By Gerald Lutchman THE pitches in Brazil appear to be at a poor standard and this may account for the poor games the Copa America is currently witnessing. Uruguay 1 vs Chile 1 21/06/21 Arena Pantanal I had predicted this would have been a drawn match and it was. It was a thrilling low […]Read More

By Gerald Lutchman WHAT a day for football with some exciting games, none more so than the Denmark vs Russia. It was a fairy-tale ending with Denmark needing a big win and a Belgium victory – both happened. Austria in the round of 16 for the first time Ukraine 0 vs Austria 1 21/06/21 […]Read More
By Gerald Lutchman PERFECT Italy are through with a perfect record on Group A, while Wales escaped and move on as the second place team after Switzerland could not overcome the goal difference. Italy made eight changes to their starting 11 from their previous game, still dominated and won. They also brought in five […]Read More

By Gerald Lutchman AS I had predicted Russia won the game against Finland but by a 1-0 margin. In quite an exciting game both sides were interested in gaining all the points. Russia made the initial running and had 59% of the possession with 14 shots at goal and three on target. Finland Vs […]Read More
By Gerald Latchman AS I predicted Ronaldo would have scored a brace and he did. Two goals in five minutes, a penalty and then the best worked goal of the tournament so far. Cristiano Ronaldo became the more prolific European championship goal scorer in history with his 10th and 11th goals in the championship. […]Read More
