[CatManDoza]

Final: Germany 0 - 4 Republic of Ireland (AET)

That'll do for me!!!

Think holland or France to win.

Had some bets:
France to win + Benzema Top Scorer
group winners: russia, spain, germany, france
Ireland to get out of group

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Could be ***** to do that but anyway...
Winners: France
Losing Finalist: Germany
Top Goalscorer: Benzema
Player of the Tournament: Ribery
Flop of the Tournament: Italy


And no I am not French!

Edit had a bet of Russia, Germany, Spain & France to top their groups, £5 returns £95 would be insane not to!

 

[johnybig32]

I dont get Ribery at all. Never has impressed when I have seen him.

I hope Eire do well. Could do better than Italy in their group quite easily.

No-one fancying England then?

I had a similar bet but have gone for England to win Group D ahead of France. £5 returns £105. Have a horrible feeling that I've let my heart rule my head on this one...

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I'll be the first on here to say that as an Englishman I'll be rooting for Ireland just as much as England, possibly even more.

 

[Burton Wolf]

I've backed England at 15/1 and Ireland 100/1 both ew. Hope they meet in the quarters. That will mean I have a team in the semis and it will be lay off time

 

[MonkeySpanner]

Germany to win the whole thing

 

[Wolves in Limerick]

Wonderful if Ireland were to do it, but the bookies are usually very accurate. Must remember to put a few bob on ourselves tomorrow. Must say I would like to see England win and anticipate that they will surprise a lot of people including themselves. I must put a few bob on you lot as well.

 

[johnybig32]

I predict Greece will be going home early.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

I prefer not to be on my own team, it's doubly depressing when they let you down.

Makes sense if you look at it in the cold light of day. Both teams are well over priced.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Neville the psychic Llama who was one of the few pundits to predict Chelsea's champions league victory has predicted that England will win the opening two and lose the last group game - so we should qualify as Group winners:

[cobweb]

Roman Pavlachenko top scorer and Germany to win it. 83/1

 

[Tring Wolf]

I have Spain to win it and Miroslav Klose to be top scorer at 55/1. Just hope he plays ahead of Mario Gomez!

 

[Wiltshire Wolfie]

Holland and Germany to get out of their group and meet up again the final.......where Holland win.

 

[johnybig32]

I have Spain to win it and Miroslav Klose to be top scorer at 55/1. Just hope he plays ahead of Mario Gomez!

No chance of that.

 

[Skrilla]

I'd say that with a pinch of salt, my Group A predictions are on track. Just need the Polish to beat the Czechs and the Russians to get a result against Greece!

 

[Sandwell Wolf]

Holland and Germany to get out of their group and meet up again the final.......where Holland win.

I think Germany will smash Holland tonight so that means they'll have $$$$ed it.

Spain to win it.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Germany or Italy to win it IMO

 

[Tring Wolf]

I have Spain to win it and Miroslav Klose to be top scorer at 55/1. Just hope he plays ahead of Mario Gomez!

D'oh! Definitely chose the wrong German striker...

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

D'oh! Definitely chose the wrong German striker...

His odds were far too short anyway. 5/1 IIRC.

 

[Edgmond Wolf]

Germany looking good

 

[wolf97]

I think Russia will get to the semis, along with Germany, France and England (knocking out Spain in the QF)

 

[Skrilla]

Did anyone bet on Alan Dzageov for top scorer?! Already has 3 with Greece yet to play, could win the golden boot just based on group stages... This holland germany game lighting up a bit now, hoping that van persie can bang another one in to keep this group interesting.

Shevchenko or Gomez are equally good bets.

 

[Skrilla]

2 out of 6 correct so far... oh dear.
