Rousseau 10,604 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) BTW, we do have to keep in mind, that Mrs. Craig scored one point less with 29 rather than 42 games of Mr. Craig! Rousseau ... that last table up there on this page, does it include the Hungary - Belgium game? As the second to last also has 42 games played and me on the same points? Yes, it's the same table updated. I input the data into my spreadsheet and it updates all the tables I have linked to on this thread.

buster. 5,185 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I, at least, don't change my predictions according to my latest whim! :fish: Fine, I'll change a prediction BEFORE a game whilst you can keep looking for non-existant points AFTER it. .... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,604 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Italy have named the same line-up that beat Belgium early on after resting 10 for the Ireland game. Spain are unchanged. This could be quite an interesting game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,604 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 The conditions are atrocious, and we've already seen some players slip. This could be very interesting indeed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,604 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 De Gea has just made a wonderful save from a goal-bound header. Great start from the Italians! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,604 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Ooft! De Gea has just tipped another good effort onto the post this time. Italy seem to have a deliberate plan to get crosses into the box; the Spaniards just don't know how to deal with them! Combining this tactic with their direct play is causing all sorts of problems.

Rousseau 10,604 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) If it wasn't for De Gea this game would be out of sight. Italy have been superb. A side without any individual 'superstars', but a group that play as a team; almost orchestrated by Antonio Conte -- it's a pleasure to watch. In this instance I'm almost happy my prediction is wrong. Edited June 27, 2016 by Rousseau 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The Italians hit a second in the 90th minute to finish it but I think it might be said that Buffon was as critical as De Gea on several occasions. Particularly so the save just before the second Italian goal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
