But the biggest mystery of all - how could Nicolas Bendtner have possibly scored a goal in such a tournament?

I think we should be told....

A really bad match. The Portuguese deserved more methinks [8D]

P.S.: overall, the prima donna has failed once again so fair enough [sm=00000622.gif] Just when Fabregas scored the camera showed Ronaldo's face. He was looking at the sky and saying er *something* Perhaps threatening god himself because, he, the richest and most handsome guy won't lift the trophy? Mwhahahahahahahahaha!

Incredibly and against all predictions Italy won against Germany... [X(]

Germany Germany Germany, Germany here and Germany there. People are indeed obsessed with that team... they just forgot er... the Italians... [:D]

I did NOT [8D]

quote:

My prediction is Netherlands or Germany. In that order

The other strong squads that could win: Spain, Italy, England, France (hmmm).

But something has to be said about the Euros: surprises are really possible. That's what we saw many times: for example Greece and Denmark won it.

And now why am I NOT counting the favourites (Spain)? Because of three factors. 1) they already won a lot, and people get tired of that, yes, it happens ; 2) the bad relations between the Barça and Real Madrid players (club utter rivalry); 3) the economic crisis (the morale variable is important on my book, yes, even if the players drive Porsches and Ferraris)

Which also means I don't see the Italians winnning it: the recent football corruption scandals show something is really rotten...
Oh, someone said -I can't remember- beware with RUSSIA!

Here is your statement from the 8th June:

Given the above, are you seriously saying you guessed the Italians??

Goodness!!

And my last prediction. Now I am convinced that the Italians are going to trash the Germans. I also think the Portuguese have NO chance at all vs Spain.

and blah bla blah

I want the Italians to win, watching Spain (a) bores me and (b) annoys me when people state that it is how football should be played.

In fact I want them to win so much that I'm going to back them against what I think will happen.

Spain 0 - Italy 1

Gents can I have your predictions for the final before kick-off tomorrow please?

Only two peeps can still win - Dixie if he gets the score and result right (and redcoat fails to score) will mean we have joint winners. That being the case, all redcoat has to do is match Dixie's prediction and he can't lose. Because of that, do you both want to PM me with your predictions separately and I will only post after I have received both? Dixie I know you have posted already, so you can change given the above. Entirely up to you guys.

Redcoat........22
Dixie............20
rogo727.......18
Zeta16.........18
Orm.............17
british exil....16
warspite1.....14

Just thought I'd bump this to the top as I appear to have a number of forecasts missing - maybe with just two left that can win it, there is a degree of "can't be bothered".

If so, then fair enough, but if you do want to make your last guess then please feel free.

My prediction is either side could win or a draw/penalties. [:D]

I was going to go for Spain 0-1 Italy, but Dixie has already swooped in for that. It would be unsporting of me to park the bus at this stage, so I’ll go for Spain 1-0 Italy. I won't be surprised if it goes to penalties.
