Euro 2008With the kick off less than a week away, I am starting to look forward to this tournament.Who is going to win? It is really hard to pick this time around. Maybe the winner will come out of the toughest Group C. Although I quite like the looks of Spain and Portugal as well. Anyway a couple of beers and football on the box all summer. The only way it could get better is if Scotland were there. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/f...hedule_and_statistics/default.stm |

Portugal for me.
And I'm not just saying that because I make £22.50 if get to the Final, and an extra £40 if they win the thing, oh no. |

Starting to get excited for the beginning now as well.
I'd like to see Croatia and Sweden do well. |

Ronaldo top goal scorer must be worth a shout.
Hope Croatia don't win it. We'll never hear the end of it. "At least we got put out by the winners, blah, blah, blah...!!" |

Podolski might be a good shout at top scorer he's scored something like 27 goals in 41 games for Germany or similar | ||||

I see Henry missed training yesterday. I have him in my Fantasy Football team, so he better not be injured. | ||||

Nice start to the tournament.
Particularly since I had a doubler on the Czech's and Portugal 
|

Aye ! You're topping the table at the end of the first day. Well done. (There's plenty time for others to join in the prediction game !) |
||||
| Reluctant Hero |
The table is looking good
As is my bank balance as I took another doubler tonight on Croatia and Germany
|
||||
| macnumpty |
Well, I had the same double... shame I had the Czechs and Swiss to draw. 
Stil, £8.11 profit for the two days - a gain's a gain!

Thought Austria were pretty fortunate tonight to get the draw, although it is about time a ref made a stand on shirt pulling in the box. Funny how it is in favour of the co-hosts though 
|
||||
| macnumpty |
Well, to be fair, the Ref in the Switzerland/Czech Republic game didn't take a stand on handball in the box, much to the other co-hosts' dismay...
|

RH returns to the top of the table despite having played less games.
Well done ! |
||||
| Reluctant Hero |
Think the third round of games could be a bit more tricky with the likes of Spain already qualified. Will they rest players? |

Congratulations to Robbiedoo for lifting the trophy and maintaining Scotsgait's winning ways in the prediction game. I hope the 'Well do him proud in the season to come (except, of course, when they meet the Jambos).
Darkside and RH shoudl also be congratulated for their valiant efforts which just failed at the last. The SPL prediction game for 2008/09 will be launched shortly. Keep watching for further details ! |
