Even I did pretty well in the game, with a little help from that octopus. :lol:Quote:

Spain all the way - they are head and shoulders above everyone else in the world and have been for the past few years. Germany and Holland are strong sides, but the passing game of the Spanish is out-of-this-world, and they way they cut teams open at will is quite a thing of beauty.
It's not about belief - it's about hope. I also like an underdog to win against the odds. Anyway, I'm from England... who else could I support?Quote:

Especially all the drama has been going on recently, now they have a good excuse as well.Quote:

It's all a cunning plan to blind the opposition and lull them into - oh we're 2 - nil down to Holland - into a false sense of winning-ness.
Bah
And Cahill has scored. 2-1. See. Cunning.
Now 2 -2... now Holland've scored again.
3-2. The game's taken off.
All right... Here we go!Quote:

10 Dr on Greece to win
10 Drachmas on a draw Russia - Czech.

However, because I like meaningful bets (and frankly 100 drachmae won't buy you a piece of chewing gum even if somebody else has been chewing it), I'm going to ask for a raise in stakes. Let's say each one of us has 100,000,000.
*Naturally* I'm going to put my money on Greece for the opening game. We'll park the bus in front of goal and wait for Gekas to hit the hosts on the counter-attack. It's similar to our national strategy of refusing to face reality and hitting it on the counter-attack by voting in a leftist government. 50 million on Greece.
Russia vs Czech: 50 million on a bore draw (most likely 0-0).
Best,
DH
Two very tight and cagey games I think.
My bets.
Poland and Greece - DRAW 20 D
Russia and Czech R - DRAW 10 D
Reminder: If you run of drachmae, you will have to wait until the finals to join the game again when we receive 100 M more Drachmae.
I hate draws and I am hoping that we will see wins today (with plenty of goals).
Go Croatia!
