Much as I don't like to I agree that the tourny has been pretty enjoyable so far. I'm sure that will all finish once the group stages are finished mind.

I'd like to announce that I'm taking official credit for the good football so far that you all are agreeing is. Once I start tipping the scores and wins, I'm not. Bring on more rubbish tipping

Blimey. That goal forks my prediction, but I don't care. That was a beauty.

Fucked by an injury-time goal for the second time in two days. Bloody tinpot referees from backward little countries that aren't even in the finals, ruining the sodding competition for everyone.

At the last tournament the ref from that country gave three yellow cards to the same player. It shouldn't be allowed really.

They also forked the offiside for the Polish goal of course.

I'm guessing with those overnight scores, I'm firmly anchoring the table. Much like Stu ended up doing to the seabed in his Naval game

Christ, what a fun competition so far.
I'd gander Netherlands will try "hard" but yet unable to beat a spirited Romania, thus will be sorry to see the world champions and world cup finalist going home :humb:

If you remember how the Italians went out at Euro 2004 (and how they reacted to it) then seeing them go out here in vaguely similar surroundings would be worth a giggle.

MOrning, geniuses (genii, whatever...) we require some predictions from most of you for the impending Third Group Game. How rivetting.
Phase 3 required 4. Hornet 5. Moo 6. Narkle 7. Pops 8. s1ut 10. Spanky 11. Stewpot

Stewpot - my apologies, you did send them. I just missed it.
All - due to the nature of the Turkey/Czech Rep game being able to go to penalties, we're going to go with the "90 minute" rule, like we've been doing over the years with the KO stages. In other words, your prediction should reflect the score at the end of the regulation 90 minutes.
Thanks to Mr Bismarck for the reminder and to Fuzzy who has sent in his QF picks already because of his trip. That jogged my memory a bit.
I'll update the relevant first post in the thread.

In other news, if Spanky and Narkle don't get a move on, they'll be predicting 9-9 draws.

Well that was a boring and uneventful game.

Post by Moo on Jun 15, 2008 21:15:33 GMT
Yes, especially as I had 2-2. Can people please start sending in their Phase 3B games, so we don't get some more 9-9 predictions? Narkle is already claiming the moral victory as we speak.

I really am terribly bad at this.
Thankfully.
I think the phrase is "whoof".

The keeper should get some sort of award for being able to push Jan Koller over.

He did, he got a red card.

I had trouble getting on in time; I've sent through the rest of round 3, hopefully my other half of 3a still counts.
I was leaning towards an 18-goal thriller in the Greece game anyway.

Post by Moo on Jun 16, 2008 8:33:23 GMT
Spanky - yes, the other "3a" games are fine. I just group them as such as it's easier to keep an eye on from my point of view, and probably yours too.
Apologies for not keeping on top of this a bit more though.
