My prediction was spot on, may put some money on future ones.

Pretty sure the referees are in the pocket of the video proof lobby.

So instead of using the unified international version they're going the french route? God I hate those people.

I know I predicted a win but man, am I routing for Romania right now. I really really hope France will be gone after the group stage. Then we won't have to deal with the fucking french fans either.

It's the only explanation for ROU that I can think of. Strange, because the rest of the stuff is displayed in English. But yes, those damn French people.

It's unlikely that France or any other of the big nations will be eliminated in the group stage, thanks to the tournament mode for 24 teams where four of the six third place teams will reach the round of 16. I'd like Italy to be gone too, but I am not holding my breath.

Looking at the groups, Italy is the most likely favorite to not advance.

Oh come on, of the big nations, England is the best when it comes to disappointing people.

Italy's group has Sweden who aren't remotely strong anymore, and Ireland who are content with drinking, so they aren't in it to win anything. Meanwhile, England faces all those nasty countries nobody takes seriously. Plus England still has Rooney.

Why would England belong to the favorites when we already know they're gonna lose all games?

Your problem if you change terms. I was talking about big nations all along.

England isn't big. It's barely bigger than east Germany.

Not sure how they got picked for this competition. There are much better teams to be selected from.

Probably based on ranking fifa, they are above Honduras, Canada, Venezuela and Bolivia there

That is shocking to me. They're worse than all 4 of those teams.

Fifa rankings are generally a joke.

Anyone saw that goal from Bolivia?

Yes amazing goal. And the penalty was bs. I hope we lose with Panama. FUERA PIZZI



Messi no chill



Hopefully Mexico (or someone) crushes Chile during quater-finals. The penalty was a fraud.

Which won't be that hard seeing ho badly they are playing... I think even the US Team can do the trick.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
