I still remember losing a bet on Switzerland back in the 2018 World Cup group stage when they equalized late aginst Costa Rica, brutal stuff. Going with Colombia this time though, they always seem to find a way in friendlies.
A predictable blowout juts feels like watching someone clock into a job they already finished. The near misses and nervy endings are the only times I actually sit forward.
I get the logic, but if I'm already tilting, digging into stats just feeds the mental spiral for me. I shut the laptop hard and refuse to even look at the hand history until the pain's a bit dulled the next morning.
I threw a fiver on France in the last Euros final and my neighbour still mocks me for celebrating too early 😅 Hoping they actually close it out clean this time.
