stephenkibby. Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 1 hour ago, Kid in the Riot said: Was just looking at that. Might put a few quid on Austria and Switzerland Austria were tipped on Odds Checker as an E/W punt at 80/1. Looking at the draw they must have a chance of reaching the final. Now at 22/1 so have had a bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Probably alone here but would rather play the Dutch. Much more of an open game, not trying to break down a bank of ten behind the ball and I think playing genuine world class quality would force England to snap out of whatever malaise they are in. We’re probably not going far either way, would rather go down fighting against a good side in a good game than on penalties to the Slovaks after another tepid embarrassment.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 The Nations League gets derided in certain quarters. Guess how Georgia qualified? Might also add, Finland though they didn't necessarily qualify via the Nations League directly, rose the ranks and got points, rankings points etc in part maybe via the Nations League. Macedonia maybe did too. Not so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays for Napoli without a buyout clause. Unlike others they aren't up against FFP, their financials are okay- clubs need to stand firm if they're in a solid place. Contracted until 2027 or 2028, they can enjoy him for another year I suspect. Edited June 26 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately ITVX is only 25 frames per second, which in this day and age is shite for football/sports. You are better off getting a crappy digital aerial and watching through Freeview as it is broadcast at 60 Hz I think, which is comparable to 50 frames per second that is broadcast on the iPlayer. Pretty sure the main games on the iPlayer AKA those with HDR are upscaled to 4K at source, so you see a marginally better picture but obviously not true 4K. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 9 hours ago, The Coach said: Kvarartskhelia? Lad is class. Surprised Man City or Real Madrid haven’t picked him up yet. He’s that good. Like many, I grew up in the era of football Italia on channel 4. Always loved Italian football, the strategy, the defensive structure, the classy skill etc. Growing up I loved ac Milan because of van basten, guillet, baresi etc. Class team. As I grew older, my step cousins family originated from naples, so I adopted Napoli as my favourite Italian side. Always looked out for their results, played as them on fifa career mode etc. Last few years with Kvaradona and Oshimen has been great. And raspadori as well. The league win was well overdue but in a league dominated by Juventus and inter, hard to break through. Season just gone was a bit of a non starter but there we go. Napoli signing kvaradona is all due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He played for Rubin Kazan and the contract was freed up as per fifas ruling, so he went back to Georgia for a few months and then Napoli got him from there. I'd love to see him in the Premier league but napoli would be losing an exceptional talent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
