EURO2008 Prediction League

[Guest Accept]

I believe Accept picks up a cool 3 points and leaves the rest of us with 0. How about that.

Thank you, Tigranes. I believe Croatia really have some potential in this tournament, especially if Srna and Krajncar is playing like they did today. And The Kov

[Hildegard]

You're a fool if you think Croatia will beat Germany. Jackass.

 

 

Now you are a frikin jackass

 

 

To all the German and those whose favorites are Germany and who speculated how Germany will easily beat Croatia:

 

 

UP YOURS

[Tigranes]

Nice triple, Hilde. I definitely like Croatia, if not for Eduardo, then for their entertaining style of play. They are a good team. I predicted a narrow German win because I believed that after the first game, Low would see reason and drop Gomez, and supply Podolski with more (and you saw what he can do), and also start Schweinsteiger. I was wrong, and Low showed a total lack of creativity or ambition when he fielded that exact same side. The same culprits that were useless in the Poland game (Gomez, Ballack, Jansen) let down the whole team again, and this time Croatia was a lot better than Poland.

 

I still believe that without Eduardo as the mercurial finisher, there will come a game in the knockout stages where Croatia will just not be able to find that goal - but I do hope they go far, and think they can.

 

Truly a monumental match ahead in Austria v. Poland.

Moron. Haven't hit the Goal. Saub

Although Germany is a good team, my opinion is that they were a bit over-hyped after the game with Poland and we were underestimated because most of the people judged us based on our play against Austria and that was a huge mistake to do.

 

I hope we will advance to the next stage, Eduardo is missed and as a result we are not as good as we can but I know the rest of the guys will do their best and that's the only thing I could hope for and then what happens happens

[Morgoth]

1:1

 

Our Vastic saved the day. Still, it's a shame that Austria missed in the first 20 min very often, when they played so agressive and precise at the beginning, but jaded out later.

Vastic is ours

 

Hehehehehe kidding....Austria deserved a draw but it shouldn't have come from that questionable penalty in my opinion although my country now directly qualifies to the quarterfinals.

Questionable? That guy dragged the other violently down. I rather think this aloofly-goal from Poland was questionable, but the referee didn't see it!

[Meshugger]

I missed both matches today, too bad about the GER - CRO too, sounds like it was really interesting

[Tigranes]

It's not questionable unless you're Italian and you think shirt-pulling is okay. It's true that refs don't always give this kind of foul a penalty, but that's because the refs are wrong, not because it's not a penalty. It's a foul anywhere else in the field, so why shouldn't it be a penalty there? It's only not given because the refs have allowed it to become so prevalent, youd' be giving 20 penalties a game by now.

 

Austria did deserve it, but it was really sad watching them - they really lifted their game for the Euros and were giving it their best, but they just didn't have it in their repertoire to finish cannily or coolly. The Germany-Austria game is going to be very interesting.

 

Diogo Ribeiro and Pidesco now lead with 5 points, thanks to their 1-1 prediction. Table updated:

 

 

Finally, it seems everybody forgot about the Top Scorer prediction:

 

At the same time, we will have a Top Goalscorer prediction that is valid until the start of the first game of the competition. If you are correct, you will get 10 points!

 

Offer expires by the end of Round 2. I know half of you will pick Villa, but that is not always the wisest course of action (queue cruciate injury)...

[Pidesco]

Woohoo!

:lol:

 

You should thank me, I opened my big mouth and ginksed Germany!

 

Still undecided on top scorer.

I assure you that was all purely random. My Delorean DMC-12 had nothing to do with this.

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Also, David Villa for top goalscorer.

Hehehehehe

 

Yeah you actually helped, because we just love it when they underestimate us

Italy-Romania...a hard match...but that Luca Tony's first goal was regular. They are running the 3D analysis now and it's not an offside.

[Tigranes]

It wasn't that entertaining for me, Italy continue to be dour and they're going to have tow ork hard to qualify.

 

That said, they don't have the greatest of opopnents in France, who are really out of sorts and their morale has surely been shattered by not only the results, but the fact that qualification is out of their hands.

 

Incredible game from the Dutch again, Van Persie's goal was fantastic team play and Robben's was crazy (if flukey). If they continue to play like this all tournament this team is going straight into legend.

 

I'll update scores later today.

[Hildegard]

The Dutch are the best team so far!!! Great game!!!

[Guest The Architect]

The new table is:

 

1. Diogo Ribeiro ~ 6pts

2. ****face Accept. ~ 5pts

3. Pidesco ~ 5pts

4. Hildegard ~ 4pts

5. Gorth ~ 3pts

6. Me ~ 3pts {****in' linesmen **** disallowing Toni's header}

7. Tigranes ~ 3pts

8. Atreides ~ 2pts

[Tigranes]

'ma table beats yours hanky panky 4 shure.

 

 

I am saddened by how much I suck.

[Guest The Architect]

Indeed. I, however, am merely taking it slowly, timing my charge to inevitable victory with perfection. The load of suck isn't over for you just yet, Tigranes. It's only going to get worse when I surpass you.

[Tigranes]

Sorry, but there's a hidden -5 Aussie modifier

 

Roll to save.

[Guest The Architect]

You can stick that hidden Aussie modifier where the sun don't shine. A have a new goal now. Finishing above the Swede and most importantly, you, the Kiwi mod boy.
