Eh, just realised my matchup is with casper. So I didn't need to rush and worry about submissions. False joy at the first question then. Shold have attempted the freebet run instead.
Guys what does everyone think about the game Romania - Slovakia and the fact that both know a draw would be in quite the best interest for both teams?
Famous game, was barely opening my eyes then when it played out, but yeah, we've seen disgraceful games like that over the years. Just with a lot more acting to cover up the obvious shame. They've since played games like that on the same time (but you know, even at half time if a result is similar, and no chance whatsoever, both teams in their stand would probably still play a draw, just much less overtly).
Countless Premier League games played last 10 minutes or so satisfied with a draw. Even Liverpool-City are guilty of that. Not a huge impact, but nevertheless, impactful. And I can't remember but when Liverpool played a B side, losing to their opponents, the opponent's relegation or cup rival (can't remember which) complained. I actually agreed here. Disgrace never to play your best to win.
Years before Gijon, an English football team delayed a kickoff on purpose, so that another important match could play out first. Now clubs get punished even for 1 minute delay, as was recently the case with BVB.
Wouldn't the backlash be a hundred times harder than 42 years ago? Times have changed and the whole world can see it. Would even their own fans be proud of that? Any Romanian or Slovakian around here?
Watch this 2013 game:
https://youtu.be/bDtljx7UPmYModern fans. Palace was leading their game, ensuring that if Huddersfield and Barnsley keep at 2-2, both are safe from relegation. When the players finally understood around 1:30. Watch them all just refuse to play. Defenders AND attackers telling the keeper not to play the ball. And then ref blows whistle before 4 minutes injury time is up as I guess even he understands it's over.
Fans invade the pitch, both fans celebrating (despite Palace result actually not confirmed haha). No yellow cards. Does that answer your question about how times have changed?
Just wow man... but I believe there is nothing you can do about it right? Are there any rules in place? Today the backlash would probably be bigger, but if the worst comes to the worst, I guess it could happen all the time again.
It's insane how all favorites are failing. I have had some over/under correct and each time combined it with the win of a favorite team. Well, no need to tell you guys that many of the results were totally unexpected. European Championship is so different. Can't be compared with any club competition at all. Now Georgia is leading against Portugal although Portugal has a lot of good players on the pitch. Even if Portugal doesn't need the win, you would still think that there is no way they can win that. It's not like Darmstadt could beat Leverkusen because Leverkusen doesn't need the points anymore...
Edit: Georgia leading 2-0. I understand Portugal has passed the group stage already, but I can't see how this is possible. They are ranked 75th in the world, first European Championship and lead 2-0 against Portugal. It makes no sense.
We still have a tie right now. The volleyball question is really tense and I hope I can predict it correctly. 
It is getting more excited while the champion is getting closer to be determined.
