[Closed] Euro 2016 begins!

I don't know how to say this, Binners, but one of my final bets before knocking it on the head was on Ireland to win in 90mins at 8/1. So apologies for your loss, but I had to make the bet as they are my DeadlySerious sweepstake team 8)

hahaha! 1-0 the irish! 🙂

[b]BOOM!!!![/b]

Get in!!!!!! 😀

I guess my ITV hub app is behind the main stream then, as just came on here to say it was a penalty and found out the result...lol

I was wondering if Ireland would ever get a penalty after this was deemed as being just fine...

Right...just have to hold out for 85mins.

my wee brother has 2 yoyos on brady and 1-0 ast 220-1. 😆

he suspects ireland have scored a little early! 😆 he's over in letterkenny just now aswell, must be buzzing!

2 yoyos

❓

Also, you sure the odds were 220/1 and not 22-1. The former seems very very high.

euros.

aye good, point, i'm off to chin him about that! 😆

he is usually no bad at the gambling caper, long long way for it to come up mind!

irish looking more likely to score tbh! playing brilliantly.

That's some amazing odds. Would have imagined that being 50-60/1 tops. Good luck to him!

In other news, Roy Keane could have played basketball...

Pffffffffft. Dat defending.

Fun half. Almost washed the detritus of yesterdays games out on my memory.

aye, will need to score again I reckon though, but canny argue with that at all, looked the stronger team and had france rattled for a bit. got to expect a reaction from france early in the second.

aye, will need to score again I reckon though

I think your brother may disagree.

It's just wrong to not want any goals in a football match

😆

To be honest, if this ends up 1-0, I'll send your brother £20 😀

I think the Irish may tire towards the end and the French will nick a goal, maybe 2. But probably just one as that will shaft all my bets when we go into extra time 😡

As an aside... Emmanual Petit looks lovely like he's accidentally wandered off the set of Game of Thrones into the wrong studio.

I bet he smells great as well. Like Davidoff Cool Water. Dead classy.

bastard, was coming though.

Nice header.

Regardless of bets etc, this is a cracking game.

still everything to play for, france looking much much stronger, stranger things have happened though! mon ireland.

Looks like France have woke up.

ffs just as I clicked send. 🙁

france have well stepped it up. different team this half.

This might turn into a battering.

aaw oh....

For the neutral this is very entertaining.

I imagine our Irish brothers are not enjoying it as much.

Not great to see my sweepstake pick going down the tubes either 🙁

So, it took Germany 8 minutes to what England could't in 90. They should take notes.

Cracking goal.

Oh Skrtel.

Edit: Whoops. Decent penalty, but slow/close enough to the keeper to save. Odd that Ozil took it, tbh.

Bugger! Forgot to put my usual safe-as-houses bet on Skertl getting booked 😕

No, Slovakia look pretty much the same.

But England[b] didn't[/b] score.

Bugger! Forgot to put my usual safe-as-houses bet on Skertl getting booked

Just go for him getting a red.

Was just going to say Slovakia coming back into it...

I think betting 5-0 to Germany might have been going a bit overboard.

I haven't watched any football yet today, whats the consensus on Belgium v Hungary ? I'm pessimistic, think it will be dull so perhaps not bothering.

Hungary are my sweepstake team, so will hope they can cause an upset, but reckon Belgium might get themselves together for this one 3-1

Well, they are coming off two victories, so I think they may have hit their stride finally. But then there does seem to be 2 Belgian teams. One that listens to their ineffectual manager and struggles, and the other that ignores him and plays like the world class players most of them are.

Hungary have got that plucky underdog thing going on, tho.

So should I watch or just argue about the EU on other threads 😳

I think you would do yourself a huge favour by logging off, and enjoying the football.

Today has been infinitely better than yesterday.

Seriously Jamba....have a rest on politics, might be a good game!

this evenings game is pretty tasty! Looks like both are on full burners.
Come on you mighty magyars!

Bosh!
