Update and Goal of the Round

So we have all now had the opportunity of catching a game, watching some highlights, or reading a report; hopefully, nobody is relying on the banter provided here. If you have done none of these and have gone for past reputations or pure luck, then good for you...pending where you are sitting on the ladder, of course. Aramis, Evie, and Stylianos have to date picked the most outcomes (7 from 12 matches) while Angelique and Evie have predicted two scores; some of us are struggling to get off the mark in this department. Yianni was off to a flyer with Italy, but results since have not gone how he expected. Dung is distracted by the NBL, sorry NBA playoffs, and will undoubtedly be staging a late surge. Still early days for you, Nico and Simon; however, a couple of results in round 2 going your way will see you both striving up that ladder, so don't renounce your hopes for Archon. 

Pick of the Round 1 goal: How good is this long-range Patrik Schick goal against Scotland? And what about the keeper David Marshell who is now a meme sensation? This is not how Dave wanted to be remembered, but that's what happens when one stands so far out of the goals, Davey boy. 

David Marshell, Scotland Goalkeeper and latest Avenger.

And here again, David Marshell, Olympic Champion.
