Gakpo moves to 4 sorry, now ahead of musiala for golden boot. Nobody is standing out as the big contender yet. If he gets a couple more in the qf he might lock this in.
Darn Turkey... look destined to make my prediction wrong! Need Austria to step things up.... If they don't I need Turkey to win the tournament.
Gakpo been brilliant for Netherlands in this and the last WC before moved to us. Clearly very capable in that LW position but maybe just not quite in a klopp system where need a lot of pace. Really interesting if we do go into season with all 5 forwards how we line up. Gakpo having Dutch connection and great form LW Nunez, great form for Uruguay - not sure if playing centrally or wide? Jota - brilliant finisher as always danger if can stay fit. If we got 2 big offers for Salah and diaz I could see us taking 1 of them with the firepower we potentially have.
Gakpo was better for us when posting on the left too but Klopp played him central moor than anything else
Another Round over... two more correct predictions: Predicted Group: Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Ukraine, Albania, Switzerland, Georgia (7) Actual: Scotland, Albania, Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia, Ukraine, Czechia Predicted 16: Turkey Serbia, Romania, Croatia, Poland, Denmark, Hungary, Scotland (8) Actual: Italy, Slovakia, Georgia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, Romania, Austria @SIR_KENNY_KLOPP_KING correctly predicted Denmark's fall at this stage. @RogerisontheHunt correctly predicted Romania's fall. @Zanjinho joins the list of people whose teams are all out, as does @RogerisontheHunt, @Sauerkraut Inia and @organic red Current Scores based on known eliminations so far: Roger: 14 Sauerkraut: 13 Sir Kenny: 12 + ? (Swiss) Solid Albo: 12 Zanjino: 4 Organic Red: 3 Mito: 2 + ?(Spain) Port&Ginger: 1 + ? (Portugal) Milk: 1 + ?(Turkey) IFWT: 1 + ? (France) Englia: 1 + ? (England) Germland: ? (Germany) + ? (Netherlands) RogerisontheHunt is the current leader with 14 points... But it won't be enough, SirKenny is guarenteed a minimum score of 15 (next round eliminations worth 3 points + 10 if correctly predicted)... Several others can still potentially beat that score too. There are three teams which people predicted getting eliminated in the QF Predicted QF: Belgium, Czechia, Spain (3) Belgium and Czechia already out... so Mito's Spain the only one that could potentially get the 10 point bonus for correct prediction in the next round. Actual:
Think for us was a bit more of a link up and was one of only players that was getting in box for tap ins as well. Def was hindered by moving around so much so be good to see him nail a position.
No wonder he's made less of an impact if he keeps making comments on the Internet rather than concentrating on the match.
We had a few days where it was baking hot, but apart from that: no, not really. Our garden's looking lovely though.
I don't care any more. I've got the title winners which is all thst ever matters is a pool for a tournament Seriously though I predicted based on young players running out of juice and a huge home advantage for Germany. This tie is going to be the tie of the tournament amd will be better than the final or so to watch. Trueky v Netherlands will be thr other tie of the tournament now. France amd England are stinking the tournament out.
Speaking of Germany and law and order, what the hell is going on with all the missile throwing at games? I mentioned this a week ago, and it isn't getting any better. What are all the stewards doing? I heard UEFA are fining associations, but what about identifying individuals and charging them? This tournament will be watched globally, it's not a good look at all.
