4/4 Recap: I am truly astonished how yesterday went. I know that I whiffed on the majority of my props, all but one to be exact, but seeing Liverpool dominate Manchester City the way they did was symphonic. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dejan Lovren, two guys who I’ve basically cyber-bullied in 2018, were brilliant. Keeping a… Continue reading Europa FTW – Picks From Across The Pond for April 5, 2018

Quarterfinals Quandary II – Picks From Across The Pond for April 4, 2018
4/3 Recap: Yesterday’s games went according to my thoughts. Well, in a way they did. Real Madrid was able to pick up a massive victory in Turin, but it was the way they went about it. Juventus was stunned by an early Ronaldo goal and while they had chances, never fully recovered. His spectacular second… Continue reading Quarterfinals Quandary II – Picks From Across The Pond for April 4, 2018
Quarterfinals Quandary – Picks From Across The Pond for April 3, 2018
4/2 Recap: I’d like to take a second here at the beginning to thank Real Betis’ Sergio Leon. Even though my bet was set to win in that match, he still sealed the deal late with a sleek toe poke goal. That is more than I can say for Cardiff City. Though they were able… Continue reading Quarterfinals Quandary – Picks From Across The Pond for April 3, 2018
International Revenge Tour – Picks From Across The Pond for March 27, 2018
3/26 Recap: Yesterday brought a weird mixture of knowing my own fate. Norway bossed Albania for the vast majority of the game but took until the 70th minute to pull ahead. They delivered me a perfect score victory and I thought I was off to a glorious afternoon. Alas, before the final whistle even blew… Continue reading International Revenge Tour – Picks From Across The Pond for March 27, 2018
Won’t Get Fooled Again – Picks From Across The Pond for March 26, 2018
3/25 Recap: Since the second edition of Picks From Across The Pond, Spain has been a minefield for me. Whether it be the Primera or Segunda Divisions, there hasn’t been anything but disappointment. Meanwhile, the lower tiers of England continued to prove fruitful escapades. Long live Luton. The Hatters gave me my third straight perfect… Continue reading Won’t Get Fooled Again – Picks From Across The Pond for March 26, 2018
Cross Continent Chaos – Picks From Across The Pond for March 23, 2018
3/22 Recap: Who says friendlies can’t be entertaining? I was plenty entertained by the proceedings yesterday, even if one of my picks didn’t go as planned. In retrospect, I probably should have gone with some sort of a prop in the U21 match as both teams played it close to the vest spare a ten-minute… Continue reading Cross Continent Chaos – Picks From Across The Pond for March 23, 2018
A Friendly Game of Footy – Picks From Across The Pond for March 22, 2018
3/21 Recap: My schizophrenic run through the lower rungs of European football continued yesterday. I was expecting an under in the Wigan/Walsall contest, but the visitors killed that by themselves in a 3-0 win. As for League Two, I got my needed dose of Akinfenwa and a Wycombe win in a thrilling back and forth… Continue reading A Friendly Game of Footy – Picks From Across The Pond for March 22, 2018
Europa Wasteland – Picks From Across The Pond for March 15, 2018
3/14 Recap: For probably the first time in the series, I feel really good about my work yesterday. I understand the job of this is to entertain and educate, but getting things right now and again just helps build one’s confidence. Freeing myself from the Champions League chains paid dividends and it doesn’t hurt that… Continue reading Europa Wasteland – Picks From Across The Pond for March 15, 2018
Championship and The Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 13, 2018
3/11 Results: Most times I am able to shrug off a day of bad picks. It happens to everyone in every walk of life. Whether it be you made the wrong pick at your office cafeteria or two league-leading clubs combine to put a healthy helping of poop in their pants on a Sunday afternoon, mishits… Continue reading Championship and The Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 13, 2018
Europa, You’re My Only Hope-a – Picks From Across The Pond for March 8, 2018
3/7 Recap: It is fitting that I sat through a morphing rain/snow storm the past two days because the Champions League completely ransacked my confidence. I wasn’t able to register a single point yesterday as both Manchester City and Spurs lost, and neither of my props hit. It brings to an end a forgettable UCL… Continue reading Europa, You’re My Only Hope-a – Picks From Across The Pond for March 8, 2018
