Sports betting players are seeing Ireland at the European Championship for only the second time in their history, and the manager has the team playing inspired soccer. However, they’ll need more than inspiration to even get out of the group stages in Poland and the Ukraine.

Manager: Giovanni Trappattoni (since May 2008)
Best Euro Finish: Group stage (1988)
Soccer Betting Odds: +1400 to win Group B, +7000 to win Euro 2012

Offense

Ireland scored 15 goals in 10 matches during qualification and seven of them came from captain Robbie Keane, who has made a name for himself in England on a number of teams and is now plying his trade in the United States for the Los Angeles Galaxy alongside former England captain David Beckham. Keane can still finish with the best of them and he seems a lot older than 31, which makes him the perfect captain for this Irish squad. But he has to get some support and that could come on the wings via Aiden McGeady and Damien Duff if manager Giovanni Trappottoni decides to use an extra central midfielder. McGeady has long been thought of as the next great Irish star and he has played well since leaving Celtic for Sparta Moscow, and he added two goals and two assists in 2011 for the team. He is going to be crucial because it’s very likely that Keane will be the point man and he can’t do it on his own; with his trickery and pace, McGeady can really burst into the spotlight at Euro 2012.

Don’t forget about Kevin Doyle, who will be the target striker if the manager decides to use two, and the veteran Duff, who is still a threat if he can remain healthy. That has been a running theme throughout Duff’s career, and his country could really use his pace down the win in Poland and the Ukraine.

Defense

The defense could very well be the key to Ireland’s soccer betting odds this summer in a group with Spain, although they did allow just seven goals in 10 matches. Glenn Whelan and Keith Andrews will run their socks off in midfield trying to shield the likes of Richard Dunn and John O’Shea, who are great in the air and have positional sense, but they’re not quick. Sean St. Ledger and Stephen Ward should be on the outside for the Irish, and they’re going to have to stay in position to avoid leaving Dunne and O’Shea on an island.

At the back will be 36-year-old Shay Given, who is enjoying a resurgence after a tough year at Manchester City two seasons ago when he was dropped from the first team, and he is now at Aston Villa playing regular, which is nothing but good for the national team. They don’t have much else in the way of replacements for Given when he retires, and while some may be worrying about a torn hamstring that he suffered early in the season, Given played 32 matches in the Premier League for his club and should be ready to go for what could be his final tournament with the senior side. Ireland may need him to have the best week of his life just to get to the next stage, but if there is one player that Irish fans don’t have to worry about battling nerves or being overwhelmed, it is Given, who has the record with 121 caps for his country.

Intangibles

Trappattoni would have added another honor to his illustrious resume by guiding the team to the World Cup in 2010, but they were cruelly eliminated by an infamous goal against France that involved Theirry Henry and a blatant handball. The program could have fallen apart after that, but Trappattoni pulled the team together and they roared through qualification with six wins and three draws in 10 matches.

All you have to do is look at the honors for “Trap”: nine Serie A titles (two as a player), one Bundesliga crown and a number of European competitions as both a player and manager. He knows what it takes to perform at tournaments like this and that could be most important weapon that the Irish have on their side.

How It Will Play Out

Ireland’s soccer betting odds aren’t looking good for Euro 2012 as they’re rated at +1400 in Group B with Spain, Italy (Trappattoni’s home country) and Croatia, and it may be too much to ask of Ireland to even win their group. They’ll need a massive effort in all three games and a few breaks to go their way; the former, you know they’re going to give, but who knows what will happen for the latter.

The Irish could use this tournament to really state their intentions for Brazil at the World Cup in 2012, and they’re not going to be an easy out. They won’t make it to the second round, though, so stay away from Ireland’s 2012 Euro Cup betting odds this summer.

soccer betting players familiar with Portugal’s national team know that they’re powered by their superstar captain who is one of the top three players in the world, and he’ll be counted on heavily at the European Championship. However, the defense may play an even bigger role as Portugal aims to escape an incredibly tough group.

