The group stage diagrams and predictions based on them can be found here -
https://fulltimesportsfan.wordpress.com/2025/06/29/euro-2025-group-stage-network-diagrams/How did the group stage predictions go?From group A, I predicted Norway and Switzerland would qualify for the quarterfinals, and I was right, even if it involved extra time goals in the decider.
Group B, I predicted Spain and AN other, which I am aware is a bit of a "the sky is blue" sort of prediction.
Group C, I predicted Germany and Sweden
Group D, I predicted Netherlands and one of England and France, which was oh so wrong.
So out of 8, I am willing to call that about equivalent to 5/8.
With that in mind, here are
the quarterfinal network diagrams( Four figures under the cut )Sweden are the national team closest to the centre (just, vs. Norway). Either Lyon or Bayern Munich are the club team closest to the centre.
Barcelona are the team with the most representatives left in with 14, then comes Bayern Munich and Juventus with 13 then Chelsea with 12.
Predictions for the quarterfinals:These are quite difficult because Italy and Spain are pulled out by how many of their players play for Juventus and Barcelona respectively, while Bayern Munich, and the players that play for them, are pulling together Sweden and Germany, and Arsenal and Chelsea are holding together England, Sweden and Norway.
Sweden vs England - Diagram says Sweden
Norway vs Italy - Diagram says Norway, plus every single women's football pundit keeps bewailing how often Italy somehow manage to screw up. On the other hand, Norway trip over their own feet also.
France vs Germany - Diagram says Germany just. Football fan says "ooooh".
Spain vs Switzerland - Remember how I said Barcelona pulled Spain out of the diagram. This really reflects that. Switzerland are far closer to the centre. On the other hand, there is no way I can see Switzerland beating this Spanish team.
Lonely Prompts Sunday, Week 28 [DW Edition]
13 July 2025 07:35 am↑↑↑ Available dates:
July 29 & 31
August 5 & 7
August 12 & 14
Hello! ^.^ I hope your weekend is treating you well. Let's enjoy a nice little Lonely Prompts day, shall we? If this is your first time at
How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2024 collection. See further notes on this option here.
