HERE’S A GREAT CHANCE TO WIN BIG ON SOCCER 10

EURO 2024 is gathering momentum and TAB soccer customers have a great chance to win big on the tournament in tonight’s R150,000-added Soccer 10 pool, which spans two days and contains five European Championship games.

WITH NO MBAPPE HOLLAND MAY HAVE THE EDGE

The EURO 2024 matches in the pool include what promises to be the best clash of the competition to date as the Netherlands take on France in Leipzig tonight in a contest likely to decide the winner of Group D. France beat the Dutch when they last clashed, but are likely to be without their iconic striker Kylian Mbappe and that could tip the scales in favour of Holland.

Tonight’s Soccer 10 is one of four-cash boosted pools this weekend and all contain matches at EURO 2024, which in little more than a week has already put the spotlight on a group of young stars. Youngest of all is Spain's Yamine Lamal, who at 16 should really be in school, but instead is tearing it up for La Roja. The Barcelona sensation is clearly a player to look out for - and not just in this competition but possibly for the next two decades.

Hosts Germany have got off to a fine start at the Euros with 21 year-old Jamal Musiala dazzling in attack and scoring two goals in as many matches. Musiala's goal against Scotland in the opening match was hit with such force that Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn could barely blink before the ball hit the back of the net.

The Bayern Munich talent added another against Hungary and looks set to be key if Germany are to go all the way in front of their fans. England’s Jude Bellingham and Portugal's 21-year-old attacker Francisco Conceicao are other young guns showing that the future of European football is in safe hands.

Meanwhile there have been some splendid performances from some of the “golden oldies”. Germany's Toni Kroos has excelled in his last tournament before hanging up his boots, while N'golo Kante rolled back the years with an astounding performance for France against Austria.
