Well, thanks! But honestly I don't think you (or I) will have that much luck.

 

To me both France and Germany would be equally difficult: Germany as you say always wins to Portugal (we say here "Futebol é 11 contra 11 e no final ganha a Alemanha"/"Football is 11 against 11 and at the end the winner is Germany"); and France has the home advantage + Platini advantage (and is always the team that crush our dreams).

 

But I would have preferred Germany, because if we loose, I would preferred to loose to Germany (I'm a big fan of the German football), and because I hate France :p

 

Nice...

okay made a quick stats, and France is absolutely amazing in matter of performing during Major events at home.

 

They hosted Euro 3 times, World cup once and they never lost a match since the start of Euro 1984 :bowdown: an unbelievable streak Euro 84, World Cup 98 and Euro 2016 so far. trust it or not but last time France lost a match at home in a major event tournament was yes ofc with Czechoslovakia :d in bronze match in 1960.

 

Twice, but, ok, that was a long time ago (1938).

France had a huge luck so far. Romania, Switzerland, Albania, Ireland and Iceland...weak teams. Now they beat Germany but Germany played with a lot of young players (which are good quality footballers, especially Kimmich). Schweinstenger and Neuer qualified France in the final, not Griezmann ;) Go Portugal!!! :fingers:

And you say Portugal didn't have luck with Iceland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Poland and Wales? :d Come on, that is probably the easiest draw in history for some team to qualify to the final of Euro/World Cup (ofc with this format of at least 16 teams).

And even with that draw they only finally got a win in the semi-finals (where their opponent was even missing their best player)...yeah, Portugal has been a lot more lucky then France :p

Yes, this format sucks. For me personally it would be best to return the previous format or to have 32 teams and then without the group stages, knockout matches starting from Round of 32 without the seeded/non-seeded/whatever teams. That would be interesting. :d

I've to agree with this, otherwise I will be forever upset for waking up at 2 AM just to watch this match (GMT+7 here) :lol:

 

I hope France failed in the final after beating Germany (just like Italy :p). Let Portugal be the feroces soldats which will cut the French throats :p

    • @hckošice Do you agree with me to some extent, or am I hopelessly dreaming? 
    • Interesting forecasts, I like 'em! I think the US wins the most medals, but Norway tops the standings (most golds)... have Germany neck-and-neck with Norway for medals, but fewer gold.    Then have Canada and Italy fighting it out for 4th in 5th   Then have Sweden, Austrian, Japan, Netherlands and France rounding out the top ten, with them all within a medal or two of each other. Of course reality with differ significantly 
    • A huge day for the very young Italian Bertini: despite a very tough draw, he beats Szilagy in the round of 16 and Gu in the quarterfinals! First career podium for him! 
    • Time for more personal and detailed predictions:    will have it hard this time.   I'm trying to stay realistic about our chances. We're not going there as favorites in most events, and deep down I know it would be a big surprise if we suddenly overperformed or even dominated. Still, sports have a beautiful way of ignoring expectations.   We're never predicted to do amazingly well at either edition of the Olympics, so I’m desperately hoping for moments that will stay with everyone in the country for years, whether it's a final that keeps people glued to their screens or a performance that will make us proud. Just one medal could mean so much. It would bring real emotions and something to cheer for to a country that isn’t going through its best period right now. And on the rare occasion of a hockey miracle, celebrations in the streets wouldn't be an oddity.   It all comes down to four sports, the rest are out of reach:   Alpine Skiing is a big mystery, and it will all come down to Petra, whether she'll compete and eventually shock everyone with a heroic result. That's the best-case scenario. Biathlon can be the dark horse, you never know how things turn around. The women's relay is probably our biggest chance, but all four of them need to deliver great performances. As for Ice Hockey, our national sport, I'll always believe in another fairytale. I'll always believe we'll pull off a miracle. Since I wasn't alive yet when we won gold at the World Championships, I can only resort to watching old videos and imagine how amazing it must have been to watch as your country is the champion of the world in something. Best on the planet. Even the silver years later was amazing, but I was too young to actually remember it, so it's time for another hockey euphoria in the country. Ski Mountaineering is a bit overlooked in the media right now, but I believe we have a huge chance of winning a medal in one of the events. Our athletes aren't minnows.   We're a small country, still relatively young. There's not much we're known for in the world, but sports are a perfect way to build a national identity, to stop people from thinking you're still part of a state that ceased to exist decades ago. Doing well in sports is one of the few things these lesser-known countries can show off, not just the ones in Europe.   I'm desperately hoping for a medal, and we all want those two weeks of the Olympics to be amazing and full of unforgettable moments.
    • Never wanted a prediction to be more right 
    • Two weeks before the Games officially begin, time to give my final predictions on the medal standings.     will beat  and win the medal table at the WOG for the first time in 100 years. All the (absurd) retirements of elite Norge athletes last season will have its consequences and they will drop to second.    will my bold pick to return to the top 3 after their horrendous Beijing performance, when it comes to Gold medals.     Germany will slip down and will have less than 9 golds for the first time in 50 years. Depending on how the chips fall in some sports, they could even be outside the top 5.   Home team of  will have their best Olympics in some, better than Torino, but it still won't be enough to get into the top 5.
