Euro 2021 Languish Pickem Pool

[Duque de Bragança]

How did so many of you know the Swiss were going to tie the Welsh?

Gareth Bale plus Euro 2016 memories. Somewhat lucky tie for Wales though.

PS: for clarity

I guess if I was thinking about this then recognising group games are always draws would have been the thing to do. Don't think I noticed that option till I was nearly done.

In my case it was a difficult to pick between the two sides for quality and a memory (that may possibly be inaccurate) of a period when Switzerland seemed to get nothing but draws in qualifying.

Not memories of Euro 2016 in my case as far as I am aware.

Edit: Basically I am biased towards considering any game the Swiss play to be a draw against opposition of what I think to be roughly the same level.

I picked the Swiss to win but they're always meh. Wales have an aging Aaron Ramsey and a lazy Gareth Bale and that's it though so I figured the Swiss would nick an extra goal.

Accurate memory of 10+ years ago. Now Switzerland plays more attack football.

Your picks are not set in stone. You can go back and change any of them until the game starts.

1st Swiss games in group play are draws. Even if Duque says they play more attack football.

Footix 1er a parlé ! 

Switzerland won 1-0 against Albania during the last Euro and were denied penalties vs France (home advantage) in the last game of the group.

Last world cup, they tied with Brazil and won vs Serbia. Draw vs Costa Rica as well.

So take Grey Fox's ice hockey knowledge with a grain of salt.

I don't think I have participated in a international hockey pool.

I just do poorly informed picks in soccer and basketball.

I'm not last! 

Sheilbh didn't make any picks

I was on holiday and signed up on my phone - but that site is a nightmare on a phone. So I went for a walk instead

You can still pick the matches that haven't been played Sheilbh...I think anyway.

I was feeling like a football picking genius after the last few matches until I saw almost everyone picked them right.

If I ever gamble for real I am using Grey Fox as my magic eightball.

Law of averages will eventually catch me. Some of my choices are bold.

[Liep]

Yi is the only one who picked Slovakia.

Now Yi can celebrate not being in last place
