Holy War to Wisla; Polish Eagle to beat Cullen; and I`m outside my specialty sport wheelhouse with the other fixture, but that`s never stopped me having a strong opinion, so I`ll go with Poland based purely upon Japan just sneaking past Estonia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that game was still tied late in the third period, and we do have an extra day of rest. Cullen has been an upstart player lately, might be too much for Krzysztof. And the derby, hate to say it but it'll probably end in a draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned it off because I though Ronnie was going to go up 6-2 with no problems. Firstly, there was the brouhaha about replacing the white in the exact spot in an earlier frame. The later incident, it seemed that Ronnie made a gesture after a miss (something that made the woman in his eyeline smile but the camera missed) and the ref took umbrage to the degree that he reprimanded Ronnie - who in turn said "don`t start", as though there may be some previous between them and then Ronnie did a Simeone and left the arena without a handshake (or fistbump). In an interview immediately after the session, Ronnie said that he feels this ref always wants to be at the centre of attention. I`ve seen Ronnie imply a... errr... onanistic move with his cue after a miss, so I don`t know if that was something the ref felt he needed to protect the public from. But an official warning was the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, if I can't wallow in my team's success . . . You know the fear of losing something is greater than the fear of gaining something. And if you point out to me that the only thing we could really "lose" at this point is the League Cup, and that's impossible, I'll ask you not to intrude your "logic" and "reason" into my sports fandom, thank you very much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
