They're singing the national anthems and @Chules still hasn't predicted. 🤔

Edit: oh no he presumably has, it just doesn't show anyone else so you don't copy.

Only one point between the top four Kicktippers!
 
I never really loved his playing style and definitely never worshipped him whilst he was at uNited. He was selfish and self important. Even in the CL final against Chelsea I couldn’t stand the way he was acting. I know he’s scored a ton fo goals but he’ll never be a Zidane, Maradonna, Messi, Berbatov (don’t laugh!!!), Bergkamp, Cantona, Scholes, Pirlo, Del Piero, Hagi, le Tissier (;-))..

....interesting take.

Yep. Other predictions can be seen with kick-off - for the reason you mentioned.

@LEWIS540 I saw you were registered aswell but didn't put anything in after all. Thing is inactive members are being automatically deleted after the first bunch of games if they have a blank sheet. Sorry :rolleyes:
 
......sure, but the chance to draw is >>>>>>>>>>>> than the chance to lose by 2.
This is a reductive take. There's an element of subjectivity to the debate though. I think most of the time sending the goalie up is stupid, and it's just been demonstrated why. The chance of him scoring or contributing to a goal is 0.1% and the chance of you looking ridiculous, conceding with an empty net, and losing by an additional goal is maybe 20%. Does that 0.1% outweigh the 20%? If you reduce it to the drawing/winning %age chance, yes. But in the Big Picture, no. At least not the great majority of the time.

I used to have a friend who made a similar argument, that fruit machines should be replaced with a featureless grey box: you insert a £1 coin and it dispenses 90p. Mathematically it would be the same, just saving everyone time, energy and money. However I'm sure you would agree that this would be stupid.
