The knockout stages of Euro 2008 continue this weekend with the last of the quarter-finals, as Holland face ex-coach and countryman Guus Hiddink in Basel on Saturday. Holland have been the tournaments outstanding team so far, but can Hiddink profit from Holland’s famous ability to self destruct when the pressure is on? Tune into ITV1 at 7:45pm on Saturday to find out. The final quarter final on Sunday pits two heavyweights against each other as Spain take on Italy in Vienna. Spain impressed in their opening game against the Russian’s, but had to battle hard in their final two games to top Group D. By contrast, Italy had to rely on Holland’s victory over Romania to reach this stage, and have looked strangely fragile in defence. (more…)

Euro 2008 started a little lackadaisically, but it has certainly picked up in the past week. In-running punters and, in particularly buyers of the time of the last match goal, will be licking their lips at the prospect of Friday night’s contest between Croatia and Turkey. The Turks have scored in injury time in their last two games and they scored an incredible three goals in the last 15 minutes to put them through against the Czechs.
Croatia have improved markedly in recent years and this is backed up by their 2-1 win over Germany in this year’s group phase being their third in succession against a top-10 team under Slaven Bilic. Buyers of Croatia supremacy at 0.6 will be encouraged that against teams outside the world’s top 10, they have won 10, drawn 5 and only lost once since the start of qualifying for the 2006 World Cup. Buyers will also be pleased to hear that they have never been beaten by the Turks, although they have only played three times and two have been draws. The Croats have won four of their last five, but they have only scored more than one goal in the 2-1 win over Germany. (more…)

Dodgy offside goals, shock red cards, waterlogged pitch… we’ve seen them all so far at Euro 2008. 52 goals in 22 games is not bad going.

The group stages of Euro 2008 draw to a close this weekend with the final round of games in Group A, as Switzerland face Portugal in Basel, while Turkey and the Czech Republic battle it out for qualification. Before then Spain and Sweden will both be looking to clinch a place in the quarter finals when they play in Innsbruck, and Greece and Russia look to keep their chances alive in Salzburg. (more…)
One of the eye-catching players of the tournament so far David Villa is back in action on Saturday and Paddy Power are betting on who the Spanish striker is playing for next season as well as the likelihood of him or his fellow forwards scoring a hat-trick.
The other game on Saturday is the one all commentators would have hoped to avoid when their rostas were announced - Greece v Russia. And with some real tongue-twisting names in the line-ups for the men behind the mics to get their lips round Paddy Power are betting on what will be the most number of letters in a goalscorer’s name in the match.

France take on group leaders Holland in Berne on Friday night, knowing that a defeat would leave them with a mountain to climb in terms of qualification. They can currently be bought at 25, along with group rivals Italy, in the Sporting Index outright market (where you are awarded 100 for winning, 75 for runner up, 50 for losing a semi-final, 25 losing a quarter-final and 0 for worse) and are equal seventh favourites for the title. Sellers at 22 should be aware though that the last time Les Bleus started a major tournament with a draw (World Cup 2006) they went on to contest the final. Holland started in imperious fashion against Italy on Monday night and can now be bought at 48 in the outright index. They last won a major tournament in 1988, but they have made it to the semi-finals in three of the last four European Championships since then. (more…)