Manager: Paulo Bento (since September 2010)
Best Euro Finish: Second place (2004)
Soccer Betting Odds: +400 to win Group B, +1800 to win Euro 2012

Offense

Portugal scored 21 goals in their 10 qualification matches as they finished in second place in Group H behind Denmark, and seven came off the boot of captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who just powered Real Madrid to the top of La Liga in Spain and is one of the top soccer betting favorites for World Player of the Year. A big Euro 2012 will put Ronaldo in the driver’s seat for the award, but the criticism on the forward is, like his Barcelona rival Lionel Messi, Ronaldo has never really carried over his club play to his country. This is a massive chance to quiet those critics, especially with the competition Portugal faces in their group.

But Ronaldo has to have some help and that should come in the form of fellow striker Helder Postiga, who scored four goals in six 2011 matches, while Nani added three goals and two assists from the wing and he has the ability to be a gamebreaker for Portugal. Ronaldo is surely going to attract a lot of attention from opposing defenses and Nani provides a good outlet for the Portuguese counterattack. He has been inconsistent for Manchester United this season, but when he is on, Nani can be a handful for any fullback.

Defense

This is where the Portuguese struggled during qualification as they allowed 12 goals in 10 matches, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but in soccer that is the sign of a leaky defense. Rui Patricio seems to be the man between the sticks, but he is only 24 and has just 10 international appearances under his belt, although five of those came in 2011. Bruno Alves is the most experienced defender and should be joined by Joao Pereira, Pepe and Fabio Coentrao, but Portugal was shaky at the back and allowed three goals at home against Iceland, a team that isn’t exactly loaded with attacking options.

Miguel Veloso and Joao Moutinho will be crucial to Portugal’s soccer betting hopes this summer as they’ll have to form a defensive shield in front of the back four to take some of the pressure off Alves and company. Portugal are going to run into Germany and the Netherlands, two of the best attacking sides in Europe, and if the midfielders don’t track back and help, Portugal are going to find themselves out of the tournament quickly, no matter how many goals Ronaldo can score.

Intangibles

Paulo Bento took over the team from Carlos Queiroz after Portugal failed to make it out of the group stage at the World Cup in South Africa, and he was the federation’s second choice after another failed attempt to lure Jose Mourinho from Real Madrid. But Bento has led the side to a few big wins, such as a 4-0 thrashing of rival Spain in a friendly in November. Even though it was only a friendly, it was still an encouraging performance from the team, which lost just once in 11 matches in 2011.

However, Bento represented the national team 35 times as a defensive midfielder and he understands that Portugal has to tighten things up at the back if they’re going to win their first international tournament. Look for defense to be a priority of his leading up to Euro 2012.

How It Will Play Out

As was mentioned before, the soccer betting odds are against Portugal in this tournament’s “group of death” as they’re rated at +400 to win Group B, and then +1800 to win the European Championship. Germany is one of the pre-tournament favorites along with Spain, while the Netherlands are coming off a trip to the World Cup final and Denmark just beat Portugal to the top of Group H in qualification as the pair split two meetings. This isn’t an easy road for the Portuguese at all, and they’re going to need a superlative effort from their captain, Ronaldo,

Ok like I can imagine whats gonna happen
Like one day I was like "watch it rain in within 5 minutes!"
Like 3 minutes later it started raining and there wasn’t small drops falling or anything it just automatically started raining!:O
——
In my soccer game I was like - we r gonna win!
We wOn
——-
We were going to have a substitute for math and I was like I bet u a dollar the substitute is going to be a fat Indian dude!
-sorry if it offends u/:
We had a fat Indian dude be our sub…
——-
And now I feel like imma tie on our game!

Nope. You’re completely normal. Try being strange.

That’s not possible. You are simply imagining it.
Good luck on your game though.

i got the same thing, i think its just insight. i think some people are able to make connections that other people dont make without realizing it

haha that happens to me to and i’m like wow thats awesome so cool. but its probably a coincidence.

Just a few coincidences. If you thought you would win the soccer game you would play better. Sometimes you can pick up information without knowing you have. You may have overheard someone say the weather forecast says it will rain, then you happened to choose the right time to say- “watch it rain in within 5 minutes!”
But the teacher??? Just lucky I guess.

Wow! That’s really cool! People who write negative things are such losers! I totally believe you. Sure, you have a strange power! That’s awesome! I feel like that sometimes, too. Keep believing!

No. You just have a strange imagination!!!

