2016 Euro Cup knockout stages are set.. And what a crazy bracket this is!.. Look at it this way.. The bottom half of the bracket has national teams that have won 20 combined word cup and euro cups.. The top half?.. None! Yea.. Croatia thought they got their way into the easier bracket until Ronaldo played his heart out and landed on their lap..lol Ok So here are my fearless predictions.. Round of 16: Swiss vs Poland: Poland came out of a pretty tough group.. I say they make Swiss cheese out of the Swiss.. When I hung out with the Polish Americans in Tulsa, cheering for the golden hurricane, they used to chant.. "Ooga Chaka.. Ooga Chaka.. Hit'em in the head with a big Kielbasa!".. So yea.. Go Poles! Winner: Poland Croatia vs Portugal: This is the first of super awesome matchups.. We all gotta thank that reporter whose microphone was tossed by Ronaldo into a lake today!.. He mad... He mad bro.. He gonna bend it like Beckham? Messi?.. He mad.. (Notice he didn't win to get into this side of the bracket...he mad now).. I call 5 more goals from Ronaldo before this is over.. Winner: Portugal Wales vs That English Colony on the island of Eire I was secretly hoping for Ireland vs Northern Ireland (still could happen.. At the finals).. But hey.. Kids these day totally do not remember or care about the Irish history.. Even Tommy Lee Jones singing "..aand u give.. aand you give.. aand you give yourself away.." Will not ring a bell.. But I digress.. I have been to both places and I love the welsh bars better.. And they got that Gareth Bale who is looking to "goe una tear" (Welsh accent).. Winner: Wales Hungary vs Belgium I am calling my first "upset" here.. The Waffles are overrated.. (seinfeld's voice.. "Overrated!").. Hungary is hungry for a win and they are tough as nails.. Even though I really love their Belgium Trappist Ales..umm.. Winner: (I changed my mind!!! The ales are calling me..) Belgium Germany vs Slovakia Schweinsteiger sounds like a jaeger tank with a 120mm smooth bore gun.. That pretty much sums up zee Germans squad that won the last World Cup.. They will suffocate you and then go in for the kill.. Winner: Schweinsteiger Italy vs Spain Ouch.. This could have been the final!.. Now these powerhouses (Spain is still the 2 time defending Euro Cup champ.. And Italy has been flawless this group stage) will meet in the round of 16.. For a chance to play.. zee Germans next.. Oh what a bracket! Winner: Spain France vs Ireland I love the Irish fans.. While other teams are shooting flares on the pitch and beating each other up, the Irish fans are helping nuns and people in wheelchairs.. For their great spirit and camaraderie, I am picking them as upset win over the hosts.. Winner: Ireland England vs Iceland "How we calmed.. The tides of war.. We are your overlords..".. How can you not like the Vikings!!!??.. Putting the battle of Stamford Bridge aside, I am calling for the Vikings!!! Winner: "Valhalla I am coming" There you have it folks.. State your fearless predictions! Live shot as I'm off on a puddle jumper
I honestly think Iceland might win against England. If England give enough free kicks away, Gylfi Sigurdsson can undoubtedly put them away. I'm gonna say either France or Spain will the whole thing. As they've been playin sexeh futbell recentluhh. Oh, and Wales ftw.(Even though we haven't been played in a major tournament in Decades lmao)
I think either Wales or Northern Ireland stand a good chance of making it to the finals if they win the match against eachother first.
I'm supporting the Swiss, only because they are my team in work But England I'm wondering if I should put any effort into supporting my own country...
What sport is this? Football or soccer? I can't always tell exactly which one you mean. Lol. I am just kidding
