Diamonds, Drop Goals and a Very Quick Night in Vegas
From blowouts Down Under to a first-round finish in Vegas, the community had plenty of calls to make this week — some nailed it, some got sent packing. Here's how it all played out.
MLB
The Rangers-Angels rubber match swung wildly both ways, but the real story was Toronto putting nine past the Giants after the crowd backed San Francisco to get it done. Cincinnati fans had the last laugh though, calling Reds wins in back-to-back nights against the Phillies.
Australian AFL
Brisbane put on an absolute clinic, smashing Essendon 149-59 with the majority calling it right, while Adelaide's 128-49 romp over Gold Coast left the doubters looking silly. Carlton, on the other hand, got flogged by Hawthorn despite the crowd backing them in — tough scenes.
FIFA World Cup
England shut down Norway as the majority predicted, and Spain kept rolling, first past Belgium and then knocking out France in style — flipping the script after the crowd had backed Les Bleus just days earlier.
English Rugby League Super League
St Helens fans backing their own for the win got a brutal reality check as Toulouse ran riot 46-0. Wigan kept the good times going with a solid win over Warrington, right where the community had them.
Australian National Rugby League
Cronulla put 66 unanswered points on the Dolphins in an absolute demolition job the crowd saw coming. The Roosters also delivered exactly what the majority ordered against Parramatta.
UFC
McGregor vs Holloway 2 lived fast and died faster — Holloway needed just over a minute to finish it by TKO. No majority call locked in for this one, so it's all still to play for next time you jump in the app.