Well it’s not really strange as it is common. That ”power” is called Intuition or insight it is normal in people but it rarely gets noticed so people assume it’s coincidence. It’s just an extinction of your psychic abilities and yes everyone has ”Hidden” psychic abilites. You can further develop insight by doing psychic excercises. You can research it if you want. Everyone is psychic but some are more developed than others like me,lol. i’ve studied in this field and it is real and it can be developed all you have to do is be willing and persistent. There are alot of books and sites to help with this but it’s your decision. Hope I helped

Hmm, I don’t know. I notice most of your predictions are well within the range of statistical deviation.

For instance there is an excellent chance in most areas that a substitute math teacher is going to be a fat indian guy. If you had predicted that a smokin’ hot babe would show up and instruct you to do it on the desk with her in front of the entire class- and then that actually happened- at that point I’d begin to think you are on to something.

I think we need an empirical test of your abilities. Try imagining one of the answerers here will drop dead (make it “?”, please make it “?”). Whoever it is update your question with their name and then try emailing them at the end and see if you get a response. No response = carkers = we will believe you.

Do it. Do it. But don’t pick me, I’m too curious about the outcome to be deprived of the answer. Of course if I drop dead in the next couple of days, I could take that as a sign. All right, keep me on the list of possible drop deads.

Cheers.

No it is not strange. It is intuition. Sometimes you just know things. Like sometimes a mother just knows that her child is in danger and then saves him. Probably every mother has had that happen. Keep listening to it and it will get stronger.

Baseball! The following link has lots of good info about handicapping and betting on MLB. Good luck!

I agree with W, baseball is a great sport to bet on now that soccer is over! You should also consider the fact that the 2012 Summer Olympics are coming up and there will be all sort of gambling options to consider later this summer.

Soccer betting sharps know how important homefield advantage is in soccer, and Poland may be able to ride that to a group win at the European Championship as they co-host the tournament with the Ukraine. They probably won’t go much further, but after qualifying for the first time in 2008, winning the group would be massive for this young and improving side.

Manager: Franciszek Smuda (since October 2009)
Best Euro Finish: Group stage (2008)
Soccer Betting Odds: +300 to win Group A, +5000 to win Euro 2012

Offense

Poland didn’t have to play any qualification matches as the co-hosts of this tournament, but that doesn’t mean they sat back and waited for the best in Europe to come to them, playing 15 matches since February 2011 and they still have three left to go before the tournament starts. The offense is largely a two-man show between forward Robert Lewandowski and midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski, who has captained the side since November 2010. The pair recently led Borussia Dortmund to the Bundesliga title, as well as the DFB-Pokal final, which is the first time that Dortmund has ever done the cup-league double and they’re looking to bring that success to the national team. Lewandowski is just 23 and won the Bundesliga’s Player of the Year award, while Blaszczykowski, who also goes by “Kuba”, is just 26 and should be the spine of the Polish side for years to come.

But who scores if they can’t find the back of the net? Pawel Brozek is the next best option up front, while Waldemar Sobota is an interesting option for the midfield if he is named to the team. Outside of their Dortmund duo, the White and Reds don’t have a lot going on for attacking players, so they’ll need someone to step up and support Blaszczykowski and Lewandowski.

Defense

This is where the Poles’ soccer betting chances really lie because of their attacking deficiencies and they can’t afford to allow many goals or else they’ll be out in the group stages. It appears as though Wojciech Szczesny has not only taken the No.1 goalkeeper spot from Arsenal teammate Lukasz Fabianski at their club, but also for their country and the 22-year-old doesn’t plan on letting it go anytime soon. His father, Maciej, also tended goal for the Poles, and Szczesny would love to lead his country to the next level. In terms of experience, Marcin Wasilewski, Jakub Wawrzyniak, Tomas Jodlowiec and Lukas Piszczek have the most among the defenders, and Piszczek may be the most important out of these four as he is another Dortmund player who is used to playing in front of big crowds, so he’ll be able to use the experience from this season to help his teammates deal with the pressure of being a co-host in Europe’s biggest tournament.

There isn’t a lot of depth at the back, so the Poles can’t afford many injuries, if any, alongside their back line. Szczesny has looked shaky at times for Arsenal behind a suspect and injury-prone defense, but he has also carried the team to a couple of wins when they didn’t deserve. The man between the sticks may just end up being the key to Poland’s chances this summer.

