Any predictions for Latvia-Germany?
In the absence of a decent price on a German win, I've taken Latvia to win 2-1 with Ballack to score for Germany first. I got 150/1.

Den, as far as the predictions go, your Portugal/Russia prediction puts you firmly ahead.
I did have the scoreline covered in one of my bets on the last England match, but my scatter-gun approach to betting doesn't really count!

I think this is a really tough one to call, Den.
I haven't managed to get a bet on but I would fancy a 2-2 draw.
If Larsson were to score first you could get odds of 60/1 on that bet.
I think I might have also taken Italy to win 2-1 with Larsson as the opening scorer at 60/1.
(Of course now that I've don't have any money riding on it, one of those bets is sure to come in!!)

Anyone foe Italy and Sweden. I see a draw. I messed up with my predictions yesterday. How are we doing on the predictions score C-flat? Do we get extra points if we predict the score?

Those are good odds, but I think Croatia are a difficult team to break down. Henri is a good bet at anytime.
Good luck with that one.

This is good betting if you only bet a quid and good fun.

Guest when you get personal and start swearing at me then I find that unacceptable. You are breaking the rules of the forum.

I have my viewpoint and if you don't agree thats fine, but don't get personal OK

If you want to discuss without getting offensive then do so.

Date: 17 Jun 04 - 11:15 AM

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!

What a goal from Van Nistelrooy though. Anyone for Portugal beating Russia? Dare I say 2-0, Portugal. In the other game which is in the 56th minute Spain are leading through a goal from Morientes. So far 5 yellow cards have been dished out. I say Spain will win ;-)

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.

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.

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.

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...)
