 If your into Euro 2008 betting, a very critical game will take place in the Euro 2008 on Tuesday June 17th. Italy will face off against France in a match that will decide the fate of either nation. Both teams are very familiar with each other as they have played many times. They met in the Finals of Euro 2000 and in the 2006 World Cup Final, they will now meet again int he Euro 2008 tomorrow. A quarter final berth will be at stake, so both teams will be brining everything they have at one another. They both still have yet to get out of first gear in this year’s Euro Cup. Both of them have only managed to get a single point in their first two games. Currently Euro 2008 betting odds at SportsBetting.com have Italy as slight +130 favorites heading into the game.
This is going to be a very difficult situation for all teams involved in this Euro 2008 group of death. If France and Italy draw tomorrow they would both be eliminated should Romania avoid a loss. There are many other possible scenarios to take into account for your Euro 2008 betting. If Romania loses and France and Italy draw, then Italy would go thought in a three way head to head tie on two points because they have more goals in their games. Both France and Italy suffered tough losses to the Dutch, who already secured their spot in the quarters. Italy lost 3-0, while France were beaten 4-1. Both teams will come in hungry to win the game tomorrow. In terms of head to head play, both Italy and France can take heart from recent history. France managed to beat the Italians in Euro 2000 with a golden goal in extra time. Italy had their revenge by beating France in last years World Cup Final on penalty kicks 2-1. Italy also has the overall record edge between the two. They have 18 wins, while France only has 9 and there have been 8 draws. |

 The Euro 2008 has been a great spectacle for the world to watch this year. Many teams have proven that they are among Europe’s finest even when their Euro 2008 odds did not. A very important match in the 2008 Euro Cup will take place on Monday June 15th. Germany is going to take on neighbor and tournament host Austria. Both teams will need this crucial win if they hope to advance to the quarter finals this year. The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com currently have Austria set as the
In Austria’s last game they barely managed to get a tie against Poland. They were awarded an extra time penalty kick, which was taken by Ivica Vastic. He sniped the goal home and Austia received the 1-1 draw. They know that they will need the full 3 points against a tough German squad on Monday to move on past the group stages. They seemed to play very well in their first match against group leader Croatia. They went down early 1-0 on a penatly kick and this ended up being the final score. Currently Euro 2008 odds at Sportsbook.com have Austria as a huge +900 underdogs heading into Monday’s big Euro 2008 game. Germany will head into Monday’s Euro 2008 game poised and ready to strike with favored Euro 2008 odds. They began Euro 2008 with a positive start when they beat Poland by a score of 2-0. Lukas Podolski lead the way for Germany as he had both tallies. He also managed to find the net in Germany’s second game against Croatia. Although it was not enough because Croatia already has a 2-0 lead. The Germans lost this tough game 2-1. Nevertheless, a single point against Austria would allow Germany to advance to the quarter finals for the first time since they won the tournament back in 1996. A key stat to take into account is that Germany has won the last four meetings by a combined score of 17-4. The two most recent meeting were in May 2002, when Miroslav Klose had a hat trick for Germany, as they won 6-2. The next one was in June 2004, when Germany also won 3-1. Germany will be to strong for Austria to handle and I like them to win this match easily and advance to the quarter finals.

 This year the Netherlands look amazing for your Euro 2008 betting picks. They have come out fired up in both matches and have already assured themselves a spot in the Euro 2008 quarterfinals. The Dutch beat the defending World Cup Champion Italian’s in their first game by a score of 3-0. They were the better team and really brought it to the Italian’s. They showed that this game was no fluke, by following it up with another impressive victory against France, 4-1. If anyone had any doubts about the Netherlands, they have been silenced. Group C was said to be the “group of death”. The Dutch made quick work of it, making it look to easy.
It is hard to believe that the Netherlands only major tournament win was back in 1988 at the European Cup, 20 years ago. They have made 3 semi-finals since, in 1992, 2000 and again in 2004. The Dutch can’t seem to get past that last hurdle and move on. They have a world class coach, in Marco Van Basten and a very talented squad with both veterans of the game and new and upcoming youngsters. Van Basten was one of the world’s finest strikers and helped lead the Dutch to the 1988 win over Russia for the Euro Cup. He still has a lot to prove, but seems to be well on his way in proving his critics wrong. Currently Euro 2008 betting odds at SportBetting.com have the Netherlands as +200 underdogs heading into their next match against Romania on Tuesday as they will be resting their good players. The Netherlands are going to rely on their key 3 players to help them in this magical Euro 2008 run. Ruud van Nistelrooy has proved that he can still play and is one of the best. He is an excellent striker and has one goal for the Netherlands so far. He has scored in 4 consecutive group match finals in the Euro Cup. Right by his side is Wesley Sneijder who showed just how dangerous he can be. He scored in both matches, and has helped secure a quarter final berth for the Dutch. Last and surely not least is Arjen Robbenson. He is now healthy and his speed and skill on the ball is excellent. With this combo of these 3 players, I like the Dutch to go very deep in Euro 2008, and possibly win it all.

