Central Euro teams are advancing

[FCB 2013 treble]

Czech Republic, Denmark and Switzerland all have advance to the quarterfinals of the 2020 Euro. Switzerland is the only team still alive in Pot two and Czech Republic and Denmark were in Pot three. At the least, this is surprising.

Belgium escaped yesterday by knocking out Portugal (thank goodness), but not a great game as a result of too many fouls. Italy had to go through extra time to put Austria away. Spain also required extra time to beat a really good Croatian team. I feel like this Euro Cup is wide open for any remaining team to win.

I was hoping he was talking about Cricket...

I worked in a lab with a guy from Bangladesh once and he would play their cricket matches on his computer. I stopped by one day to see what was going on and saw that Bangladesh was up something like 180-69. I said "Oh, nice, Azim, looks like y'all are gonna win." He just shook his head and said "No, we can't win this one." I was like "you're up over 100 runs" and then he proceeded to explain to me how, in spite of the score, it was inevitable that they would lose. Sure enough, they lost. I realized then that I would never get cricket.
