Not bad, better than mine I think. My persistent failing with International tournament predictions is always thinking this'll be the one where Switzerland don't get out their group! It's always my surprise, trying to be clever pick & it never happens lol
Predicting the Euro's (and now the World Cup going forward) is stupid anyway cos of that daft best 3rd place teams progress ruling. Anyone who gets close to good predictions from the last 16 onwards just got lucky.
For a smart guy, not very smart if you don't understand why 8 minutes of injury time was given for Italy Croatia, did you watch this game π
Yeah now wonder u don't rate rodri u don't know anything about football bro just make some LGBQT content it would suit u better
Can you do a video on how the third group games were very safe/boring as teams knew that three teams could progress from group C, D, E, F and G after the group A and B games were played? And the consequence it has on the next world cup with third place finishers moving to the knockout stage.
Only 57 Cancelled or Delayed Trains? Damn Deutsche Bahn did you really well
Hey mate, the video was just the perfect length for my detailed weekend shave, much love β€
Belgium to have a resurgence round of 16 exit is great for them but Italy to exit early round of 16 is bad for them, Italy going to the round after u claimed they exit early is not an 8/10, it's a 5/10 at best bro π
What did john cleese do to you?
At 8:01 – 8:02 it was actually a saved penalty against SLOVENIA
My biggest fail prediction-wise was probably Croatia, I had them in the semi finals again. But when you look at the stats Croatia actually did quite a lot right again, they just couldn't get the ball in the net often enough from their chances and xG. If they had made it out of the group they would have had not a terrible chance of reaching the semis.
Alfie's beef with German trains is legendary
Damage control!
The biggest "betrayal" from UEFA was your countryman Taylor not signalling a penalty after Cucurella's handball, not the 8 minutes added on Italy-Croatia's game that you could not avoid mentioning 3-4 times. I understand the 2020 final was a pill hard to swallow but sometimes I think an Italian woman o man broke your heart or something
Netherlands suprised me by going that deep, but they are still off the top nations
Lakaka for golden boot is criminal
Fabian wasnt better than Rodri.
Can count the number of mistakes Rodri made on one hand.
Fabian nearly gave France the game twice by giving them the ball inside his own box. He was far more direct than rodri, but Rodri was basically flawless and his deep lying play making ability and immunity to a press made spain impossible to pressure off the ball until they were already in the final third of the pitch.
Stupidest Alfie prediction was Bruno Fernandes as POTT – > He was absolutely atrocious, slower than a turtle, less energy than a pensioner. Best Alfie prediction -> Italy & Netherlands being a bit rubbish. Italy should have been 3rd in the GS, Croatia were much better. The Netherlands were distinctly mediocre, only sheer luck of the draw extended their stinking run into the semis. Worst Holland/Italy I have ever seen in my lifetime.
I got 26/57
In fairness to your thumbnail, Netherland did lose to Austria and went through 3rd. They could easily have gone out in the group stages had other 3rd place teams done better.
Can we please have a video about Maltese Football β½ Thank you
it would be great if you could either do a video about the Welsh premier league, or a video about how the success of the Welsh national team in recent years has impacted Welsh nationalism. love your Videos π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώπ
Very shrewd point about Zubimendi improving Spain over Rodri in the 2nd half against England. Also Fabian Ruiz was immense throughout the tournament. Vitinha was also a standout player for me.
Mrwhostheboss ahhhh rating system
The fact that you actually count how many Deutsche Bahn shenanigans that happened is so maddening xD
Hungary, wot a howler π¬
German trains are really that poorly run these days? I don't recall it being so delayed when I was there a few years ago.
Whatβs wrong with John Cleese?
Can you do a video about Willem van Hanegem (imo maybe the most underrated player ever) (24th video)
My euro prediction kinda came true . I just wish mainoo was on the bench thoughπβ€π
I said england was going to the finals and kobbies going to come on and score the winner
in fairness, we (the dutch) deserved to go out in the group stage anyways lol.. same as England
Yes! My predictions were better than an actual expert on football. 64 points, that makes me far happier than it should
I actually was the only one in our company betting game that got all semifinalists and the champion right. But sadly almost all knockout-games I predicted to go overtime finished in regular time and vice versa. So I lost a lot of points there and placed only 19. out of 63 π
This tournament is boring
