Think I am probably out of the running now, sitting on 17 points. Dittoup & ralle plus a couple more, superb round so far already. I will be happy just to get to the final if I can.
That England vs Switzerland game was awful. England and France haven’t got out of 1st gear but find themselves in the semi finals. I hope the remaining games are more exciting.

There are 2 people with 0 points in the quarter finals round and one of them is me. 
There are only 4 questions left and I'm getting more worried as time goes on. Because there are only 3 people with 1 point at the same time. It is getting more difficult for me to secure myself for next round. I thought England would win in regular time but they even got behind. Netherlands - Turkey is going on with a low tempo now so I don't know whether I will be able to make a correct prediction on the 7th and 8th questions either.

Most part of England - Switzerland games was such boring that I even switched to watch how Swiatek is getting eliminated from Wimbledon. It looked that both teams started to play already thinking about penalties.
England reached semifinal with such ugly football, now I don't see any reasons why they can't reach final. At least, got point from this game, but in general, not doing great at all.

England have been the most boring team to watch in this Euro competition, each and every of the matches have been nothing short of bore fest, there has been no ounce of entertainment watch them.
I really can't pick which team is the most boring of all time, Chelsea under Mourinho, Man United under David Moyes or this English squad under Gareth Southgate.

England again find a way to win. They and France seem to have it in them to win matches without particularly playing well and have both made it to the semi finals, this increases the odds of either France or England winning (my pick in the pre-round tournament), I will much rather have France win it than England however.
I must say the margin for errors in penalty shootouts have been very low, everyone is scoring them, so if you miss one, be rest assured you will be going out.

Fell asleep for both games, too many expectations on paper and too little work on the field; it's becoming the norm for a team with so many talented players to underperform. We're dealing with a similar situation here: Nigerian players spread over Europe, yet when they play together for the national team, they play like shit.
Well, back to the boring and awful PK shootouts. It's boring when you miss only one kick and lose the game; what happened to missing two kicks and still winning the game? Any PK shootout that doesn't go to the second round is not something I enjoy watching.
Are we really going to let France win the Euros without an open play goal? Nobody deserves it more than the Netherlands honestly.

Yeah the team difference was only in paper as from what we saw on pitch as I saw the game completely and England was really lucky to get to the penalties as Switzerland had the biggest chances and even hit the post in the second half of extra time.England surely is playing a very ugly football and they only managed to hit the goal once but that single shot was goal,in fact they have shoot in totally 3 shots on goal in all their games and three shots were goals,this shows that despite not being able to show a great football they have done well to qualify so far and now they wait I think their opponent from Netherlands game if I am not mistaken,which should be another passable opponent in my opinion,at least I got a point from Kane not scoring in the pool.

There is still a chance for Kane to score, but I would rather that Switzerland goes to the swmi final and Kane not to score.
I dislike England team as well (I mean, whats to like anyway) and have Kane to score, but I like the chance of winning 0.1 BTC way more than I dislike them. 
So, in the ideal scenario Kane scores, Switzerland then equalizes and in the end England lose on penalties. But its too late for that now, only few minutes left.
July 06, 2024, 12:52:29 PM
Come on England! Don't be good now! You got the equaliser so just stay down and stay still so I can grab a precious 2 points from here =p
Actually thought it was over once Embolo scored, and then my man Saka makes sure things go even. I know it's a few minutes left but this old guy has got to go to bed, so hoping to wake up tomorrow to some good cheer.
Even better, England out in Pens! Signing off, JinxKing

Switzerland had such good opportunity to shock England in the last minute, but Embolo touched the ball and the other player (I didn't see which one) missed the ball. Too bad. Another draw and another answer without a point. There is still a chance for Kane to score, but I would rather that Switzerland goes to the swmi final and Kane not to score.

I can't tell you how much I already missed out all in all from Spain, from Argentina, and from Messi and Morata. And even worse Pedri went off injured so I don't even know if he is going to feature anymore, hope it was more precaution than anything else. That guy has more injuries than he deserves, I feel so bad for him.
Germany out, England next please. We really don't need them.

I read somewhere that he was injured and that he probably won't be playing anymore in the Euro. I'm not sure if that's just media's speculation or a formal decision. But Olmo did pretty good job replacing him with a goal and an assist.
I really hope that Switzerland can kick England off in today's game.
July 06, 2024, 10:44:17 AM
I had Spain to win in the BSFL and here I had Morata or Fulkrug to score a goal. Morata is out so I have to hope that Fulkrug will score. However, I would much more like Spain to win the game. I don't like Germany

BTW, how was that not a penalty for Germany? It's as clean as it gets.
Have no idea, as clear as it gets. I can't imagine in what world the ref does not go to double-check that on VAR monitor. Also no one was really blocking the ref's view and yeah it was a clear penalty from ref's pov as well. Even if he is not sure with that, VAR should have been checked. Germany just got robbed but I gotta say Spain played much better, cant wait for Spain - France
Yeah, I forgot to comment on that penalty. I can't believe that VAR didn't interfere in that decision. But the referee was terrible from the start of the game when he should give Kross a yellow card.
Nah give a break for Kross, that was his last game with Germany though. If only he could get further with German, he could probably win Ballon D'or as well as final gift of his proffesional career

Lol
I knew Morata most likely wouldnt score but Fullkrug could have thats why I chose Yes on that question and also penalty shootout was included as well so most likely if the game ended in peanltu shootout, fullkrug could have been chosen as first five kicker so yeah too bad that the game didnt end with a penalty shootout

Yeah, that's how I was thinking also. Morata wasn't in my calculations as a goal scorer, but I expected that Fulkrug will score. But it's OK. Now I'm rooting for Portugal to score to give me two points. The game is not that interesting like Spain-Germany, but it's not that boring as I expected it to be.
July 05, 2024, 02:57:12 PM
But you all wait, I need to know who graded the LMS spreadsheet result for the both team to score, because that grading took barely minutes, as though they were waiting for the German goal already, and I don't think that was any form of automation, was it ? 
I'm close to the top so I'm sleeping in the spreadsheet
Most of the time we grade as we watch, it takes 30 sec to do and gives all of you a better experience in a competition like this.
I won 2 points but that Fullkrug miss saved my ass, would have been 0 instead.

It wasnt, either cryptofrka or trofo must have been watching the game while having the spreadsheet opened infront of them.
This stupid play by Spain in the end of the second half costed me a point in the BSFL and I also lost a point here because Morata and Fulkrum didn't score. Ducking duck

Damn, it was finally worthy game, something that we expected. And when we already were preparing for penalties (and you know that Germany don't lose on penalties), Merino get so much freedom from Rudiger and scores perfect goal.
Haven't seen game with so many yellow cards for a while, if I count correctly there was 16 cards shown, including with players not on the pitch.
It's the end of glorious Toni Kroos career. Even though he spent mostvof career at Real, I will miss him playing.
