Why do we have so much luck ?

We have chances with Netherlands and France.

[AK1979]

the host nations are going to have a tough time getting out of their groups which is a shame.

Having backed the Germans fairly heavily im satisfied with their draw. Spain will be pleased too but will probably find a way of fcuking it up as usual

I cant say I was overly impressed with the Italians in the Scotland game the other week so you could get something there if things fall right.

Bloody hell. No easy groups there.

[whycantistayawayfromdogs]

surely there must be some early value to be had in those matches, not that i would be able to find it anyway lol

Croatia at 'evens' to beat Austria seems tasty but I'm wary of that match for some reason.

Oh, I suppose I should have added this as well. Yesterday's other Bettingzone Market News:

1615: Following today's Euro 2008 draw Sky Bet have priced up the top goalscorer market for the tournament and have installed Bayern Munich's German strike force of Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski as joint 6/1 favourites.

Portugal's top marksman during the qualifying stages, Cristiano Ronaldo, is 8/1 third favourite. Sky Bet are also offering exclusive top goalscorer markets for France, Spain, Germany and Italy.

Tournament Top Goalscorer 2008 - Win Outright:

Klose, M 6/1, Podolski, L 6/1, Ronaldo, C 8/1, Henry, T 10/1, Toni, L 10/1, Koller, J 12/1, Torres, F 14/1, Villa, D 14/1, van Persie, R 14/1, van Nistelrooy, R 14/1, Almeida, H 16/1, Da Silva, Eduardo 16/1, Trezeguet, D 16/1, Ballack, M 20/1, Anelka, N 20/1, 25/1 bar.

5/2 for the croats to win their group looks good.

[archaeus]

Fook me what a group we have . Tiny little chances to qualify for the next round, but all i want is a victory vs Italy, havent beaten them since '83 .

dont ask me to give proper reasoning but i actually fancy romania to qualify - just seems that everyone will be so focused on the 'big 3' it may just pay off in romanias favour....

i'll be laying them to finish bottom definitely.

Bit mad pricing up the games so early. Though it's exciting to see it. Should be a great tournament.

The Swiss in the opening game at 13/8 looks interesting. I know in the last couple years they have been improving. Has it stalled at all since? Not sure about them Czechs at all. We (Ireland) gave them a good game and we had our worst qualifying performance in years.

I agree about evens for Croatia. Looks good since Austria are just above the minnows these days. But i've a bad feeling the Austrians might punch above their weight. There is zero expectationsfrom their fans which could be a blessing.

Romania/France. Romania 10/3? A bit big surely? The Scots beat the French home and away. I wonder about how good they are these days.

To win group D i'd be tempted by 4/1 about Greece. They qualified with style. And we all know what the Spanish always do in these tournaments. Sweden and Russia? I'm not convinced by either of them.
