International Revenge Tour – Picks From Across The Pond for March 27, 2018

3/26 Recap: Yesterday brought a weird mixture of knowing my own fate.  Norway bossed Albania for the vast majority of the game but took until the 70th minute to pull ahead.  They delivered me a perfect score victory and I thought I was off to a glorious afternoon.  Alas, before the final whistle even blew… Continue reading International Revenge Tour – Picks From Across The Pond for March 27, 2018
