Sorry it's a bit last-minute but I thought there'd be enough interest to make this work and it should be alot of fun. Hopefully.
The idea is that you try to predict the outcome of each match and score points for getting it right. Here are the rules:
1) If you get it right, you score 3 points.
2) If you don't guess, or get it wrong (eg. You predict a win for England, but France win
) then you score no points.
3) The person(s) with the most points after the final on 4 July wins the championship.
4) To make a prediction, simply quote my first post and add in your guesses, or simply make your own post if you don't need all the matches.
5) Predictions can be made or altered anytime up to 1 hour before the game by posting them here. I'll use the date & time stamp on the posts to judge if an entry has been made on time.
6)
DO NOT EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL PREDICTIONS - as I may not notice that they have been changed.
7) Fixtures after the group stages will be posted once the teams have been decided.
There is no actual prize, but surely the smug sense of satisfaction should be enough?
I'll keep track of the scores in a leaderboard up here at the top which I'll update regularly.
Game on!

I was off work for 10 days and don't have net access at home, which should hopefully excuse my lack of updates. Since we've now missed most of the knockout matches, it seems prudent to end the competition now (especially 'cos I'm at the top!).
Hopefully everyone had a modicum of fun!
