No this is not a thread about a Mudcat gathering, its about the football (soccer to N. Americans) tournament taking place in Portugal in a couple of weeks. So before anyone starts, if you don't like the game or the topic, then please don't participate. We had a little fun with the last world cup thread so I'd like to see a few predictions even weird ones. I predicted that Oliver Neuville would hit the post in the final and he duly complied. So what do you think? Who will win? Will it be host's Portugal, will it be Spain or current champs France, will they take it again. Will it be England or will this be Holland's turn for a major honour. The groups are as follows:

Group A
Greece
Portugal
Russia
Spain

Group B
Croatia
England
France
Switzerland

Group C
Bulgaria
Denmark
Italy
Sweden

Group D
Czech Republic
Germany
Netherlands
Latvia

So there you are. What do you think?

On paper Wolfgang I'd have to agree with you but they do have a habit of chocking in the big games.

BPL about time England did something but will they miss Ferdinand? I have to agree with France but you know I kind of fancy Portugal. They are at home and they have a young quality team and of course you can never count the Italians out.

Well, once you have run up against the more orc-like English football fans, there is a strong temptation to hope for whatever result will, in the words of God Save the Queen "Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks".

In Sainsburys today I saw they have produced hot cross buns with a St Georg's Cross. (But they were selling them off cheap because they hadn't sold at full ptice...)

That means, these are the only things for sure you may predict.

My score predictions are nearly never correct (Netherlands - Germany 2-0 I'd say, nevertheless). The only time I did win a prediction lottery was some Euros ago when I predicted Ireland - England 1 - 0.

I got big praise (and a little money) from all the others and I only had wanted to make a foolish prediction but had failed.

A pound lighter! In only 90 minutes! That's 1 each, Den.
For about 10 minutes of that 90 I was hopeful.
Ideally it will be 3-1 to Holland with either Van Nisterlroy(50/1) or Kluivert(75/1) to score first.
Kluivert has been a recent target for my team (Middlesbrough) so I hope he does it.

They bring shame on the true football supporters.
I went to Cardiff for the Carling Cup final this year and the atmosphere was superb. Both sets of fans were there to enjoy the day, I didn't see or hear of any trouble between the fans and, later that evening, was amazed at how many of the Bolton supporters came over to shake hands and share a drink as we talked over the days events.
They were as dissapointed as we were delighted, but there was no hint of animosity on their part.
Those people are real football fans and I felt proud to be a part of that. These hooligans just make me embarrassed.

I've obviously taken England to win (well I couldn't bet against us!) but there were some good odds on Sol Campbell to score first. Given that he comes up for all the corners I thought it worth a small wager.
I've got 2-1 to England with Campbell to score first at 150/1
4-0 to England with Campbell again, at 375/1
3-0 to England with Gerrard to score first, at 75/1
4-0 to England with Rooney to score first, at 80/1

I don't really care, as long as we win!
