don’t bet on it

22 June, 2008 – 11:45 pm

so in the euro2008 knockout match results so far, 3 from 3 of my picks have been incorrect, and if spain don’t beat italy, all 4 will be wrong.

so now one semi is germany vs turkey and the other is russia vs spain or italy (decided by tonights result)… so, because my pick is germany, you should go and put your money on turkey… and similarly, i pick spain for tonight, you should bet on italy, then, assuming italy win you money (count on it), i pick russia and germany for the final because i dislike them the least, and guess what; it’s a turkey vs italy final, (with italy winning of course, because i dislike them the most).

such is the power of my predictions.

oh and, yes i’ve been watching the daily highlights show on SBS, it has been brilliant. for sheehans benefit, croatia were desperately unlucky and can maybe even feel a little hard done by; what with scoring at the 119 minute mark, then wanting to make a sub to wind down the match… but the ref wouldn’t let the sub go ahead claiming there wasn’t enough time left, and then proceeded to add 3 minutes of injury time on, allowing turkey to score an equaliser… but yes, if after that, the croatian penalty takers had put their shots on target then this might be a different story… oh well, that’s probably what they get for having my support.

something else to note is the complete lack of diving by a ruud v.nilsterooy (sp?), what happened? he has seemed to have develop some sort of work ethic in his time at madrid… weird.

  2. Wow! Should I feel like a rockstar that I got a mention??!

    By the way did anyone catch the China v Aus game? Loved Kewell’s comment about the “fluke” goal. Sour grapes comes to mind…

    Luke, don’t beat yourself up, 1 out of 4 isn’t bad, afterall u had a 50/50 chance :D

  3. hahaha, first of all, yes, yes you should. :D

    also, yep, harry could’ve converted a chance or two on the pitch instead of talking about their goal huh…

    lastly, 50-50! nooo… like me, the TAB don’t give out 50-50 odds, they look at form, injuries, home grounds, etc… i should have a MUCH better tipping record than i do! …but no, results are fixed so that i won’t give up my day job. ;)
