Alright ITV, don't let me down.

Isn't the Stanciu guy meant to be good? Hope Romania spring a surprise here by making it a game.

I got France I the sweep at the pub. £50 in for 24 people. That could mean a nice £1200 if they win.

I think a total of 110 people put in altogether in different "groups".

The chap who sits with us got Albania. Yeah, may as well have pissed the £50 away!

[–]manutd875 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hopefully Martial can light up this tournament and have it be like the last World Cup was for James.

[–]silkie_blondoKing Dave 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So then Real Madrid do whatever they can to sign a Galactico? /s

Seriously though I am so excited for the future of Martial that I think I care more about that than my own future.

Now that it's starting, what does everyone think of the expanded Euros? Predicted upsets?

[–]scotty1987 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Northern Ireland will get out of that group. Mark my words

[–]macAaronEGiggs 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

According to the hivemind of wizards at /r/soccer - England and Wales are going to breeze through their first games. It's not like they're playing pushovers.

[–]hpanandikarMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have Pogba and Griezmann in my Fantasy lineup. Go France!

[–]macAaronEGiggs 3ポイント4ポイント  (9子コメント)

Maybe someone can help me here. I've seen a lot of Giroud and a lot of Martial and I believe that Martial is miles beyond Giroud on most every level. Beside Martial, Giroud looks a bit like a donkey.

Is Giroud really preferred with France?

[–]scotty1987 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because giroud is actually pretty good in the central role.

There's no way martial would displace Payet. Deschamps was a main player in him going to west ham.

[–]manutd875 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's only the obnoxious Arsenal fans that say Giroud is shit, he's a decent player.

[–]Lost_And_NotFoundJones 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

France want a more target man style of striker in Giroud who also plays very well for the national team normally. Payet will also drift in field and Griezmann pushing up high so it can flick between.

Payet - Giroud - Griezmann

and

- Giroud - Griezmann -
------- Payet -----------

[–]larry_b_s_zombieGolemín 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

I might be mistaken here, but I don't think Martial has scored for France yet.

[–]macAaronEGiggs 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

He hasn't. No goals in 9 appearances. I have a bit better of an idea now.

[–]FraajMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He had some amazing assists from the LW position tho.

[–]DatGuyRichJose Mourinho 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Giroud is godly for France and deserves to start

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Giroud plays centrally, Martial is competing with Payet as a LW. And Giroud is not as shit as people say

[–]macAaronEGiggs 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks for answering my question. I mean, Giroud's scoring record this season is pretty good. He's sitting at about a goal every two games and has scored 4 in 4 this year for France.

I like Martial playing on the left. I think he should really develop there long-term and I'm glad Deschamps thinks so too.

[–]Slyman180Herrera 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm excited to see this attacking squad France has. They're my Golden State Warriors of football.

[–]crakshayGGMU 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who is your Steph Curry of France?

Martial? :)

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

Anyone have any bets going on this game/the tournament itself?

Put money on Griezmann and Giroud to score, and a cheeky fiver on Poland to win it all @50/1

[–]DatGuyRichJose Mourinho 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Giroud anytime and France to win 3-0

We have a sweepstake in work: I got France and Portugal, so I'm watching tonight with a keen eye!

[–]Obi_Wan_Kenobi_NilJose Mourinho 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

£25 on Muller top goalscorer

[–]TimmyBashSchweinsteiger 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wanna put money on Iceland too, perhaps to qualify from their group.

[–]Surfacing710Keane 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Have one for France half/full time at evens and I've another one that covers all the of the first round of games for a fiver, win €700 if it comes through so it's basically a banker.

[–]TimmyBashSchweinsteiger 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Any German game, Muller first goalscorer.

[–]ImperitoJuan Mata 8ポイント9ポイント  (6子コメント)

Hopefully Martial does well. But I do want Romania to win, as any true Englishmen does.

[–]In_LibertyTearing You Apart Since 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

Hoping for Martial to come on in the second half and score a hat trick only for France to lose 4-3.

[–]hpanandikarMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Do you want to give everyone heart attacks right on the 1st day of the Euro?

[–]In_LibertyTearing You Apart Since 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

At least it'd be a small step towards solving our global over population problem!

[–]ImperitoJuan Mata 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes, this is ideal. Maybe a hattrick but France lose something more like 7-3

[–]cristiano10sMartial 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

As a Romanian this could not be any closer to what I wish would happen today

[–]In_LibertyTearing You Apart Since 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I suspect most United fans will be pulling for your country today. Enjoy!

[–]TimmyBashSchweinsteiger 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Keen to see this Pogba guy everyone has talked about. I actually have never seen a full game with him.

[–]mu_37 20ポイント21ポイント  (11子コメント)

Martial benched ffs,hope they fucking lose then.

[–]mufcirclejerk 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well that's completely rational

[–]Racepace 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

On the bright side, he has less risk of injury and not as tired next season

[–]bentekefriedchickenScholes 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Doesn't mean he'll be benched for the whole Euros

[–]Racepace 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ya, but even if it's one game, it's still true

[–]MadaraTheUchihahttp://www.howmanypremierleaguemedalshasstevengerrardwon.com/ 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

OR Losing 1-0 Martial comes on and scores in the 88th and 93rd minute. AND TONY HAS WON IT!!

[–]mu_37 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

yeah,let's go with that.

[–]black_squireMartial 9ポイント10ポイント  (4子コメント)

Easy there. Not unreasonable to start with Payet considering his threat on set pieces as well. Plus assuming a change is needed later in the game, Martial will prove most effective against tired fullbacks with his pace and dribbling.

[–]DesOconnorScholesy -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Still don't see why Griezmann doesn't start up top with Martial on the right.

[–]black_squireMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because crazy as it may sound, Giroud has been extremely productive for France and Griezmann has always played on the right. Martial is yet to look convincing anywhere but LW, why mess with that just to fit him into a team that's well stacked with quality?

[–]mu_37 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

i kinda half expected it,but aside from his free kicks(which aren't to be taken lightly),i think Martial has been much better for France tbh.

[–]black_squireMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh absolutely he's better. But I'm assuming just that extra threat gives him an edge. We'll see how he performs. Surely he's not guaranteed that spot
