Euro 2012 - Open Thread

[ExSCA]

For the few football fans amongst us - an Open thread for the Euro 2012 Championships starting today... up to date schedule and results here

Not allowed : slagging off football (you might not like it, but others do - get over yourself)

Allowed : slagging off the French, Dutch, Spanish, English teams (including EBLJT - Englands Brave and Loyal John Terry)

I'll put my marker down now - I quite fancy the Dutch to win it some great players, and a sense of cohesion we haven't seen for years. England - I hope not, but I fear out in the semi-finals.

Current odds:

Spain 11/4 Germany 3/1

Netherlands 6/1 France 9/1

England 12/1 Italy 16/1

Portugal 20/1 Russia 20/1

Poland 40/1 Croatia 50/1

Ukraine 50/1 Sweden 66/1

Czech Republic 80/1 Greece 80/1

Denmark 80/1 Rep Ireland 80/1

 

[Darkside]

Germany or Spain to win.

Russia are the dark horse.

Dutch to all fall out with each other, again.

England to semi's, struggle with defencive problems, and go out.

 

[ExSCA]

Tobi - who is your money on?

So far we have Matt - Dutch / Darkside - pick one of yours...

 

[Darkside]

Germany

 

[TobyM]

Can't see past Germany TBH - pains me to say it

I'll also be cheering on the Poles as they have foxy girls (not playing) locally

 

[TobyM]

In fact £5 on Poland tonight!

 

[TobyM]

Change of mind - Poland to win and Russia/Czech draw as a double

Change of mind - Poland to win and Russia/Czech draw as a double

Ouch Tobi....How about Dutch to progress even having lost first game?

 

[TobyM]

Ouch indeed! Bloody Poland draw & Russia win! Dutch could do it but they can't find the goal!

 

[TobyM]

So - France 6/4, draw 2/1, England 9/4.

Can't make up my mind so giving it a miss

 

[Fuzrat]

Hate to be un patriotic, but I see France 2-0.
