Not the same without the Greeks and their fans. Hope you're doing well mate.

@Carnivore Chris How do you rate this Spanish squad?

I randomly just noticed Greece are not in the competition. What happened @Fusion I know your group was tough, but what about the play-off? Not so great generation of players or just a bad game? Do you think you will be fine for 2026?

I think we fielded too many players to make the final pass but only one to receive them, and even Ronaldo himself wasn't always in the right position or making good runs. The amount of crosses and passes to the box that found no one was puzzling. Fernandes, Bernardo, Leão all need to see the bench in matchday 2 imo. I really like Neto, and I want to see Jota starting a game, he was very good.

I think Portugal score 3 here. This line up is crazy.

That's me.

I have to say Ronaldo as well. I think we make the semis which could be enough. I'm more interested in the player with more goals+assists, which will probably be between Havertz, Fernandes, Bellingham and Mbappe.

A few other sides can field a line up arguably just as good as ours but I think we have the best squad all around as we have no weak position and our bench is premium.

Spain the only side that was truly tested as they faced a supposedly strong side, and they sure passed the test. Spain faithful to themselves. Beautiful pressing and passing with intent, never for the sake of it.

Best game of the tournament so far for me. Sesko is some player. Looks like many English clubs are looking to sign him this summer. Excited to see more of him.

Serbia probably deserving of a draw in the end. Serbia the tallest and possibly strongest squad in the competition. Some credit has to be given to Stones and Guehi for conceding only 0.17xG. I still expect England to win some game in this group by 6 goals. They'll click eventually. Bellingham very good in the first half. He will be confident for the tournament which is important for the team.

I've got these for now. Croatia to finish top 2 in their group @2.00 France to reach the final @2.85 Slovakia to not qualify from their group @1.80

Mallorca or draw Barcelona win

Under 3.5 match goals in both fixtures.

Finally back to winning. New manager bounce for Villarreal and thank you Lyon for being so shit at scoring goals.

Villarreal or draw Under 3.5 match goals

Sporting Lisbon or Draw Over 1.5 match goals

Yea seems like a bait to be fair, I'm just hoping they don't concede two goals either way.

Boavista to score a goal: Boavista looking decent so far, 5th best side in the country probably, have scored in every game so far except against top of the table Sporting Lisbon. Rio Ave are relegation material this season and don't know how to win a game currently. Experts at conceding goals too. I think away 'draw no bet' looks good as a single too. Cartagena under 1.5 team total: Top vs bottom. Leganes have kept clean sheets against way stronger teams so far. I don't see how they concede two in a game that should be a low scoring affair anyway.

Over 1.5 match goals Under 3.5 match goals

@Dan I can take the loss mate, it's fine. I thought I could take this week's picks early even though you had not updated the table yet. I knew what I was doing and I lost the bet so it's only fair it's counted as a loss.

It's monday so I'll get mine in for the week Russia to win Venezuela vs Chile - Over 1.5 match goals

Here is a longer version. The guy thinks Israel have the right to do their own Dresden in Gaza and its no one's business if they do. Only the death toll won't be 25k, it will be much higher. There's two million people there in a small area and half are under 18.

They left some of the best players out, even had a 15 year old starting. Threw the match. Club is in shambles anyway. Playing in the 3rd tier for the first time in their history and struggling. Played UEFA competitions eariler this century. Second one was stat based. Neither of those teams really see more than 3 goals in their games. 0 in their last 13 combined.
