The football (soccer) thread
I have high hopes for Portugal since we actually have a decent coach this time.
Are they finally playing as a team, or does the entire playbook consist of “pass to Ronaldo” again? If the former, then they have a chance and should make it to at least the quarter-finals. If the latter, then they’d be better with Ronaldo on the bench, imo.
Copa America seems to be about Argentina and Colombia for now
No surprises there…
Not sure about France because of the recent problems with the team that ended up with them leaving some of the best players out (Benzema). Still, they are playing home so they’ll probably go far.
There’s rarely a correlation between “issues within the team before the tournament” and the team’s play during the tournament. More often than not it’s the inverse even: the team that’s been in-fighting and having coach troubles or whatever tends to do well once the tournament starts.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Playing better as a team, coach is the same that almost took Greece to the quarter-finals in the World Cup. Also agood mix of experience and youth. Teams seems to be less Ronaldo-dependent but of course he is still a huge factor because we don’t have a good striker so the problems still exist.
its time Portugal does something, Spain had finally won several cups the past years..
But still Portugal team of world cup 2004 was the best ever,Figo, Rui Costa, Deco, Couto and really deserved to win the cup, but shit happens,
Uh i meant Euro 2004
Hi, I’m making a prediction game for me and my friends… so I thought I post it here and maybe we can have fun, and see which forum user wins
I You need to select 16 teams (min 2, max 3 from the same group) that will go through to the knockout stage. Every guessed team is worth 5 points, for a maximum of 80 points.
II You need to predict one team that will take part in the quarterfinal, then one team that will take part in the semifinal, one team for a final, and one team to win it all. You can mix teams as you like, or just go with one team. It’s a matter of tactic. The points are 10 pts (for quarterfinalist), 15 (sf), 20 (final) and 25 (winner), for a maximum 70.
Total maximum points is 70 + 80 = 150.

This is an example of a correctly-filled prediction

No doubt, that was our best team shot at winning something. That Euro and the World Cup 2006.
2 player still on the team: Ronaldo and Ricardo Carvalho.
BTW, a friend of mine sent me this prediction:
because he didn’t understand fully my rules… but now I’m wondering: would it be perhaps better to predict this way? I didn’t want it as not to go into the knockout phase structure, but it’s probably better because there’re more chance that the winner of predictions is determined righteously. What ye say?

I already did mine but if we all agree I will put more predictions
To be honest, I’m doing this sort of thing for the first time, and I’m not sure, so your opinions matter I don’t know if I need to change the scoring system as well if we make additional guesses, or not.

I’m up for giving the full knockout roster (all quarter-finalists, all semi-finalists, both finalists and the winner).
A lot of us are going to be stuffed once the first round is over and several of the predicted quarter-finalists have to play each other in the 8th-final, but still…
Are they hosting a match to determine 3rd place? Could add that as well.
And while we’re at it: why not top goalscorer and player of the tournament as well? Maybe even most assists?
It’s just for fun anyway…

OK, let’s go with the full roster predictions! I’m afraid there’s no much time left, but let’s do it anyway. (there is no a 3rd place match at EURO, AFAIK)
