    The Rules: <cough similar to Imposter’s gaa one>

    Group Phrase
    - One point for each correct match result (i.e Italy Win/Draw)
    - 2 bonus points for each correct group winner and 1 point for correct second place.

    Second Phrase
    - Two points for each correct match result (i.e Italy Win)

    - The competition will begin on May 12th 5pm (first match)
    - Choices must be made all in one go. No editing posts after the 12 May 5pm
    - People may enter the competition late but obviously will have forfeited points for games already decided
    - The management reserve the right to change their minds

    Please keep any discussion of this competition to a separate thread as it will make it easier to keep track of this and respond to any queries/problems.
    Below is a template. Please reply to it with your choices.

    <*may edit scoring system closer to 12th*>

    Good luck

    i know, but i have a feeling at least half the favourites won't do too well, it seems to be tradition at major international tournaments the last few years anyway. in terms of Greece, as a national team and seeing them play i know they work well together as a team with the pressure on and are well organised despite having not done too well in previous major tournaments.

    Maybe so in the last World Cup but if you recall Euro 2000,
    France bt Spain 1/4s (jammy gits)
    France bt Portugal 1/2s (jammy gits again)
    France bt Italy Final (and if it wasn't for Delvicho they would have lost)

    Italy bt Romania 1/4s (Romania knocked out England in the group)
    Italy bt Holland 1/2s

    So, they were pretty much the top teams in the tournament.

    My actual definition of jammy is they should have lost and they didn't.
    Now my memory is rusty but I do remember in the case of the Portugal match anway, that the Portugese should have gone through. It was a golden goal in the end I think that knocked them out.
    I'm pretty sure it went down to the wire with Spain aswell, but I can't remember. I do remember being gutted when both of them lost, because they could both were so close to progressing.

    The Dutch should have beaten Italy. That match was a farce. Had they beaten them, well they'd have probably beaten the French for the 2nd time in the tournament.

    The point of the post was however, that France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Holland would be considered favourites for a tournament like this.

    well, so far my first prediction is correct, and that was based purely knowing that Greece work better as a team, have a better manager and have the drive needed to get out of group A...

    i agree there. they shouldn't be allowed to predict on teams that have already played as they can have a better idea of current competitive form then us who placed are decisions having only watched friendlies and the qualifying from months, years back.

    Group A

    Portugal v Greece = Portugal
    Spain v Russia = Spain
    Greece v Spain = draw
    Russia v Portugal = Portugal
    Russia v Greece = Greece
    Spain v Portugal = Portugal

    Group A
    First Place (A1) = Portugal
    Second place (A2) = Spain
    Quick Question. I predicted that Greece would draw with Spain and beat Russia, I also predicted that Portugal will beat Spain. If thats the case Greece will win the group. Should I be hoping Spain beat Greece so?

    Ah, but my good friend Phenom I've tried to do that already!! ;)

    It's 688kb unzipped and 431kb zipped.

    I have to say though, it's very good. It's the one that normally does the rounds every time that there's a major tournament on. Has all the match dates, venues, groups and the groups calculate as you put the scores in. Looks well too!

    I suppose if I can't get it hosted anywhere, if anybody wants it the could just pm me.

    Does boards not offer some free space . Could you put it there. Not sure of the restrictions re size content etc. I have some webspace if you want I will put it up on that for you.
