AI Octopus predicts results of Euro 2024: It isn't looking good for England The Euro 2024 international football tournament gets underway today, and we're delighted to report that AI has finally been turned into something useful in the form of a virtual pundit for sports fans. Berlin Germany June 13, 2024: One day before the opening match of Euro2024, preparations are in full swing. The well-secured …
I can confidently say Scotland's fans are the best in the world. I attended a previous Euro qualifying phase match where Scotland was on the receiving end of a handful of goals. Totally unfazed, their supporters kept on partying, amongst themselves and with the home team supporters. Great fun that was, and I'd wish every one behave like that at sports!
Beer icon, because it's deserved and also because it really flowed during that match!
When was the last time that they won something? The only time (that the senior teal) has won something was in 1966. I can remember it as it was the first time I got pissed. Half the bar in Puerto Soller was English and the other half West German. The Germans bought us all a beer at the end of Extra Time. We responded and had a party. I was just 16 but no one was checking ID's.
It is a pretty safe bet to say 'England won't win'. I have to agree with that [redacted][redacted] as manager. He useless as a piece of rotting fish.
The same goes for the Cricket. We won't win.
I'm avoiding sport on TV until the Rugby Season starts.
You think he's useless because the England team did so much better with the likes of Graham "Turnip" Taylor, Kevin Keegan, Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksen, Fabio Capello, Schteve "Wally with the Brolly" McLaren, Uncle Woy Hodgson, and Big Fat Sam Allardyce in charge?
When was that ? Oh yes, 2018, Very relevant then. Funny how people see a sign in any star in the sky. Like any team that has won two matches in a row is on a winning strike. What about the elimination phase where all teams are presented by TV pundits as in good shape and very dangerous comming 1st or 2nd of their group ? That's before the match of course. After the match, everyone will explain why we had one bad team on the pitch, even if the difference is just 1 goal at the 89th minute. I can hardly find any other field where someone who gets it wrong half the time is still considered an expert.
Up to now, that AI octopus seems as good as them.
"Meteorologists get it wrong most of the time...."
Actually modern metereology is practically voodoo magic - temperature variations over the whole day are pretty accurate over a week forecast, and rainy days / periods are very accurately predicted in a 3-day forecast. My local weather app showing patches of rain throughout the day seen on the same morning is usually correct to within about an hour. It gets things badly wrong maybe 1-2 times a year.
