He’s +600 to score the most goals of anyone I the tournament, he should have a good chance to be the top scorer as good as be Bryner is, he more of a setup guy than a scorer.

De Bruyne is not a scorer. Hazard is the best player on Belgium when healthy. He probably need a good 4 matches to get back in that form.

Lukaku is always a threat to score the most goals in an international tournament. But there are too many guys to choose from. Goals scored is a crapshoot, I'd rather bet on the best player of the tournament, who I think will be Mbappe.

Agree de bryner is not a scorer, but I don’t agree with you on mbappe. Goat the difference is lukaku is Belgium’s only great scorer, France has many scorers, so no one French player is likely to be scoring most of the goals the way lukaku likely will be.

Best player of the tournament isn't the highest goal scorer. Those are two separate awards.

France already having some bickering going on with benzema. I wouldn't have put him in the squad. France known for these issues in the past.

You are missing my point, France has many good scorers so no 1 French okayer is likely to score the most goals of the tournament.

Not good. I don't like drama like that on a team I'm high on. I think Benzema and Giroud are both kind of drama kings. But Benzema is good. Him and Kante Mbappe Griezman Pogba Dembele...team is stacked to the max, hopefully they can get over the drama. France's bench is better than some starting teams in this tournament. I think this is France's last year to really make some noise. They are a team that dominates possession and can seemingly create scoring chances out of thin air.

That's fine, I didn't take anyone from France to score the most goals. And it probably could be likely that they can anyway, because I expect them to play the most games.

I don't care about club soccer. It's meaningless to me. The only thing that matters is what you do on the international stage and Hazard has come through big for national teams. Hazard was the best player in the world cup tournament 3 years ago based on the eye test. That doesn't go away suddenly, sorry.

Yup. Easily better. People said the same thing to me 3 years ago during the world cup. Hazard finished 2nd or 3rd as player of the tournament and was the life force behind Belgium's run while De Bruyne was a ghost for most matches.

A lot changes in 3 years goat, look at what Lebron is now versus what he was 3 years ago.

Prove it then on the itnernational stage. Don't wanna hear about your mickey mouse club days.

What exact drama has happened with Benzema now?

And I don't mean what happened years ago. I mean now.

TEAM TOP GOALSCORER FOR TOURNAMENT

LUKAKU -120

I think over the course of the entire tournament, Lukaku should be the main star for Belgium here. I don't see anyone taking more shots than him on Belgium. These are pretty good odds. Game to game it's tough to pick who's gonna score but when you have a larger sample size, you go with the best striker on the team. I think when healthy Hazard is the best and most dynamic player, like he was at the world cup, but he's a little banged up right now and will have to work himself into shape during the tournament.

See good value here for a team I project to go very far or all the way.

Adding:

FRANCE TO WIN IT ALL +450

Big play.

France may not get out of that group. Huge letdown spot after winning the World Cup.

Anything's possible but best roster by far, all in their primes.

France was in the 2016 euro cup final.
France won the 2018 world cup.
It's only natural that they will compete for this euro.

This is usually how it works when you get a very dominant team. They make a good 8 year run.

POLAND +450 FULL TIME RESULT

1-0 Slovakia. Currently halftime.

Goat Milk · 06-14-21, 09:00 PM

France +159 @ Germany

Goat Milk · 06-16-21, 10:57 AM

Turkey +180 vs. Whales

Have to play the odds here.

Goat Milk · 06-17-21, 10:40 AM

BELGIUM -105 vs. Denmark

Lot of emotion for Denmark today naturally. Normally this would be a pound play, but Denmark is a big question mark and could surprise us due to the circumstances, so going light on it. Belgium is one of the elite teams in the world.

Goat Milk · 06-17-21, 12:57 PM

Man this team is loaded. One of the only true threats to france imo.

Goat Milk · 06-18-21, 10:55 AM

Croatia +120 vs. Czechs.

Goat Milk · 06-19-21, 09:13 AM

FRANCE +187 live vs. Hungary

slayer14 · 06-19-21, 09:15 AM

Considering the past history between these countries i cant see Hungary giving France many goal chances, they going to have to create some dynamic goal chances have france.

Possible yeah, but you can't turn down those odds. France just needs 1 then Hungary will start pressing.

Allure · 06-19-21, 09:18 AM

France getting exposed?

Allure · 06-19-21, 09:21 AM

France needs Giroud. Benzema is a soft pussy. Szalai is eating him alive.

is that right? at budapest, interesting. where could i see the history of a specific national team coming to a specific stadium like that?

Allure · 06-19-21, 09:52 AM

Today we saw that France won't win dikk. Also Mbappe folding as always when it matters.

pavyracer · 06-19-21, 09:56 AM

Another draw. France backers buried.
