Ok, I will be first respond here . So far most fun thing about this EURO that all games were very high scoring. But so far 2 of them were quite one sided. If Germany - Scotland was expected, then such easy Spain win against Croatia was surprising. And Hungary - Switzerland, a bit disappointed about Hungary,  after some their recent performances in recent tournaments.
So far it's successful tournament in betting for me, from all bets that I made, lost only BTTS on Spain - Croatia. Now Italy - Albania is next.

Which format are we using in the end? Superbru or UEFA?
If it's the UEFA one, is the Germany game counted or not?

Started shitty on both, but would like to know which one to skip filling out going forward.

Same here. I ironically did not fill out same results on both so I now have a favorite for which I will like us to use, but it is still too early to matter much, anyone will be great.

It is worth noting that we have 19 players on the UEFA match predictor and 20 on the Superbru, some names are different, so I cannot tell who is the exact player not on both.

So, we got first draw of this EURO between Denmark and Slovenia, but so far level of scoring is really high. It's very nice to see Erikssen scoring, knowing what happened to him on EURO opening game 3 years ago. But in general, it was quite equal game.
Poland without Lewandowski lost to Netherlands, what is something expected. Now England - Serbia is next. England is heavy favorites, fans already singing It's coming home'' in stadium, would be really happy to see some upset here .

Not sure why, but I can see just 10 names on Superbru pool, instead of 20. Maybe somehow I joined wrong pool or something? And yeah, feeling confused which site we're actually using.

hilariousandco are we counting both Superbru and UEFA website for our predictions?
I joined both of them and I see we have 20 players in Superbru and 19 in UEFA website.
I am not doing bad at all so far, but I could be ranked even better if I didnt make some last minute changes with Slovenia vs Denmark match.

There are 20 people joined in Superbru pool.

I do not think we should post the pool link publicly since it is a private pool. Anyone can copy it off from here and join giving hilarious the task of weeding out those players.

Now England - Serbia is next. England is heavy favorites, fans already singing It's coming home'' in stadium, would be really happy to see some upset here .

With how they played yesterday, the singing should be less loud against Denmark. The England fans too easily get ahead of themselves for major tournaments like this one.

Dont be foolish please.  
Pools are not secret or hidden, you can find them all in list of the pools and OP can remove any players he want to remove.
And it would be very stupid for anyone to join pool when he cant win anything without payment of entry fee and approval.

That is an unnecessary response, I would have expected more for some reason, not sure what the reason is cause literally anyone could be behind a keyboard, but I am dissappointed either ways.

You are being ignorant. There is an option to toggle off a pool being visible in the public pool search, meaning they CAN be private.
And I literally said you will not want to give the pool captain the task of removing players who join without buying in, that could be why hilarious sent the link privately.

With how you have acted, I will not put anything beyond anyone.Well, Ukraine is getting annihilated out there. I predicted Romania to win by 1 - 0 and changed it up just before the match started, would have been a valuable 1 point. Another reminder to always follow my guts.

I didnt ask you anything so you didnt have to reply anything to me.
LTU_btc asked about the pool and I replied to him, so now please move on do something better in your life and mind your own business.
Thank you very much and have a great day.

Romania win 3:0 against Ukraine is probably biggest upset so far. Not the win itself, but the way how they won.1st goal was such beauty, while 2nd Lunin was caught not ready. In general, it was hard to recognize Ukraine.
Now a bit unexpected Slovakia is leading against Belgium and Belgium doesn't looks like better team on pitch.

Yeah, good for them that Serbia wasn't capable to do much and that their group is easy in general.

Thanks for the link @notblox1, now I'm in right pool. Previously I joined wrong pool, I think I clicked invitation link that I got on email through Superbru.
Don't see big issue that link is posted in public. I think we never had issue when many random people joins pool in tgat way, it's  sometimes 1 or 2 people who join it accidentally.

The UEFA bracket and superbru one. I was hoping everyone could join the EURO predictor in time but some people couldn't.

You're in the wrong one. That's the reanimated one from last time. I will delete it.

This one shouldn't be public. You can choose to set it to public or private. There was one year when there were a few people who found it somehow and tried to join and it's a headache to keep removing them as you're kinda auto-enrolled if you join via the link so please don't share the link with anyone who isn't playing.

The EURO predictor has been fun, it is a shame we could not use that. Maybe I will stick around and play just for fun on it and the prizes available there.

Today has been a bad day for predictions, will France also give us an upset?

I can’t see France dropping points against Austria. They are my pick to win the tournament, they have world class players all over the pitch.

Yes today has been a crazy day of results, I dropped from 5th in the pool to 12th which sucks but obviously a long way to go.

Almost 40 minutes in and it is not looking comfortable at all for France. The underdogs are all playing with a certain confidence and shape, not sitting back and absorbing pressure but going all out man for man. There is still a lot of time for France and a lot of time on the pool.

They just got the lead while I was typing, lovely work from Mbappe.

[goodpunt]

Yesterday's results just proved that friendlies are not really a form indicator.
Romania surprised me too and Lukaku must be cursed 

[buwaytress]

Yeah, sorry guys, didn't do the UEFA predictor... I thought we were doing the pool on Superbru, so I didn't fill out picks for the UEFA one... except for Germany. The last PM I got was in case people wanted to use it, and I admit I completely forgot about it.

After Group A's blitz, it feels like we're all zombieing our way through MD1, huh.

P.S. I never got the invite code hilariousandco. The pool I thought I was enrolled in was the one you just destroyed.

[hilariousandco]

There's 0.01313254 in the pot so I will just split it down the middle 50/50 so 0.006 each to the winner of the bracket and the predictor. Or possibly, make it 0.005 each and whatever's left in the pot after fees goes to the winner of the EURO predictor which will be less than 0.00313254. If any one can manage to get a sponsor or maybe even just some free bets we can give those to one or two of the runner ups.

Who could have thought that Turkey - Georgia will be one of the most exciting games of tournament so far. And final score doesn't reflect game very well as third Turkey goal was scored to empty net like in ice hockey. Draw would be more fair result, but that Guler goal was sick.
Now Portugal - Czech Republic. Went for BTTS, but so far somehow 9 PM games were least exciting and lowest scoring. Ronaldo today will become first player who played in 6 EURO tournaments.

Lukaku must be cursed 

Damn, poor Lukaku. When you think that you can't impress you more with wasted moments, he responds "Hold my beer" .

[un_rank]

Türkiye vs Georgia is my game of the tournament so far. The quality of football was great, especially the attacking, defending was not so good, but it was fast paced and end to end with lots of beautiful goals.

The pool amount means it is all to play for and winner takes all(both ways), which adds some excitement to it. Will be good if we get some reward for the best performer of a round.
