Damn, for the first time I was 30 seconds away from 4 pts. (I predicted 1:1 in Spain-Sweden)

Me thinks I won't guess anything correct this year.

So, I change my prediction for the Russia-Greece to 0:10 (I am absolutely serious, Locutus, though I feel we will win 3:1 tonight). But please, consider my prediction for the next game as 0:10 (Greece wins).


(I have consumed some beers already)

I'm so happy that I changed my initial, absolutely correct 1:0 prediction for Russia to the absolute nonsence 0:10 for Greece!
We won 1:0, so I'll keep this tactics untill the end of the tournament.
My prediction for the Russia-Sweden game is again 0:10 win for Sweden (though I believe we will win 2:1).

Sorry to curse you again Locutus, but before I saw your post I had decided on

So far every time our predictions match we've gotten decent points out of it, I think -- we should start coordinating this

Ironically, if you hadn't made that change you'd have gotten your first exact score (So making predictions while drunk is clearly not advisable -- but yes, I am gonna have to count it )


Lots of points earned today, but surprisingly many people near the top of the list didn't get (m)any...

Edit: removed the listing, see post below

I know But I'm so happy I had not. So, my prediction for any further game where Russia participates is 0:10. This probably sounds crazy, but our local Poly "guess who?" tournament means nothing to me in comparison to performance of our team on Euro-2008. So, Sweden-Russia will be 10:0.

Thanks.
But I disagree - drunk predictions are fine (you just have to reverse them, j/k )


Ole-ole-ole-ole - Rossiya -vpered!!!