 The Euro 2008 is well under way and many handicappers have increased their bankroll with a few Euro 2008 bets. There have been many Euro 2008 odds favorites winning as well as several surprise teams getting their Euro 2008 victories. On Saturday, June 14th a huge Euro 2008 odds matchup will take place between Sweden and Spain. This Euro 2008 game will determine who will advance to the next round as both teams have 1 win and 3 points. Spain started off the Euro 2008 tournament in impressive fashion by beating Russia 4-1 in Innsbruck on Monday. David Villa had a hat trick for Spain and became only the 7th player to do so in Euro Cup history. Sweden joined Spain later that day when they defeated the reigning champions, Greece, by a score of 2-0 in Salzburg. Zlatan Ibrohimovic and Petter Hansson notched goals for Sweden on route to the Euro 2008 win.
Tomorrow the target for both sides is going to be to build on their winning starts. These two teams have a history together and they will need little introduction to each other. They played one another in their Euro 2008 Cup quailifying games. Each team claimed a home victory over the other so it will be interesting to see what develops on netrual terf. Sweden beat Spain 2-0 early on in the campaign on October of 2006. Spain gained their revenge with a 3-0 win at home in Santiago on November 17 of last year. This match secured Spain’s qualification and also meant that they would finish 2 points above Sweden in Group F. Currently the Euro 2008 odds at SportsBetting.com have Spain as -154 favorites heading into tomorrow’s match. Overall Spain have gotten the better of the two countries in head to head meetings. They were 2-1 winners back in the 1920 Olympic Games. The matches ever since have produced 4 wins for Spain, 3 for Sweden and 4 draws. Saturday’s action is going to prove to be very interesting as both teams will come in poised and hungry for the victory. I think that they are fairly evenly matched, with a slight edge going to Spain in the goal scoring department. Make sure you watch all the action.

 Euro 2008 betting action is continuing to intensify as more and more matches are being played. Each nation knows that with each passing game, the importance grows. One slip up could end a teams chances at winning the Euro 2008. Italy knows this first hand as they lost their important first match to the Netherlands 3-0. There next Euro 2008 match is against Romania, which will take place on Friday and will be a critical one. If they lose this game they will be out of Euro 2008 contention, so it is a must win for them. Italy will need everyone to come together and play as a team. They will also need some goal support from top striker Luca Toni, who came close to scoring against the Netherlands, but did not manage to find the back of the net. Currently Euro 2008 betting odds at Sportsbook.com have the Italians as -154 favorites heading into Friday’s Euro 2008.
Although Italy suffered a heavy beat to the Netherlands their spirits are not broken and their expectations are still very high. The Italian coach, Roberto Donadoni took many bright spots out of this match. He was very happy the way his substitues played for him in the Euro 2008 mathcup. He also liked the scoring chances that they produced and is confident if they play the same way, goals will come. Italy will unite as a squad of 23 players and will all try to pull together to win the Euro 2008 match. They will try their best to prove they are a top Euro 2008 team against Romania. Italy also recognises that they will need to change a couple things after Monday’s serious setback. It’s tough when you only play 3 matches in the group. You cannot afford any slip ups. On paper Italy is one of the strongest and most talented squads of the Euro 2008 teams playing. They will have to prove their worth tomorrow if they want to remain in the Euro 2008.
