The18’s renowned data scientist introduced the team to an API (application programming interface) that gave predictions for games in the European Championship. We naturally took that as a challenge to see if we could predict the outcomes of games better than the algorithm. We’ll show the results from the Round of 16 before sharing our Euro 2020 quarterfinal predictions.
Five of our staff, including Grant the data scientist, took the challenge to outsmart the algorithm. After eight games in the Round of 16, this is what the leaderboard looks like.
Francia, Alemania, Portugal y Hungría eran parte del Grupo F de la Eurocopa. Grupo tan difícil como atractivo. Francia, vigente campeón mundial; Portugal, actual rey de Europa; Alemania, tetracampeones mundiales; y Hungría a completar el grupo.
Didier Deschamps, Joachim Löw y Fernando Santos contaban con los mejores equipos desde el vamos. Ponerlos entre los favoritos del torneo y llamar a la serie el Grupo de la Muerte caía de cajón.
Friday's Euro 2020 quarterfinal between Belgium and Italy has the potential to be a standout game in a tournament full of wildly entertaining matchups.
Both sides topped their groups with three wins out of three and they each scored seven goals as well. Belgium allowed just one goal in group play while Italy managed to keep three clean sheets and stretched an already impressive run to over 1,000 minutes without conceding.
Cuando Francia gana, la vida es color de rosa. Pero basta un pequeño tropiezo para tener que ir a buscar un balde de palomitas y ver el drama que se desencadena.
Pasó con el boicot de los jugadores a Raymond Domenech, en pleno Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010; con el supuesto chantaje sexual que involucró a Mathieu Valbuena y Karim Benzema, que dejó a este último seis años fuera de Les Bleus; y ahora con la masiva pelea entre la madre de Adrien Rabiot y las familias de Paul Pogba y Kylian Mbappé, tras la sorpresiva eliminación de Francia en la Euro 2020.
While the Euros roll on through the knockout rounds, we have plenty of wild fan interactions already. From fans showing up to support their team in the wrong country to pitch invaders wielding rainbow flags, anything goes as fans are enjoying their time back. Football fans were kept from stadiums and fully supporting their teams for over a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, diminished to yelling at screens instead of faces, so we wouldn't expect anything less extravagant than what has been happening. Let's take a look at the best Euro 2020 fans so far.
Ucrania está en los cuartos de final de la Euro 2020. La selección de Andriy Schevchenko se deshizo de Suecia de manera dramática, en el minuto 121 de la prórroga, en un partido parejo, emotivo y que dejó un momento realmente espeluznante: la terrible patada que recibió el delantero Artem Besyedin.
La jugada se produjo en el minuto 97 y en ella se ve al defensor sueco Marcus Danielson, entrando con los tachones arriba y sobre la rodilla de Besyedin. En principio, el árbitro le había puesto amarilla, pero tras revisar el VAR, la roja se volvió inevitable.
The Round of 16 duel between Sweden and Ukraine finished with the underdogs Ukraine claiming a 2-1 victory. A disturbing Artem Besyedin injury in extra time put a major damper on the mood.
Swedish defender Marcus Danielson was rightfully shown a red card after VAR review for an extremely high and dangerous tackle on Besyedin.
When I first heard UEFA's plans to not have just one host city for Euro 2020, I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised.
The idea makes sense. Spread fans out across eleven host cities, which prevents hundreds of thousands of supporters descending on one particular country or city. It mitigates the COVID-19 risks (not something that was on the minds of organizers in 2020, but is beneficial in 2021) and helps the many host countries and cities financially without giving too much home field advantage to one country — at least in theory.
