4/5 Recap: It seems the Europa League has surpassed its big brother in terms of unpredictability. Arsenal ran riot in the first half, scoring 4 in 35 minutes. CSKA got an away goal, but that won’t matter heading back to Russia. In my other pick, I thought I was golden when Salzburg netted an equalizer… Continue reading Friday Got Me Like – Picks From Across The Pond for April 6, 2018

Europa FTW – Picks From Across The Pond for April 5, 2018
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
Monday Afternoon Football – Picks From Across The Pond for April 2, 2018
4/1 Recap: April Fool’s Day doubled as opposite day for me. The results I needed were flip-flopped in Spain and France. I stated that I was fearful of Atletico Madrid getting a lead and then shutting it down. That is exactly what happened after Kevin Gameiro’s penalty before halftime. There may not be a more… Continue reading Monday Afternoon Football – Picks From Across The Pond for April 2, 2018
Every Day Fool – Picks From Across The Pond for April 1, 2018
3/31 Recap: My Saturday started off well with a Liverpool victory, thanks mostly to Christian Benteke not being able to hit the broad side of a barn. But then my picks began and everything fell apart. Sevilla cruised through 88 minutes against Barcelona, holding a 2-0 advantage. Then they went full-PSG and gave up two… Continue reading Every Day Fool – Picks From Across The Pond for April 1, 2018
A Better Saturday – Picks From Across The Pond for March 31, 2018
3/30 Recap: Good Friday did not live up to the adjective here on Picks From Across The Pond. Derby County continued their miserable run of form, laying an absolute egg at home against bottom club Sunderland. They were fairly unlucky with a deflection for the Black Cats’ first goal, but they crossed their own path on… Continue reading A Better Saturday – Picks From Across The Pond for March 31, 2018
Hopefully A Good Friday – Picks From Across The Pond for March 30, 2018
3/29 Recap: Yeah, I’m done with Portugal for the time being. I thought seeing last place topple first place was bad. But yesterday I saw five goals come when I picked a scoreless draw. After Aves scored on the stroke of halftime, I thought I could at least salvage a draw result. Vitoria Setubal had… Continue reading Hopefully A Good Friday – Picks From Across The Pond for March 30, 2018
Viva Portugal – Picks From Across The Pond for March 29, 2018
3/28 Recap- With what I had at my disposal yesterday, I feel I did OK. Two early goals resided me to different fates in each game. In Scotland, St. Johnstone went ahead in the fifth minute and shut it down. Hamilton never stood a chance and my bet hit. In Italy, Bari went down even… Continue reading Viva Portugal – Picks From Across The Pond for March 29, 2018
Slim Pickings – Picks From Across The Pond for March 28, 2018
3/27 Recap: So yesterday’s international friendlies, even the ones not part of my picks, did their job. They were entertaining and engaging and best of all nobody got hurt. Well, at least physically anyway. I completely misread Spain versus Argentina. La Furia Roja killed my under in under a half an hour and then went… Continue reading Slim Pickings – Picks From Across The Pond for March 28, 2018
