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 Crying or Very sad ) 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? Cool

I'll keep track of the scores in a leaderboard up here at the top which I'll update regularly.

Game on!

Final Postitions after Group Stage

1. 63% 45/72 Grand Duke
2. 58% 42/72 Fbaezer
3. 50% 18/36 Holly311
4. 46% 33/72 Gravy
5. 38% 27/72 MyOwnUsername


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!

I think it would be better if we go round by round, and not to have to predict all results of group stage immidiately - injuries, cards, mentality (e.g. if Croatia wins two games /they will not, but as example/ and they are sure to go to next stage, they will lose third even if playing with San Marino), etc...

Hmmm... MOU

Although we may agree on the semifinalists, I see some strange things in your predictions:

Germany scores only one goal in 3 games.
And not even you thinks Hrvatska will qualify!

well, results are only for fun, 1, X and 2 are counting Smile

And, I hope we might qualify in front of England but if I HAD to bet I wouldn't bet on Croatia. Simply, France and England have better odds....we do have chance, but...
Although, since every normal person on the planet would put Croatia on third place in our group, it's most probably that we will be first, second or fourth, just not third. Very Happy

No problems my friend. You can change your mind as often as you like. I will take which ever prediction is the last one you posted before the game started.

"It's too early to see a clear leader at this point. We'll have to play the waiting game a bit longer here at Euro2004. Back to you in the studio...."

we are crazy fbaezer. it's actually becoming predictable crazyness.
I am actually sorry that we played 2-2 today. Because if France had won easily, then England would be without any chance against us. Simply, no chance. If any team would play 0-0 with Switzerland and then lost, let's say, 0-3 with France, they would be already home. But not Croatia. When Croatia is subject, you can be sure that they will win third game and advance to next round. Especially when opponent is England that, when it comes to soccer, has worst kind of Balkan mentality.
But we had to play good with France Sad

Now England is favourit again.
