Euro 2012....

Will Pinny keep the bets oustanding until the game is played or refund and make you bet again? The line has moved a lot since the open so it would cost a lot more to bet over 2 if having to do it again...

Yes I believe Pinny will just keep the bets outstanding,,even if they play tomorrow,,Atleast thats what they did when i had a tennis match suspened because of rain.

GL MW.  Lampard is injured BTW.

I am thinking about adding on to my Sweden bet - I hear that England will be starting Carroll in addition to Wellbeck and Young.  That sounds like an offensive setup - so I will like Swedens chances.

15. Ukraine / France - I keep hearing how France played vs England - the slow pace - the inability to create etc. But clearly the pace of that game was dictated by England - not France.

That is not how France wants to play. And that is not how the Ukraine plays either. This theme of this game will be space. There will be space to operate where England allowed very little. Ukraine gives up the space in a trade off with their counter abilities - and they dont mind just trying to outscore you. Gusev goes up just about as much as anyone in football - and leaves space behind him willingly.

I do think France has the advantage here - and will win - but in a choice between the side and the total I decided to keep it all on the total. I was very surprised to see this at 2, was expecting to see 2.5 juiced to the over. But I was tempted to put money on France as well. So for me it is Ukr / Fra over 2 -120 for 3 units. Most likely result France 2-1.

16. Sweden / England: England has me nervous. I am still a big seller on their talent - but I do believe they are playing a system - the only system - that they can possibly have success with - and they seem to be playing it well. France had no ideas in the second half - and resorted to just shooting from range. France simply could not break down the 2 banks of 4 for England - which by the way have been the most organized of any team in the tournament. Every time France came down - you could freeze your dvr and count "1, 2, 3, 4" times 2 sitting back, compact, and no space between. That is hard to break down.

But it is also hard to score out of that formation - unless you are OK with getting 3 shots hoping to score on 1 of them. The balls came out of the back up to Young or Wellbeck who were often left facing 5 defenders by themselves. Not going to work too often.

Sweden looked dangerous to the extremes against Ukraine - dangerous in the form of Ibrahimovic - and dangerous also in the back as they gave up way too much space and too many chances for the Ukraine. This is not the Swedish way.

So for me - if England come out - play the same style - play for a draw and hope Rooney against Ukraine is their ticket to the next round - they will be hard to score on. But being able to take a half goal in this one with Swe - I fell pretty good about that. I only hope that when England get their limited chances - Sweden limits the quality of those chances - which definitely scares me.

Im going with Swe +.5 -130 for 1 unit. Most likely result 1-1.
