I didn't notice But Croatia will bee for sure in the Final HRV I don't think so I absolutely wouldn't mind it either and it's not even that unrealistic lol. Especially as that half of the format is by far weaker than the other one and basically everyone could go to the final.  The probably only one who won't is  England - knowing their luck in the big tournaments.
Today is the match  Switzerland vs  Sweden. The expectations are very high here (especially in the billboard papers). And then there's me who really wouldn't be surprised if we're losing this.  Also a topic in discussions is the match being at 16:00 and who can see it. |

If other days were more or less the same for everyone in terms of who you predicted to win, then today might be a game-changer.  What I mean is - both & aren't big favorites and are actually pretty similar this tournament, so it's really hard to tell, which one will win (although on paper could be called a little favorite). And also in the other game - even though most people have probably guessed  to win,  Colombia isn't a backmarker either. So the chances for both teams there are also pretty similar. Colombia is playing pretty well in defence, while England is better at attack. There is a slight potential for another big nation ( ) to go out... we'll see... |

I wouldn't say "a little favourite" (but neither huge so it's something between lol). In fact it's #6 vs #24 in the World ranking and all the big bookmakers predict us to win.

Well it's also about the luck (or unluck) of England that could decide this. |

I wouldn't say "a little favourite" (but neither huge so it's something between lol). In fact it's #6 vs #24 in the World ranking and all the big bookmakers predict us to win. Yes, but did you look at the coefficients those bookmakers give? They are very close. As much as I've looked around for those bookmaker predictions, if I convert that in percent, then there's about 35% chance for win, about 33% chance of a draw (after 120 minutes) and about 31% chance for to win. And if you ask me - these are pretty small gaps, so I'd say you're a little favorite. Just because everyone predicts your win doesn't mean you're a big favorite. And that ranking is based on previous success (plus they included friendlies, which shouldn't be included, because they don't show the real potential of the teams), not how good the team plays in this tournament. We already saw how much of a favorite was  #8 ranked team in that ranking. I've said it multiple times - this ranking doesn't mean a thing, and I'm glad that they will finally change it to a more trust worthy one after this tournament. |

I was trying to sound very serious. Did you have to destroy this completely?  Btw. No I didn't see the bookmakers myself. I was just writing what I read in some obviously very trustable paper this morning.
Btw. I feel the tension rising already although I will see exactly 0 seconds of it. Maybe that's because there are quite a lot of people passing by who are going to see it all together. (Btw. what are the places called where lots of people can watch it together - organized by the community? Here we call them Public viewing, but I know that's a very different t meaning in English.) |

Yes, I had to destroy it Next time choose better info sources, that you can trust more I think it's called Public viewing - doesn't matter if it's in a bar or on outside square. At least I don't know any other names to such events... P.S. It was a pretty big risk to put my prediction for Sweden, but it payed off -  for a goal difference. This is why I said this day might be a game-changer, because many people might not get any points at all. I mean, I'm not a mag or something, but I think most people predicted Swiss win, so this might be big for those who predicted Sweden. |
