IT’S Ireland v Ibrahimovic today – and while no country is a one-man team Martin O’Neill will be sure to target the Swedish superstar. Ibrahimovic dragged the Swedes kicking and screaming to France through the play-offs and will be keen to impress on the international stage for the final time. If it wasn’t for the presence of Zlatan – in […]

SPAIN begin the defence of their crown today and should start with three points. Vicente del Bosque’s men are a best 1-2 at the likes of Ladbrokes to sink the Czech Republic despite arriving in France with no proven international strikers. The wily manager chose to leave out Fernando Torres and Diego Costa so the onus will be on Alvaro […]

ONE of the biggest games of the first round sees Italy and Belgium clash – two teams who hope to go deep into the tournament. Both will expect to beat other Group D rivals Sweden and Ireland and the importance of the game could see the sides fight out a draw. Italy were one of four teams alongside Austria, England […]

TURKEY impressed in their recent friendly against England and should give much-fancied Croatia a good game. These nations are two of the tournament “dark horses” although it’s Croatia with stars such as Mario Manduzkic, Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic who are more fancied. In his previous spell in charge Fatih Terim led the Turks to the semi-finals of Euro 2008 and the England […]

ONE of my antepost tips is a Germany/Poland dual forecast in Group C. That’s a winner if they finish in the top two in any order and both should get off to winning starts tomorrow. First up it’s Poland against Northern Ireland and the late game sees Germany take on Ukraine. Michael O’Neill’s Northern Ireland side did superbly to qualify for finals […]

MOST of the attention and money will be on Saturday’s games featuring Wales and then England but first up we have Switzerland v Albania in Group A. The Swiss are second favourites behind France but have one just once in nine finals outings and have never won their Euro opener. They do, however, have a good record against Albania with […]

ENGLAND expects – but not as much as usual and that could go in their favour. Flopping spectacularly in recent finals has lowered fans’ sights and there are question marks over boss Roy Hodgson and his defence. However, a perfect 10 qualifying campaign plus the introduction of some young, hungry attackers are positives. I expect England to make a run […]

NO side – apart from maybe Portugal or Sweden – relies as much on one man as Wales do so Gareth Bale will have to be at the top of his game in France. The Welsh open their campaign against Slovakia and I don’t think they have enough to win. In fact they don’t have much more than Bale and […]

WE’VE been counting down the days with various antepost and match bets – and today’s the day. Euro 2016 kicks off with hosts France against Romania and let’s hope we start with a cracker. Tournament openers often disappoint but the French have so many star turns so hopefully they’ll turn up against a side that’s tough to beat. France are […]

THE TPC Southwind, which this week hosts the 59th edition of the FedEx St Jude Classic, is one of the most challenging par 70s on the PGA Tour. It was interesting to read that not one of the top 11 finishers last year were in the top 10 for either distance off the tee or fairways hit. So hitting it […]

THERE’S not a great field here this week for the the Lyoness Open at the par 72, 7417-yard Diamond Golf Course, Alzenbrugg. This is the seventh year in a row this tournament has been played at the beautiful Austrian course. Greens in regulation, driving accuracy, scrambling and putting, in fact all aspects of the game will be relevant here but GIR […]

FRIENDLIES can never be relied on but I’m pretty sure Scotland will crash to defeat in Metz tonight. Gordon Strachan chose two tough fixtures and I understand why but a weakened side could be embarrassed by the hosts with the most. The French are slight favourites to win Euro 2016 on their home patch and will be determined for a […]

WE’RE still six days away from the start of the Euros but Copa America kicks off late tonight with hosts USA v Colombia. The tournament has been increased to 16 teams with Costa Rica and Paraguay completing the Group A line-up. Jurgen Klinsmann’s men will want to make a flying start but a clash against the section favourites is a […]

THE host for this week’s Nordea Masters is the Robert Trent Jones-designed Stadium Course, at Bro Hof Slott, Stockholm which is now ranked No.2 in Europe, outside the UK. With large bunkers, bigger greens and more water, as well as the wind, to contend with this could turn out to be a close contest. Lee Westwood has won this tournament […]

IT’S back to Jack’s Place for the 41st edition of The Memorial Tournament with the top 75 on the previous PGA Tour money list taking part. Jack Nicholas designed Muirfield Village and named it after his favourite Open venue. The top five in the world are taking part with the top three of Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth […]

ATLETICO MADRID are out for revenge tonight after losing the Champions League Final to fierce rivals Real two years ago. There’s no doubt Atletico are poor relations in Spain to their city foes and Barcelona so to see them in another final is remarkable. Last time Real blew them away in extra time and it won’t surprise many if we […]

THE final match of the Scottish season takes place on Sunday with Kilmarnock trailing Falkirk 1-0 from the first leg of their Premiership play-off final. After the drama of Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final that saw Hibs salvage something from a potentially horrible campaign what can we expect at Rugby Park? I tipped goals in the first leg and got that […]

EUROPE goes cup final crazy weekend with trophies being handed out in countries such as Spain, Italy, France and Germany. It’s the end of an era for some big-game name players and managers who will want to go out on a high. Take Zlatan Ibrahmovic for example. The Swedish superstar will make his final appearance for PSG in the French […]

KEVIN MORAN, Jose Antonio Reyes and Pablo Zabaleta – that’s the answer to the quiz question which three players have been sent off in an FA Cup Final – and Mark Clattenburg is 4-1 to add to that list in normal time on Saturday. Marouane Fellaini returns from suspension and the big Belgian is bet365’s 9-1 co-favourite of four to […]

YOU could have got 6-1 on a Scottish Championship side lifting the Scottish Cup while it was a massive 40-1 for Hibs and Rangers meeting in Saturday’s final. Now McBookie.com make Rangers the red-hot 2-5 favourites to lift the trophy ay Hampden. Hibs can be backed at 7-4. McBookie spokesman Paul Petrie said: “There was always a chance we could have a […]

THE PGA Tour rolls up to the Four Seasons Resort, Irving, Texas, for the AT&T Byron Nelson Classic which has been a host or co-host for the past 30 years. Ace Venturer says: “Step forward Dustin Johnson whose record here is good (four top-10 finishes from six starts) and has made every cut. His lowest score is 62 on a […]

IT would take a brave man to pick a winner of the Premiership play-off final … Falkirk and Kilmarnock are tough to split and it could be a tie that goes all the way to the death on Sunday. The Bairns battled brilliantly to edge out Hibs in the semis and Killie should push them even harder with players such as Josh […]

THE Irish Open moves around every year and this time it is being staged on the Palmer Ryder Cup Course, The K Club, County Kildare. Ace Venturer says: “The 72-par course is parkland with plenty of water to avoid. For this great track, which hosted the Ryder Cup 10 years ago, I think accuracy, GIR and putting are going to […]

LIVERPOOL have put all their eggs in the Europe League basket so Jurgen Klopp will hope his men strike silver tonight. The German’s had a decent debut season with runs to two finals but in the bread and butter of the Premier League his side weren’t good enough. After knocking out Dortmund Klopp rested players at Bournemouth and later against Swansea, […]
