I just realised that there were more players available in the Fantasy League than I first saw! LOL Oh, well, that will teach me to do these things in a rush...

So, who picked what Joker game in the Predictor? So many of them are hard to call, but I figure Latvia has to be a 0 point bye-bye...

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I think it's safe to assume 95% of the people picked the Czechs to win over Latvia as the joker game.

 

[SnoopDog]

I put my Joker on Portugal winning the opener.

[PaulUK]

Do we know 5% of our group are Latvian, then?

 

[Black Tulip]

I put my Joker on Portugal winning the opener.

Snoopy

LOL Same here.

There's nothing wrong with the predictor game.
(That keeps reminding me of the days I wanted to get pregnant.)

The only thing that happened is the text got skewered. Nothing else as far as I can tell.

 

[PaulUK]

Brave call, Snoopy. Yopu oughta get treble points for that. Most opening games in tournaments are edgy and nervous, and don't go to form.

Not that this could happen this time (he says, grinning at Laur).

The Greeks won't even get to smell the ball.

Just saying Hola! This is a fun thead to read though I hardly know what you're all talking about and I can't make out any of your team charts. Should I be glad Mexico can't play? Go England! Yeah, right. P.

[CrazyyAngel]

Well ... here we go.

GO GERMANY! (this is actually one of the few moments I allow myself some nationalism ).

Btw ... the coach of the greeks is a German and a famous german coach at that.

CA

 

[Liar]

And greece scored.

0-1

I'll be damned.

 

[CrazyyAngel]

And greece scored.

0-1

I'll be damned.

CA

 

[CrazyyAngel]

Should we put it down to first game nerves?

Lou

P.S. Hi Paul! Good to see so many English folks around here.

P.P.S. Hola, P.!

 

[Guest]

Ok guys, this means WAR !!!!

But you're right, a little fight adds to the tension and joy

So let's talk about penalties shall we???
Or maybe about English fans that are told to smoke pot in order not to get violent. Or about England's decision to try and make the world record in red cards and unfair fouls?
Or we could talk about the last english succes in a major tournament? When was that again?
Oh I could go on forever.

Go GERMANY !!!!!!
We'll send the Dutch home after match day one.

Snoopy

I am trying so hard right now not to mention the war.

Oh, BASIL!!!!

Half time. Sucks. Not to worry, though. Plenty of time and Portugal is starting to play better, after those terrible first 15 minutes.

 

[PaulUK]

HT: Ummm... Laur...

 

[CrazyyAngel]

Half time. Sucks. Not to worry, though. Plenty of time and Portugal is starting to play better, after those terrible first 15 minutes.

Actually it was more the first 45 minutes. They couldnt get anything going. If they play like this in the second half, they are in for a loss. The greeks are the better team ...

CA

 

[Liar]

Hmm. Portugal is waffling around as if it was just another practice round. They're much better than what I've seen so far...

2:nd half starts now. Back to the tv.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Deco is in. Now we'll see some football.

 

[neonlyte]

Oh dear.

It's ever so quiet outside.

Portugal 0 - Greece 2

 

[Guest]

They're panicking a bit now. What is it with Portugal leaving such a huge gap down the right side? There's been three crosses in now, and each time, nobody's been there to receive it.
