Group F at Euro 2024 kicks off on Tuesday evening in Dortmund with Turkey facing Georgia in what could be a pivotal match in the group.
With Portugal and Czech Republic also in the group, and Portugal the heavy favorites to top the table, the remaining three teams will likely be competing for second place.
Turkey
Turkey’s best performance in a European Championship was reaching the semi-finals in 2008, but they failed to progress past the group stages at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020.
The Crescent-Stars are aiming to advance to the round of 16 in this tournament and are favored to win against Georgia on matchday one.

With all eyes falling on the Red Bull Arena on Monday night, Italy will travel to Leipzig when they meet Croatia.
Croatia
Starting with Croatia, while the Blazers might have sprung an almighty World Cup upset out in Qatar 18 months ago as they clinched a famous bronze medal finish, Zlatko Dalic’s camp have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability this time around. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at the hands on Albania on Wednesday afternoon as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in Hamburg, Croatia know that nothing less than three points will be enough to keep their fading knockout stage dreams alive. Opening their EURO 24 adventure with a nightmare performance on June 15th as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming…
Competition: Euro 2016
Market: France to win against Germany
Odds:
France welcome Germany to the Stade Vélodrome for tonight’s Euro 2016 semi-final clash, and are slim favourites to come out on top against the World champions to reach the final.
Both sides are unbeaten in the tournament but have contrasting qualities which could well decide the outcome in what is expected to be a close affair.
Germany topped Group C with seven points from a possible nine. They beat Northern Ireland and the Ukraine, while drawing against Poland to make it through the knockouts. Joachim Loew’s men then dispatched of Slovakia in the last-16, before beating Italy on penalties in the quarter-finals.
As for their opponents, France won Group A also with seven p…
Lee Carsley revealed that John Stones will lead out England in their Nations League clash against Greece on Thursday, with Harry Kane set to start the encounter on the bench.
Stones, who has made 81 caps for the Three Lions since his debut in 2014, will captain his nation for the first time at the start of a match.
During Gareth Southgate s tenure, only Kane (81) and Kyle Walker (70) made more appearances than Stones (68 level with Jordan Pickford).
The Manchester City defender has become a mainstay in the England side in recent years, helping his nation to their two major tournament final appearances in consecutive European Championships.
It s everything I could have dreamed of as a kid. More for my family, to be able to see me walk out as England cap…

Burnley will look for their first league win since the appointment of Brian Laws, while Chelsea will attempt to continue their steamrollering of the Premierleague.
Burnley haven t exactly struggled since Brian Laws took charge, with only a couple of tough games under their belt, but they face another very challenging afternoon at home to Chelsea. The Squad looks to be in good shape ovrall, but I think Burnley will miss the experience and quality of Caldwell and Bikey in defence, with both suffering from injuries. The Burnley players will be looking to impress their new coach with the january window drawing to a close, and I think we might see a real battling performance from the players.
Chelsea s season goes from strength to strength and any neutral would expect to see…
The 2019-20 UEFA Europa League group stage is finally over. After six matchdays, 24 teams have moved into the knockout stages. With the addition of the eight third-placed teams from the UEFA Champions League group stage, 32 squads will take part in the tournament s Round of 32 starting February next year.
There were some notable surprises throughout the group stage. For instance, Malmö topped Group B, PSV Eindhoven couldn t move past Group D, and Borussia Monchengladbach finished third in Group J. Other well-known teams that have been eliminated in the group stage are Feyenoord, St. Etienne and Lazio, just to name a few. Sevilla (15) points were the best team during the group stage followed by Sporting Braga (14 points). Four teams ended with 13 points: FC Basel, Manchester Un…
Team to Watch: Arsenal
Arsene Wenger s club are coming off of back-to-back victories for the first time this season. But those two victories were against Shrewsbury Town and Bolton Wanderers, who are bottom of the Premier League table. Nonetheless, the Gunners may finally be turning around their season.
Did You Know?
There have been 33 goals scored in the ten games Arsenal have played in 2011-12.
It would be a safe bet to expect more of the same, with Arsenal either scoring or conceding a healthy number of goals.
Players to Watch: Fernando Torres and Juan Mata
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has finally found some of his Liverpool form over the past three games. Torres has tallied two goals and three assists in that span. He looks a legit…

What time is it? Time to start your Christmas shopping, fool!
The holiday shopping season seems to start earlier every fall and if you’re like me, you love a deal. I make it a mission not to pay full price for anything, including NFL futures.
As the 2022 NFL season soon hits the midway mark, there are a number of discounted NFL odds out there, as the schedule throws us curveballs and the markets overreact to the first-half results. There’s still plenty of football to be played and plenty of value on the futures board, if you know where to look.
