[Victor Galis]

I agree to the new scoring, but don't think we should predict the youth thingie. Too subjective.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

usa eh dan?

[DanS]

Sure, why not? I never claimed that my predictions were objective. Besides, aren't there lots of potentially distracting scandals brewing in Italy?

[Ecthy]

DanS has taste

[DanS]

And is a man of distinction. Don't forget that!

[Ecthy]

2-1 is a lame common guess though and almost never occurs. It's real weak ass

Real men guess 3-0 min.

That's a political decision as much as a sportive one. Politics are stupid, throw balls at them.
