It's about the whole pipeline of kids programs, schools, local clubs and so on that nurture talent.

I did not pick Russia. Russia sucks.

I had thought Russia was half-way decent.  Not the absolute top, but pretty good.  Same thing for Turkey.  I guess I was wrong.

But I realized - remember how I said the last Euro I paid attention to was in 2008?  I just checked - yup both Russia and Turkey made it to the semi-finals (although both lost).

Nobody sees la Roja losing and all but one see it winning.

Yi is now in front of me  :mad:

Gonna have to gamble and hope for some upsets in the knock-out rounds. The pool doesn't reset after group matches does it?

I had picked Portugal and France to tie. Now, 10 minutes before game start, I switched to a France win. Let's see what that does.

The only last-minute change I have made so far was changing a Poland-Spain draw to a Spanish win, so I am done with these. :P

Soon America will win the World Cup as well, and y'all will have to find a new sport to watch  :menace:

Valmy the Texan?
Well, Texas was Spanish and Mexican, countries where association football is extremely popular.   :D

End the CONCACAF farce and merge it with CONMEBOL!

At last, Copa América would have a qualifying phase.

Well, one of the round of 16 picks definitely had to be a case of head over heart. :(
