Bro being the ball is too stressful, you get kicked around all game and might end up in some muddy ditch. I’d rather be the referee honestly, at least you get a whistle and nobody expects you to be aerodynamic.
I see France as the clar favorite but Morocco's defense is genuinely elite, not just a lucky run. I wouldn't be shocked if this goes to extra time and then it's anyone's game.
messi stil holds it for now but honestly mbappe’s pace is unreal i watched him bag 3 against argentina back in 2022 and it felt like he could easily pile on another 5 or 6 this tournament
the hardest part is not chasing losses metnally even when you fold correctly for an hour straight. i just repeat to myself that folding is winning too and eventually the table dynamic shifts back
i was leaning france too until i thought about how easily they could choke in the semis like last euros. england finally feels overdue, not flashy but they grind results out in a way france doesnt always.
I get the idea but it feels a bit off to me, if the odds themselves change for losing players then the market stops being transparent. Casuls might not notice but anyone comparing prices across books would just see Stake as having softer lines and that could hurt their reputation long term.
My uncle still wears his original 1990 Geermany away shirt to every family barbecue, the green one with the geometric pattern that somehow looks better with age.
