Running total after Belgium only won at full time, not half time -4.17 units
We're out of Europe sadly, not England football team but the country as a whole, and also more happily the group stages and into the knockout of Euro 2016; with this I hope we will see some more attacking football. Because of the expansion in terms of number of teams competing, the group stage saw 3 teams qualify from most groups and this led to teams knowing that often a draw would be a good result in terms of their qualification. However, now we get to the knockout we are going to get a winner in each and every game, albeit it may take penalties to decide who progresses, and I think we will get a more attacking brand of football on offer. Penalties are a bit of a lottery, certainly England fans will not want to be relying on the dreaded spot kicks to decide their progression, and I think teams will want to avoid this if possible.
With this in mind let's progress to day 14, the first day of knockout football.
Day 14 - Goalscorer Treble
For day 14 we have three ties to choose from; Switzerland vs Poland, Wales vs Northern Ireland and Croatia vs Portugal. And it's a player from each of the three goals that I'm going to combine into a goalscorer treble for day 14's bet.
In Switzerland vs Poland I'm choosing Milik to score, he seems to be getting plenty of chances because of the attention teams are giving to his strike partner, Robert Lewandowski, and at 14/5 seems a generous price to notch.
From Wales vs Northern Ireland I'm going for the obvious; Gareth Bale. Bale has scored in each of the three games thus has a real chance of getting the Golden Boot award for top goalscorer, will be on set-pieces and is in cracking form, high on confidence. 29/20 for him.
And the final game, well it's the man who scored twice in the last game after coming under some heavy criticism for his performances prior to that; Cristiano Ronaldo. On his day he is the world's best player and Portugal will need him to be firing if they are to have any chance of progressing. And it's not like Ronaldo to miss a chance to grab the limelight, at 13/10 he completes the treble.
Day 14 - Milik, Bale and Ronaldo to score anytime @ 20.41/1 1 unit
