thanks to you we had our twelfth man by our side. Your enthusiasm was clear to hear and see in the stadiums. We also felt the support of all the people in Germany. At this point, we would like the say THANK YOU to all the fans.

We would also like to thank the hosts, France and the French people. We have felt happy, safe and fully welcome from the first day. We had the best possible conditions in Evian. We were able to concentrate and train intensely as well as relax in peace and recover where we were staying. France have been amazing hosts for the European Championship.

I would like to take my hat off to France on behalf of the team.

Merci! Au revoir! And see you soon!

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Good to see someone having my back! Haha xd

I know it's going to be damn near impossible, but the chance of Ronaldo bagging a hattrick tomorrow shouldn't be totally off the chart considering he has over 30 hattricks in his career, so the thought hit me. Why not place a small sum on it happening for the sake of fun, lol xd But if he does indeed bag one tomorrow and Portugal does indeed win this Euro, I'll end up earning more money on betting than I ever placed to begin with... I think. Or at least I should go balanced (yup, been betting a lot over the years, haha).

The price of Ronaldo bagging a hattrick is almost as good as the price for Portugal winning for me, so out of all times Ronaldo does bag a hattrick, let it please be one tomorrow

Was that a reply to the initial text I had written, since your quote of me shows the latter which I changed because I thought you were Dominique for some reason, lmao XD

PS: Can we make it to 750 "spamless" posts before the Euro is over? 1000 is impossible, but 750 isn't that far away, hmm...

Haha yup. Depends how long this thread is up after that though.

I'll probably time it so that I end up on 100 posts in this thread, as with my current activity on NB these days, that is a lot more than I've usually been posting for the past couple of months. We only need about 50 posts now though, but I suppose tomorrow should cover that.

So only one thing left to say, and that is...

Go Portugal!!
