needs what.

So, Italy and France are both qualified for the QFs, and France needs to
win by a clear two-goal margin to get first place. Which may or may not
matter for WCQ seeding (probably not). Bottom line, this Italy-France is
close to a meaningless friendly.

I pick Kvara, Mamardashvili and co.

Will you follow the Canucks ? They don't tend to win much. They are bad
losers who trash their own city when they get beat.

You could take trip down I-5 and watch the Kraken tho. They have lovely
jerseys.

We will be quite far from VAncouver (closer to Calgary still).
And it goes against the grain to support the Canucks.

However, I remember Montreal and Edmonton having riots too after their
team were eliminated in the playoffs. Two of my grad students were
caught in the 1994 Canuck riots after they lost game 7 of the final
series to the Rangers.

No sensible person supports the Canucks.

Not old enough to remember the '94 NYR one i do recall the infamous riot
after game 7 vs Boston in 2011 tho.

I even used to know a Vancouver fan who believed there was a conspiracy
against them that year and they were cheated !

Since I gave you the chance to pick, I guess it depends on the
gamemaster... I know one who could have disqualified your picks, but I
think Daniele would have accepted them no fuss.

Now if it were me picking late, that would have been another story...

Anyway, thanks for giving me the chance to pick two teams! I pick
- Georgia
- Italy (I could never pick Frenchies over the Bel Paese)

Yes. In fact, it's still fine for Lleo to pick and override your picks.

Sometimes, one just has to enforce the rules. With the emphasis on
"sometimes."

Of course. I guess Lleo has at least 24 more hours, right?

One of us is so obsessed with the other that checks his every single

Despite his atrocious picks with a free hand,

Let me disagree. Picking Platini, Blanc, Trezeguet and Zidane over
Galderisi, Di Biagio, Fiore and Materazzi was never an option, so I got
the most I could from my pick.

On the contrary. Game. Is. On!!!
