Lol at the description of 'aftertiming' 'AfterTiming When a person claims to be on the good side of a bet or prediction after the result without proving any evidence before or during the event. For this sub you may not make the bet, but you may give another degenerate gambler a good idea, he...

That made me laugh for some reason. His eyes are very far apart. He's like the anti-Ryan Gosling in eye spacing.

Yeah I predicted that too, and Fati told me off lol. I do think the Swiss can beat them though. I wouldn't even consider it an upset either. Italy have regressed and the Swiss are a solid side.

No problem. I agree that will be a very balanced game. Should be quite tight.

You could be right on England-Slovakia, as a Scot I hope you are - the sooner they're out the better. You meaan France-Belgium? Portugal and France don't play each other this round. Or do you mean you predicted both their games to be 2-2?

Possibly yes. But I just have a feeling they might do a little better in this round. I did consider 1-0 or 2-1, though.

Quite fitting that The Boys season 4 is airing during this tournament. It has been said many times but he's definitely like Homelander.

I agree, but funnily enough that often happens during the club season lol. People watch four games a day Saturday and Sunday from different leagues. But there's much more choice there.

They beat (drew with then penalties) France in R16 last time. There's always an 'upset' and Swiss defeating Italians might be it (not that I consider it as such). I may change to penalties or Italy win still, but I just have a hunch. yeah France-Belgium could be a tight one, hence me only going...

Early predictions for the R16 It is sort of bugging me that I haven't picked any draws (games that go to penalties are recorded as a draw in this prediction game, extra time counts even if the game is a draw after 90 mins so long as there's a winner after 120) but I will probably make some...

From what I have seen of Federer, he's definitely like the Messi or Maradona of tennis; he's a genius with the ball/racket, and can do things that very few other players can do. From an eye test/qualitative standpoint, he makes the game worth watching. He might not always win, though he has won...

I think they did that in previous Euros. Had three games some days for round of 16. At 2, 5 and 8 (UK time). They clearly see it as more balanced having 4 days times 2 games, plus it's closer to the evening in Europe so better for the fans and TV ratings. What they could have done is spaced...

Exactly, said it many times. Intelligence and critical thinking skills are more important in analysing football, than actually being good at football. For instance, Ferguson, Pep (great player but not an all-time great) and Mourinho are miles better managers and coaches than Maradona or Pele...

Lol at referring to yourself in the third person too, class A shithousery.

As an extremely casual fan of tennis (know the best players, like how fun it is, but never watch it) this made me laugh. It's friendly and inviting as well as condescending at the same time. It seems like Novak vs Roger is like Ronaldo vs Messi - one has stats and sheer numbers going for him...

I know, but nothing is up to the fans to decide - doesn't stop millions of fans talking football on the internet and in pubs, though. That pedantry aside, I have mixed feelings, as my comments on recent pages will attest to. I do agree though that the overall quality in European international...

I think the likes of R9 finds football boring now because it is more methodical and regimented. In his day there was less pressing, less coaching players within an inch of their lives, and more room for magic and off the cuff stuff. This was possibly even more true in the 90s and the 2000s than...

I wouldn't even consider that an upset. Switzerland are a very solid team and the Italians don't have the players of years gone by. Plus the Swiss eliminated France in Euro 2020, admittedly it was an unbelievable game but it shows they can beat decent teams.

Yeah I know. But I just picked them out randomly as they were so bad in this tournament. They also haven't qualified for a Euros since 2000 until this year I believe, so it's not like they have loads of credit in the bank and recent past performance in this tournament. I totally agree about the...

True, they aren't worse teams. But that's tournament football - lesser teams will sometimes prevail and better teams will sometimes go out. That's how it works when the sample size is so small (3 games) - luck and moments become a bigger factor. For example, Georgia are a worse team than Serbia...
