TABLE AFTER ROUND 2 @Viva la FCB just about clings on to top spot but the gap is now reduced to 2 points, as @Dan scored 20 points to climb to 2nd place. Also scoring 20 points was @The Palace Fan who shot up to 8th. But bettering those scores were @LFCMike who propels himself up to 3rd and only 3 points off top spot, and also @Spike who goes from 25th place to 12th place. Fewer shocks than Round 1 led to quite a few perfect scores - @LFCMike, @JoshBRFC, @Devil, @Spike all scoring 3 perfect scores. Particular shout-outs to @JoshBRFC and @OrangeKhrush being the only ones to correctly predict a 1-1 draw between Czech Republic and Georgia, whilst the same goes for @Tommy who correctly guessed Austria's 3-1 victory over Poland. Small margins across the table as only 4 points separate 4th to 12th ,and then 3 points separating 13th to 22nd. A big week like any of those above can make a huge difference...

Yeah I couldn't work out where that came in. There were quite a few subs, but maybe they total 3/4 mins? VAR check for the pen was quite quick too.

I give up. I can't be arsed any more

A well run club that wants to be competitive doesn’t need a sugar daddy’s blood money.

We're in an era where "OMG I love a crime documentary" is a widely held character trait for the basic, white UK person aged between 18-35 and as such, plenty of these people think they therefore have the education and ability to "solve" crimes and there's plenty of stuff on social media around this case and plenty of rumours and allegations being passed off as genuine by these people based off of anonymous Facebook comments. People are searching for controversy and micro-analysing every little thing on this "case". I also think people want news stories to be "more interesting" or put better, more dramatic than they sometimes are. Not everything is a Harlan Coben Netflix drama but these people try and make it such. Take that Nicola Bulley case last year, there was plenty of rumours and allegations around that and all it ended up being was a woman drowning in a body of water, rather than some of the suggestions online. I feel like this is similar. There's some wild theories about this out there.

Also, Estevão and Endrick are completely different players. Estevão is more of a classic winger, while Endrick is a striker. IMO Estevão is more talented and more technically gifted than Endrick. On the other hand, Endrick seems to be more mature, hence the jump to Europe might be less problematic to him. I would say that Estevão is the closest to a generational prospect since Neymar. I wouldn´t go as far to say Estevão is generational, not yet. But the way he is developing is just incredible. At age 17, he is already the best player in a very strong Palmeiras side. Rodrygo and Vinícius Jr. as a good as they were when they started, weren´t that good. So one can say for sure, at least for now that Estevão has a very high ceiling. I am not sure what Chelsea will do with all the young forward talent they have, Kendry Paez also looks great by the way.

Havertz missed about 3-4 headers. Fullkrug scores first go. Unbelievable.

I tried to do a quick count and still have 6 left but I have my 2 sets of falsies (teeth that is) or old faithful's as I call them.
