| 7/2/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Akin, I should have known that he played for Beşiktaş. :) Great goalie! | |
| 7/2/2024 (Akin C. - Fairfax, VA) | |
| Joe, agree both saves are spectacular and similar. Beşiktaş goalie after all :). | |
| 7/2/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| We are down to the quarter-finals. Nobody had the final 8 teams correct, and only four entries had 7 of the 8 correct. Next round starts on Friday with Spain-Germany followed by Portugal-France. Can't wait! Standings are current... |
|
| 7/2/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Akin: Best save I've seen, by the Türkiye goalkeeper, since Gordon Banks saved Pele's header in the 1970 World Cup. It was actually very similar. Look it up. Easily the save of the tournament. We are still on track for a Portugal-Türkiye final. :) | |
| 7/2/2024 (Akin C. - Fairfax, VA) | |
| Go Türkiye…. That save at the end by the goalie was a Kodak moment. | |
| 7/2/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Türkiye the Cinderella team! | |
| 7/2/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Netherlands 🇳🇱 3-0 Romania 🇷🇴 All of Group E is out of the tournament now. | |
| 7/2/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| haha! France just has to let Ronaldo take every free kick! | |
| 7/2/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| If anything I wish France plays like they have the whole tournament. Just don’t concede a PK or own goal and they should b ok 😂 | |
| 7/1/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| I hope Portugal plays like that Friday woooof | |
| 7/1/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| France survive with another own goal! Wow! France still have not scored from the run of play! That’s crazy! Vamos com tudo, Portugal!!!!! | |
| 7/1/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Bye Bye Belgium! | |
| 7/1/2024 (Tim R. - Newport Beach, CA) | |

| RIP Italy 🫡 | |

| Guy w the worst soccer knowledge (me) is going to win this thing :-) Let the knockout stage begin! | |
| 6/27/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Hi Tom! Great to see you participating once again. The group stage is completed and on Saturday starts the knock-out phase. At this point most people are still technically "in the hunt", but like March Madness the standings will start fluctuating according to who gets knocked out. As far as the standings goes, some dude from Houston, Texas is in first place thanks to getting the most correct picks (14) moving on to the knockout phase. My guess is that he probably works for some university in the sports department and keeps up with sports in general. Good luck with your picks. |
|
| 6/27/2024 (Tom S. - Houston, TX) | |
| Hey, I have been really busy and have not paid attention to the games. I always think these are fun and benefit good causes but gosh, I have not kept up with soccer that much and just made picks using gut reactions. Yeah, I know, pretty random. Anyway, who is leadibg this pool thus far? I have not bothered to check. | |
| 6/26/2024 (Akin C. - Fairfax, VA) | |
| I think we found the worst referee of the tournament so far. | |
| 6/26/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Agreed Tim! The ref is responsible for keeping control of the game. Not surprised that things got worse after the final wisthle. | |
| 6/26/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| skirmish after the final whistle, direct red and more yellows given out. Multiple turkish players will miss next round. | |
| 6/26/2024 (Tim R. - Newport Beach, CA) | |
| disallowed goal this referee needs to be no longer eligible to ref in any major soccer tournament he completely lost control of the turkey match | |
| 6/26/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| 8 yellow cards for Turkey, this is crazy! | |
| 6/26/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Georgia get a pk! Who had these 4 teams as the best 3rd place finishers????!!! Wow | |
| 6/26/2024 (Louis B. - Chino, CA) | |
| Landon Donavan has always been jealous of Ronaldo. He is not the best commentary I'd say. | |
| 6/26/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Group E was crazy! Every team had a chance to move on as first place team going into the final game. Heartbreak for Ukraine. No more perfect bracket in the contest. Standings are current. |
|
| 6/26/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Ukraine are the first-ever team to fail to progress from a Euros group with 4 points | |
| 6/26/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| France versus Belgium, here we go wow | |
| 6/25/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Agreed Jean-Marc. What a bore fest! Only two perfect brackets left. That might change tomorrow.. :) Standings are current... |
|
| 6/25/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| England, Denmark and Slovenia 1-2-3. Denmark gets 2nd due to qualification tiebreaker. Probably the worst soccer games I have ever seen. | |
| 6/25/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Potentially Belgium too | |
| 6/25/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| France are now in the same half of the draw as Germany, Spain and Portugal 😳 | |
| 6/25/2024 (Tim R. - Newport Beach, CA) | |
| the group AUSTRIA 1 FRANCE 2 NETHERLANDS 3 really changes the look of the round of 16 and the finals what a FINE MESS who had austria winning the group here!!!! | |
| 6/25/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Mbappe gets his first Euro goal finally!!! Also France’s first goal from a French player at the Euros! 🤯 | |
| 6/25/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| The leading "goal scorer" for the 2024 EURO: Own goals. :) | |
| 6/25/2024 (Alyssa S. - Whittier, CA) | |
| Another own goal! This time for Austria! That changes everything in the round of 16 if the scores stay the same! | |
| 6/25/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| The Return of Masked Mbappe today! As well as 21 years old Bradley Barcola will start for France. | |
| 6/25/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Agreed Louis. It would have been a much better story if Croatia had won. I am a big Luka Modrić fan. :( | |
| 6/24/2024 (Louis B. - Chino, CA) | |
| 8 minutes extra was a bit much for that game. I feel for Croatia. | |
| 6/24/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Yep Croatia is eliminated | |
| 6/24/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| What drama at the end!!! The defending champs move on! Croatia pretty much eliminated. | |
| 6/24/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| Glad fifa made the call there, croatia would not have brought in the tv ratings. Swiss versus italy in round of 16 it is! | |
| 6/23/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Germany and Switzerland are through. Scotland and Poland are eliminated. Standings are current… |
|
| 6/22/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Ronaldo passed!!!! Wow! I’m surprised he didn’t try and score! | |
| 6/21/2024 (Jean-Marc S. - Placentia, CA) | |
| no Mbappe today, France is in trouble | |
| 6/21/2024 (mike m. - Hollister, CA) | |
| hey, I just fell down, on my own...RED CARD!! | |
| 6/19/2024 (Mark L. - Aptos, CA) | |
| I’m still tied for first :-) | |
| 6/19/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Albania tie it at the depth!!! Wow what an ending! Croatia will have a tuff time advancing now! | |
| 6/19/2024 (Dereck T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Croatia needs to wake up! Losing to Albania 🤯😱 let’s see if they can come back!!? | |
| 6/17/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Thanks Akin for pointing it out. My apologies. However, I don't think it has any bearing on the spelling of the 2024 EURO champion: it is P-O-R -T... well you know the rest. :) | |
| 6/17/2024 (Akin C. - Fairfax, VA) | |
| Hello Joe, it is actually Türkiye and not Türkyie. We don’t want to misspell the future Euro Champion 😉 | |
| 6/17/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
| Yes, Alyssa. Feels like March Madness! Slovakia surprised Belgium today. I am sure there are more coming.. :) | |
| 6/17/2024 (Alyssa S. - Whittier, CA) | |
| Wow! Ukraine is getting worked by Romania!!! Romania hadn’t scored a goal in 8 straight Euro matches, they now have 3 n one game! Wow!!!!! | |
| 6/14/2024 (Joe T. - Chino, CA) | |
