Good times the 2014 World Cup. I won a shit load of money throughout the tournament just betting on over 2.5 goals and over 9 corners in every game. I think I won nearly a grand just on the Brazil game.
Tried the same thing in Euro 2016 and that didn’t go quite so well lol. Think every game was 1-0.
Weird how you get tournaments that have loads of goals and others that seem really negative. Never seems to be a blend of matches with loads of goals and others that are close games.

Did a quick count and there were 17 games with over 2.5 goals at Euro 2016 compared to 37 at the 2014 World Cup.

Teams knew they could get through the groups with one win and two low scoring defeats, and then knockout games are naturally tighter anyway. Cheers for that UEFA.

I just spent half an hour looking at all the goals scored in 2014. Completely forgot about Costa Rica!
And that James volley just never ever gets old does it

Spain have called a press conference for 11:30am. Sounds like they might be replacing their coach as not happy he's been announced as RM boss before the tournament.

Absolutely mental.
The comments are amazing.
"We have been forced to dispense with the national coach. We wish you the greatest of luck," said Rubiales.
How cold is that lol.

Del Bosque coming back for one more tournament makes the most sense surely?

I thought Del Bosque as well but everyone seems to think Celades or Hierro.

wasnt it announced because someone in the spanish camp knew so he had to do it? i think only the madrid players knew and it was all top secret, then someone else found out so it was blown into public

Is it just me that sense a massive gulf in the difference between England making the quarters and England making the semis?
Get to the quarters and it feels like we've done alright. Yet if we get to the semi's (which is feasible, we could do it without even having to beat a big team if results go one way) it feels like everyone would lose their shit.
