Spain could get more bloody noses if they underrate more teams by trying to be clever and mix it up. And also if they act like a team of petulant children like they did last night. Seems Norway were pretty average over the two matches without Haaland and Georgia is one of the most difficult away games against a weaker nation. Tbilisi is a long long way and hugely different to Western Europe. Could definitely see plenty of twists.
 
I know Switzerland is in group I for I cant believe this is really a group but they have looked solid so far! Will be interesting to see them play a bigger team...Xhaka bias aside I think they can do damage and have a great run

Switzerland will qualify easily as usual. Then they’ll draw all 3 games as usual at the euros and either go out or scrape through and draw the last 16 game before losing on penalties.

This is the Swiss way.

I got myself a trial a few weeks past to a “perfectly legitimate” iptv to catch out dull 0-0 against soon to be relegated Southampton.

So how do you keep your sanity watching footie over there. I got a US stream, it was vomit inducingly horrendous. Every couple of minutes half my screen would disappear as the match shrunk to advertise some old piece of shit or other.

Question. Is the feed that you get in the UK/Ireland the same as is on US/International? It grinds my gears how often NBC cuts to a replay instead of showing the live action of a counter attack or just something else because the game is still going.

No. Both BT and Sky Sports are home broadcaster so they will have directors on site that cut the feed. You will be getting the Premier League outside broadcast which is the video feed the PL does for the rest of the world. UK never gets that. Ireland only gets it for the one 3pm game we get on an Irish sports channel.

That said similar scenarios do happen from time to time, especially with BT Sport, I think it’s just an unfortunate thing that can happen with live sport.
