You're underrated Turkey y'all. As my simulated tournament showed, they shouldn't be overlooked. This team has been one of the strongest in the world in the past year. I used to have them ranked in the 50s, but they've climbed all the way up to 22 in short time. Granted, they still lost to many backup English players and I didn't see the match so I couldn't tell you if all the regulars for Turkey were playing, but regardless...I'd be shocked if they don't make a quarterfinal run.

I'm surprised Torres is still on the squad to be honest. His cameo appearances in the 2014 WC seemed to be like 'final goodbye' moments with the national squad.

I don't have cable over in the U.S. so I will be streaming the ESPN matches online.

Multiple simulations using footysimulator.co.uk After running multiple simulations for a matchup, it chose the best scoreline/result by what came up most often. Believe it or not that 7-1 score came up alot. Poor Ireland in major tournaments...

(6-10) MVP of the Group: Alaba (AUT) Round of 16: France 1:2 Ukraine Spain 2:1 Hungary Wales 1:0 Croatia Austria 4:1 Belgium Germany 3:3 Russia [GER 5-3 pens] Italy 0:2 Turkey Romania 0:2 Sweden Slovakia 3:1 Portugal Quarterfinals: Ukraine 2:1 Spain Wales 0:3 Austria [a.e.t.] Germany 0:2 Turkey Sweden 0:3 Slovakia Semifinals: Ukraine 1:0 Austria Turkey 1:0 Slovakia Final: Ukraine 0:2 Turkey MVP of the Knockouts: Turan (TUR) Gold Boot: Janko (AUT) Considering I currently have Ukraine ranked #3 in the world, this is feasible. Also Turkey has been quietly improving after a disastrous 2014 WC campaign. Their EURO qualifying didn't get off to a hot start either, but they were one of the better teams in Europe during the final 2/3 of qualifying.

Off the top of my head: GROUP A France Switzerland Romania Albania GROUP B Slovakia Wales England* Russia GROUP C Germany Ukraine Poland* Northern Ireland GROUP D Spain Croatia Turkey Czech Republic GROUP E Italy Belgium Rep. of Ireland* Sweden GROUP F Austria Iceland Portugal* Hungary *=R16 from 3rd Place Switzerland over Ukraine Portugal over Spain Poland over Slovakia Austria over Belgium Germany over England Croatia over Italy France over Ireland Iceland over Wales Portugal over Switzerland Poland over Austria Germany over Croatia France over Iceland Poland over Portugal Germany over France Poland over Germany Again just off my feelings, I'll run some simulations soon and post the results.

I had no idea on the HSM song. I love that one with Ashley Tisdale, but don't think anyone else does.

One of the best movies of my lifetime.

It had to be Janice. I actually might stan for her the most in the movie. Lizzy Caplan is bae.

I sent her answers after she retracted the '6:00 my time' post, so I'm likely the resource of the #tension.

Germany v. USA is the faux-Championship. The winner walks in the final.

Unbroken was a grower, but with songs like Fix A Heart, Give Your Heart A Break, and Lightweight it's hard to argue against it's overall greatness. Here We Go Again is still her peak and I wish she'd go back to a slightly evolved version of that sound.

Thank you I needed a good laugh this morning... Honestly "Conquer the World" is one of the few songs in her catalogue I love.

As Long As I Got You already gone, what a travesty! :cry:

This Highway Unicorn dragging needs to stop.

Got the Mp3 last night and within an hour and half had 13 plays on my Last.FM...just an amazing breakout single.

I'm ready for her revival. I understand the detest towards DEMI, because the album is very disjointed. As a huge fan of hers, I enjoy each song for what they are though. Looking for her to step it up like her Disney sister Selena just did.

...and that projection is now #3!

Norway 1:0 England USA 2:0 Colombia

Projected for #5 debut on Billboard Charts!