Intangibles

Smuda has been working with this team for almost three years now and know which players are going to perform under the bright lights of a tournament such as the European Championship. Being a defender during his playing days, Smuda is going to focus on the back of the team because as was mentioned before, if Poland leaks in that area, they’re going to be a world of trouble. They have also played some big-name sides while getting ready for this tournament, such as France, Argentina, Mexico and Germany, and have held their own, but those were in friendlies when teams were likely toying with formations and combinations. Smuda will have a much tougher task on his hands at the Euros.

How It Will Play Out

Soccer betting odds have Poland at +300 to win Group A, which includes Russia, the Czech Republic and Greece, and +5000 to win the tournament. Winning it all may be a bit ambitious for Poland, who only qualified for the European Championship for the first time in 2008 and fell out of the group stages, but with the home crowd behind, they could stun a few experts.

In any other group, Poland would probably have no chance, but in this group, with a few breaks the Poles can definitely get to the next stage of the tournament. If their defense can hold up, they can keep the opposition at bay and their offense will be bolstered by the Dortmund duo that had so much success during the regular season. When it comes to the championship, avoid their odds, but in terms of a group win, lay a little on Poland’s Euro Cup betting odds in 2012.

well i lost a bet on a soccer mach so i had to let them cut my hair. it looks terrible.its like to lowest cut on onto my scalp,it almost looks like im bald.schools tomorow also and i going to get teased,

Is it legal for me to place online sports bets at the club i play soccer at? i do not play for the seniors, does this matter? is there a way for them to find out where i play anyway? also what kind of repercussions are there if this isn’t allowed?
thanks!

• I’d doubt it would be allowed. It’d cause a conflict of interest. But if you like betting on football, then just stay away from your own club. Have a look at www.gamblingnetworkuk.com. It’s a forum for gambling fans, you can get tips from forum members and take advantage of great free bets and promotions.
• I don’t know about the legality where you live, but FYI, Pete Rose, one of the greatest baseball players ever, got a lifetime ban from working in MLB or getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame because he bet on baseball while he was playing. Don’t assume you’ll just get a slap on the wrists if you get caught.

Criticize this pls???

I really envy you regular humans. You don’t need to run around on quests, trying to save the world repeatedly. You get to recline on couches, watching movies while I try not to get killed. You may think we’re lucky, getting to have powers and all, but that’s just a gift we can use to avoid being killed. Those powers come in handy. Even having powers is a huge responsibility. You could easily be turned crazy, what with all the backfiring and all.
My name is Falcon Hill. I’m twelve and a half years old. I suppose I shouldn’t ramble on, so let’s get on with the story.
If you’re reading this right now, you must have survived the war. Of course, you probably don’t even know it happened. But it did happen, I assure you.
Anyway, this is an account of what happened from my last normal day to when I save the world from certain doom and destruction. In other words, that’s before the war.
How? Just what I’m about to tell you.
It was just another regular day at Greenville School. I was sitting at my desk, waiting for class to get over. Lame beginning to a great adventure? You bet. But life’s like that.
I gazed out of the window, thinking about what I could be doing if I wasn’t stuck in class listening to a lecture (sorry, teacher-child interactive session). Playing soccer outside, no doubt. Soccer is one of my favorite sports.

• learn a different language
• you sound young.
  it’s not really original, and the way you wrote it wasn’t really interesting. Seems like you read hunger games and watched the X men and felt like splicing the two.

  I mean, it’s ok. It’s not beautiful or anything… but it would make a typical young adult book

• First of all, I want to say that I’ve seen this story before. You’ve asked many questions about this story before.

  I really like the attitude in this story. I think that it’s interesting how the tone is a little sarcastic, but accurately putting things and easy to read. I think that it’s great. The plot is…well, I wouldn’t really know, because this is a super small excerpt and I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I can tell it’s going to be great!
  One suggestion though, is maybe to put a little more description in it so we can see what you’re talking about, but still leave a little bit to the imagination. Keep up the good work!

• Hmm… I LOVE criticizing But I don’t now whether I should criticize the form, or the content? I’m not interested in thinking about any literary work right now, and soo lazy to check the form of any… That’s why I didn’t go to a college for teachers Best regards

i dont know that much about soccer or (football) and im hoping someone can help me?
