Euro 2008 Tipping Comp
Ok, by popular (well, two people
 ) demand I'm going to shamelessly rehash the Union World Cup 2007 format for the round ball code this summer.Scoring Outcome: 3 points (e.g. Team A to win, Team B to win or draw) Score: Spot-on - 3 points (e.g. Team A 3 Team B 1); Correct margin - 1 point (e.g. you tip Team A to win 2-1 & they win 1-0 or you tip a score draw & it's 0-0) First goalscorer: Correct goalscorer named - 3points; Predicted first goalscorer scores goal other than first - 1 point. Devastatingly straightforward, I'm sure you'll agree. So your tips should look something like: Germania 2 Italialand 1 First goalscorer: Hugh Jarse All welcome, more the merrier, tell your friends, etc... Fixtures for week one: Saturday, 7 June Switzerland v Czech Republic Portugal v Turkey Sunday, 8 June Austria v Croatia Germany v Poland Monday, 9 June Romania v France Netherlands v Italy Tuesday, 10 June Spain v Russia Greece v Sweden Wednesday, 11 June Czech Republic v Portugal Switzerland v Turkey Thursday, 12 June Croatia v Germany Austria v Poland Friday, 13 June Italy v Romania Netherlands v France All tips made before KO accepted &, if you change your tip, please could you quote your original post in a new one rather than edit as it's easy to miss them.

Ah Hugh Jarse. There is a sea of endless possibilities when it comes to stupid names, you had to pick that one
 Sounds good anyway. At what point will the format change? I seem to remember it did at the semi-final stage of the RWC.

It is better than nothing when there is no other football on. I don't particularly care about who wins, however, and I wouldn't care much if England were in it either. I just look out for United players tbh.

Yeah, I'll have a pop, as I said before.
It'll fill the time before watching the glory of League 2

Here goes..
Just decided to do the first half of the first week fixtures to see how all the teams perform. Will obviously change some first goal scorers if I hear some of these players aren't likely to play. Switzerland 0 Czech Republic 1 First goal scorer: Jan Koller Portugal 2 Turkey 0 First goal scorer: Christiano Ronaldo Austria 0 Croatia 1 First goal scorer: Ivan Klasnic Germany 2 Poland 0 First goal scorer: Lukas Podolski Romania 0 France 3 First goal scorer: Frank RIbery Netherlands 1 Italy 1 First goal scorer: Arjen Robben Spain 2 Russia 1 First goal scorer: David Villa Greece 1 Sweden 1 First goal scorer: Zlaten Ibrahimovic Last edited by NUFAN; 02-06-2008 at 01:51 AM. |
