I am most definitely in. Picks sent.

I will participate, what will I get for winning? Also, what happened to England?

Other than Shin being born? A loss to Croatia knocked them out of qualifying.

I heard there was some football tournament or something on this year. I'm not sure there's any decent teams though. England decided not to bother after thoroughly embarrasing the rest of Europe in the Champions' League this season.

It's okay, Shin. We all know England just didn't care because they knew France was going to be balls anyway. And what's the fun for Engerland if they can't beat them up some baguette-toting surrender monkeys when it actually means something?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm backing the Portugese pony this time out. There's a lot of good teams out there, but also a lot of possible dark horses. No matter how you slice it, it's going to be a great tourney.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I mean, he's still a cunt but I reckon he'll have a good tournament.

Utter berke. Can't stand the kid.

But he's a great player, no doubt.

Also including me. Figo is a legend, and CR will probably surpass him in stats, but he'll never be the caliber of Captain as Luis is. Same with Beckham. The guy had unbridled talent, but he was a complete fucking asshead. Yes, you're tremendous, but if you're a cunt, I just can't adore you as a player. Zidane, Figo, Gerrard... these are players I can get behind.

It's not just about the plays, it's about how you play.

What we've learned from the first half of Switzerland vs Czech Republic: If you breathe hard enough on someone from Switzerland, their knee breaks.

Bollocks. Missed the score by a right wide margin. Ah well, at least I picked the winner on that one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No. Hard Pass. · 01:18 AM

Missed the score on the second game, but nailed it on the first. Haven't missed a winner yet and I've got two winners with score. Not a bad start.

Things I learned on day two: "Poland continues to be winless against Germans" is the funniest banner headline I've ever read, deliberate or not. And the Germans have power in their boots. Not one soft touch the whole game. Every shot was just a cannon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Certainly one of the best missed shots ever, that's for sure.

Can't believe I was right about that first match. I was betting on France having no heart, and it looks like I was right. 3 points from doubt. Nice.

Also, currently inline for a good call on the second. If the Netherlands stays quiet and Italia manages one tally, I'll be a very happy man.

AFTER GAME EDITAN:

Well, so far I'm consistent, if nothing else.

Match Day 1: 4 points.

Match Day 2: 4 points.

Match Day 3: 4 points.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Only two points for you today, but you're still pretty good!

Oh, damnit. I thought I'd called nil-nil, but apparently 1-1 upon checking.

BLAST.

Yeah, I have to say the Dutch looked much better than I expected them to. Although they were certainly given a hand up by Italy playing like the load of greasy popped collars they are.

I still feel justified in my 0-0 bet on Greece - Sweden. That team was not the Greeks we've seen in qualifying. Bah!

I hope if it is, the teams get it together, so far set pieces plays have been utter crap.

I have an important thing to comment that no one here seems to have noticed, spain's seemed really tired around the time Russia score, they showed a close-up of Puyol, he really seemed tired along with his team, against a team that didn't pose that much of a challenge, that causes worry.

Only if you like Spain.

Nicely done, Portugal. Ronaldo looked fantastic in this match, and what the fuck, Simao? Twice you've called off Ronaldo on dead ball situations, and twice you've kicked it right at the wall like a complete git.

No more free kicks for you.

Also, the best thing about the Swiss playing Turkey is that the networks keep showing clips of that gay-as-Shin slap fight they had in the tunnel. They should have handed down suspensions due to not knowing how to fight for shit. Like watching two dancing gangs fight while they sing songs from My Fair Lady.

This hasn't been -fantastic-, Mush. I love weather-ball.

The best bit so far was the ball going across the line and just stopping dead. Right foot tap. Goal.

Edit:

Nice goal from Turkey. Now just... no more goals. 1-1 draw. We all go home happy. Most importantly, -I- go home happy.

Edit 2:

Stoppage time? Oh god damn you, Turkey. GODDAMN YOU. Couldn't just settle for a tie, could you?

How ya doing, buddy?

*SIGH* Croatia? Really? Man, NONE of us saw that one coming. And if this Poland-Austria game ends 1-0, I'm going to feel guilty taking those points. It should be 4-1 for Austria if they had, you know, someone who could finish.

Edit:

What. WHAT. TWO STRAIGHT DAYS WHERE I GET ROBBED OF 3 POINTS IN THE 92nd MINUTE? WHAT THE HELL? Man, I've done something to piss off God.
