What a Beautiful Dane in the Neighborhood to Maehle Wales

 

 38/51 through the Euros, and we saw our first two elimination matches. The day began with Wales and Denmark locking horns. The Welsh made a fine effort to reach this stage, but it was Denmark who finally seemed to be hitting their stride after the collapse of Christian Ericksen in their opening group match. The Danes put four goals away to make it clear that Wales didn’t belong here. Their performance earned Fortuitous 102 points after the multiplier. Seven players picked Denmark to make it to the quarterfinals and earned 25 points apiece for their prediction.

 Italians Drawn to Win

The Second Match of the day saw Italy looking to continue their form over Austria. The Austrians had a different day planned. They fought hard against Italy holding them to a scoreless draw through regulation. A couple of substitutions made the difference for Italy in extra time taking a 2-0 lead. Austria would put one back to make things interesting, but it wouldn’t prove enough to send the game into penalty kicks. Italy through the multiplier gave Musicus 42 Euro Buddy points. Eight contestants predicted Italy would make it through to the quarterfinals and earned 25 points for the predictions.
