They were showing Euro Cup soccer...sorry, football...on the TV at the diner just now while I was trying to stuff my face like a self-respecting American, and I feel I must now speak up: I don't give a crap about soccer!!!!! <cough> Thank you. I feel much better.
Sorry, guys! Germany was such a disappointment tonight... Lost their spark.
After the dramatic games of Thursday:
Dieter: 70
Scher: 100
Mick: 80
Hawk: 0
Snow: 0
Tomorrow:
Italy v Sweden
Czech Republic v Croatia
Spain v Turkey
Snow and Hawk> You get another 100 at the start of next round!
Good God! I missed the game last night and went to bed early. Found out about this shocking result this morning. I have never cried so hard in my life before. ; -)

If snow or hawk want to borrow a few shells I am rolling in cash, and can see you are both good steady low risk types unlikely to blow it all - say 10 usuries each and pay me back (*) when the knockouts start. I'm all heart.

.Meanwhile 10 surethings on Italy and Spain
*(+ 50%)
Damn! I thought I was safely out of it :DQuote:

20 on Spain with a heavy heart
Ok, I'm wagering everything I've got on a win for Belgium!
10 on Belgium.....phew 1 min to go
I fancy Hungary for this one.
10 on hungary
but c'mon Iceland!
10 on portugal
Yup gotta agree. Portugal.
After Thursday's games:
Dieter: 70
Scher: 120
Mick: 110
Hawk: 0
Snow: 0
Tomorrow:
Switzerland v France
Romania v Albania
With very little confidence I'll have 10 Zutalors on France and 10 Gypsycreams on Romania.
ps. Hawk, you didn't irresponsibly release all those smurfs into the wild did you - driving out the indiginous population of gnomes and pixies.
I too favour the fortunes of the French. And we know the Rumanians can shoot straight. Just ask Ceaucescu...
Now Mick: Scher had the smurfs last. She's the banker and deprived me of them when the Germans let me down. If your environs are now overrun with rogue Smurfs, you only have Scher to blame! Try not to think of the Smurfs as an invasive species but more as contributing the the region's biodiversity...
I am sorry... When I edited, the changes weren't saved, I think.
Hawk, how many croissants do you have now?
Can't believe they put both games at the same time today :-/
Scher, I don't believe I have any croissants.... Or Smurfs. I guess you need 2 TVs to watch the games simultaneously.
Clash between France and Switerland will be quite interesting and France are likely to win this match. It is difficult to decide who's going to win the other game, Romania perhaps.
By the way, I see a close competition between Mick and Scher, though not as close as I'm seeing between me and Hawk right now. :D
20 on France
10 on Romania
Well! Who'd've thought it? Ho Ho ho
So! You're all too demoralised to care, eh? Well I'm betting all of the smurfs that I haven't got on England in a blindly optimistic act of patriotism.
I shall go 10 for England and 10 for Wales... Maybe if we wish it enough, it could happen, right?
Before Monday's games:
Dieter: 70
Scher: 90
Mick: 90
Hawk: 0
Snow: 0
Wales are doing really well. Looks like my Welsh genes want me to back them too.
England disappoint, once again, though their draw gives them a second place, but Wales rampant against Russia. Well done Wales, who win the group.
England v Iceland
Hmm, a small island with an insular mindset suffering from a self-inflicted financial crisis, but still, we should be able to beat Iceland
Right, 100 Turkeyswhovotedforchristmasses on England.
I am sorry that I got distracted by the turmoil in the UK... Everyone has +100 now but due to drop in the value of the pound, it is actually worth 90 :p
Hopefully the British players will not decide to stick it to the manager by losing on purpose :-/
I will bet 20 on Spain and 100 on England
After Monday's games:
Dieter: 170
Scher: 70
Mick: 90
Hawk: 100
Snow: 100
I am stunned after yesterday's matches... Can't believe England is out - yet once again. In every job, there is a performance-based pay. Why not the same for these footballers? :cuss::cuss::cuss:
Betting 80 on Portugal... Considering how the recent games played out, I should of course bet on Poland...
*edit* I mean 70 on Portugal as that is all I had... Typo on the phone.
Before Friday's game:
Dieter: 170
Scher: 140
Mick: 90
Hawk: 100
Snow: 100
I really want Wales to win this one but not sure that it will happen... Wish we could call a draw!
Nobody is betting today?
All right, 50 on Belgium.
Oooooooo! Unlucky, Snowy. Never mind. :D
Lol How nice of you to come and console me in a time when I'm in great distress. I knew you'll be the first to respond. :smilewinkgrin:
Snowy: Chivalry may be coughing up blood, but it's not dead yet! :D
Ok 30 Smurfs on Iceland.
20 on France
lol...Good to see you back with your smurfs.Quote:

I've left my footprints behind me, though. Never mind. I'd like Iceland to win but I don't really care enough lol.
I think from now on I'll just keep putting everything Germany.
