Qualifying sessions for the month of March begin this Thursday.

Was really happy to see Max run well though, was hoping he'd get within DRS zone to overtake Hamilton but never quite happened. If he hadn't of run into the grass with 12 to go, he surely would've. It was too funny to hear the team conversation "let's have a party the final 10 laps" and then he goes off the track.

Sweet, let's see if I can keep it up! I know I didn't pick a 'top 3' driver to win so I was bit worried, but I was hoping the new aero package would shake things up!

I could never understand 'team orders' -- to me it's a joke. Leclerc is faster than Vettel yet is told not to pass him? Lame.

I just think this year's edition is too unpredictable to assume it'll be chalk at this point.

Ajax Liverpool City United That will be the semifinals.

Australia Alfa Romeo: Raikkonen [Q, R] v Giovinazzi Ferrari: Vettel [Q, R] vs Leclerc Haas: Grosjean [Q, R] vs Magnussen McLaren: Sainz Jr vs Norris [Q, R] Mercedes: Hamilton [Q, R] vs Bottas Racing Point: Perez [Q, R] vs Stroll Red Bull: Verstappen [Q, R] vs Gasly Renault: Hulkenberg vs Ricciardo [Q, R] Toro Rosso: Kvyat [Q, R] vs Albion Williams: Kubica [Q, R] vs Russell Pole position: Hamilton Race winner: Raikkonen

March Madness (college basketball) and March International Football matches.

No problem, I actually have them ranked much higher now, because that 85th ranking was before I had done the last update to the rankings.

St. Vincent & the Grenadines win the Windward Islands Tournament, their fifth such title.

They should take a page from NASCAR and award like 5 points for the one who led the most laps and 1 point to anyone who led at least one lap. It makes the pit strategies even more intriguing because cars in the back will time it so they can lead that one lap before pitting.

There's a legit possibility we'll have four English teams in the quarterfinals. That's amazing. What an extremely upset-filled knockout round, I've loved following it.

No problem, it's a big hobby of mine.

Oh they've been terrible in recent years, trust me. In 2016, during the EURO finals, I had them ranked somewhere in the 40s/50s for sure but consider what they've done since: 2016 vs. Faroe Islands - WC Qualifier - 0:0 vs. Switzerland - WC Qualifier - 2:3 vs. Latvia - WC Qualifier - 2:0 vs. Andorra - WC Qualifier - 4:0 vs. Sweden - Friendly - 0:2 2017 vs. Portugal - WC Qualifier - 0:3 vs. Russia - Friendly - 0:3 vs. Andorra - WC Qualifier - 0:1 vs. Latvia - WC Qualifier - 3:1 vs. Portugal - WC Qualifier - 0:1 vs. Switzerland - WC Qualifier - 2:5 vs. Faroe Islands - WC Qualifier - 1:0 vs. Luxembourg - Friendly - 1:2 vs. Costa Rica - Friendly - 1:0 2018 vs. Kazakhstan - Friendly - 2:3 vs. Scotland - Friendly - 0:1 vs. Belarus - Friendly - 1:1 vs. Australia - Friendly - 1:2 vs. Finland - UEFA Nations League - 0:1 vs. Greece - UEFA Nations League - 2:1 vs. Greece - UEFA Nations League - 0:1 vs. Estonia - UEFA nations League - 3:3 vs. Estonia - UEFA Nations League - 2:0 vs. Finland - UEFA Nations League - 2:0 This kind of resume is going to tank any team. They had a bit of a mini 'golden age' back in 2015-16, but went through a lot of changes since. I think they're last two Nations League results are showing they might have something in this EURO campaign but we'll see. I always root for them, Iceland, and Albania more than any other European nations teebs.

Of all the groups, I would say a top-two of Switzerland and Denmark have the best chance to slip up over any other group, so at least Ireland has that going for it.

I just wanted to have a thread that keeps tracks of my rankings, posts all fixtures in the world of international football, tracks results, and keeps up on what teams have qualified for all tournaments. Whenever the World Cup or EURO is discussed here I tell people how I follow all matches in every corner of the world and this thread is the proof. :cheer: The ranking thing is something I've been doing as a hobby since 2012. I've updated the format a couple of times and the latest one is what I'm most comfortable with. I won't bore anyone with the math but basically it takes into a account the result of a match (win/loss/draw), the goal differential (blowouts are marginalized to not give a bonus if you beat San Marino 10-0), and the importance of the match (matches are weighted so friendlies are worth least, then qualifiers/small tournaments, then major continental tournaments, then World Cup), and all of it multiplied by the quality of the opponent. This gives each team a rating based on the average match performance over a four year span where matches in the past two years are slightly weighted higher. If you don't care about the ranking I post or think it's bogus, that's fine just ignore it. :lol:

I just casually watch the races I can (some of them are at inconvenient hours over here in the U.S.) I think I've become a bit of a Max fan, so I'd like to see him continue to improve this season.

Will there be any more parody this season or will it be Mercedes/Ferrari/Red Bull dominating again?

Group A: (7) England, (42) Czech Republic, (61) Bulgaria, (76) Montenegro, (55) Kosovo Group B: (6) Portugal, (29) Ukraine, (24) Serbia, (149) Lithuania, (112) Luxembourg Group C: (15) Netherlands, (9) Germany, (44) Northern Ireland, (109) Estonia, (96) Belarus Group D: (13) Switzerland, (10) Denmark, (48) Republic of Ireland, (65) Georgia, (153) Gibraltar Group E: (14) Croatia, (37) Wales, (34) Slovakia, (85) Hungary, (124) Azerbaijan Group F: (3) Spain, (16) Sweden, (41) Norway, (33) Romania, (134) Faroe Islands, (162) Malta Group G: (26) Poland, (32) Austria, (89) Israel, (92) Slovenia, (57) Macedonia, (148) Latvia Group H: (4) France, (53) Iceland, (43) Turkey, (97) Albania, (143) Moldova, (152) Andorra Group I: (2) Belgium, (36) Russia, (56) Scotland, (122) Cyprus, (127) Kazakhstan, (182) San Marino Group J: (22) Italy, (20) Bosnia-Herzegovina, (73) Finland, (54) Greece, (100) Armenia, (161) Liechtenstein Those are my world rankings above. Based on that I'd say England has one of the tougher groups based solely on the fact that no team is a cakewalk, especially on the road. They only need to place top 2 though, so I don't see an issue.
