Greetings amigos,
The time for rest has passed. The time for predictions on an international platform has come! Yes, Euro 2008 begins this Saturday and with it comes Predictio Euro 2008. Winning a Euro Championship is a wonderful thing - just ask Ruud.
The lack of England means that the tournament will be slightly less predictable than usual (had we made it I'm sure we could all predict a quarter-final exit on pens for the three-lioned troops) and with many of the 16 entrants feeling that they have a genuine chance of lifting the trophy, it promises to be an interesting few weeks ahead.
As mentioned at the end of the domestic season, unless anyone has any objections (and if so, please voice them now) we will pilot a new spot-on scoring system during the Euro 2008 tournament, which, if a success, will be put into place for the 2008-09 league season. Essentially the change is that we will introduce a 5 point spot-on; 5 points will be awarded for a spot-on related to a game with either 0 or 4 or more goals. There is arguably more skill in spotting a 3-1 as opposed to a 2-0, and also it will give the chasing pack a better chance of catching those above them by submitting more risky predictions. Similarly, for the league leader, they will be faced with the dilemma of whether or not to play it safe and stick to 2-0's to go for 3 points, or try to increase their advantage by plumping for a 5 point 3-1. Anyways, we'll see how it goes.
In the meantime, if you could submit your predictions by copying and pasting from the fixture list below, that would be dandy. It's up to you when you put your predictions in (i.e. all in one go or day by day / round by round) but make sure you get them in on time!
Take it easy
Danny
