Being played on Sunday June 13th
Switzerland v Croatia (prediction help)
France v England (prediction help)
Please make your predictions for these 2 games in this thread. See the link on my sig for the league table website.
If you haven't guessed games 1 & 2 yet then there's still plenty of time.
More draws predicted by me as the first matches in group B get off to nervous starts.
Switzerland 1 Croatia 1
France 1 England 1
Switzerland 0 Croatia 1
England 0 France 2
Switzerland 0 Croatia 2
France 1 England 1
Cheers :thumbs:
My heart says England, my head says France but I still can't predict a France win because I almost feel trecherous doing so. I wish I was braver, I feel a few points going to cortubra on this one.Quote:

My prediction for France v England is that I will be having a nice curry whilst watching the match with a bunch of English guys. That probably doesn't count though.
I hope France win though I may not make it out of the curry house alive if they do.
Good luck to everyone anyway, it's only a game after all.

I prefer rugby myself, pity that the Scottish are crap at that too. Still, always an excuse to get drunk. Like we need one.Quote:

Now, to appease Gazak see below.
I already predicted about the curry but I also predict that I will be having a few beers too.
I predict that I may be feeling hungover on Monday morning.
I predict that I am going to crave a chip shop supper when I go back to Scotland in two weeks, probably make that the first thing I do after picking up the hire car and then feel sick as a dog from all the grease for hours afterwards.
Umm, that's about it for now I think. I'll get back to you if I can think of anything else.

Unfortunately on this occasion, one has to inform your good self that you are incorrect.Quote:

I still don't get it. :confused:Quote:

Footballs full "title" as a sport is Association Football
Soccer is an amalgamation/bastardization of the Association bit.
Excellent pad by the way deity :thumbs:

I predict that Michael Owen will cry into his shirt when he doesn't get to kick the ball, after all why would the French pass to him.... :thumbs2:Quote:

Yes... try Reporting for Duty on the WOTPP thread under Tech Lounge (can't be bothered to work out a link!) :thumbs2:Quote:

Don't worry we at wotpp sometimes have to rely on that well known windrivers condition - 'failure to read earlier posts properly syndrome' to cover our tracks, just post pad lots & any slip ups get lost in the mayhem ;)Quote:

Yeah. Gazzak? What's with this offside rule? Enlighten me.
Offside is when a player in the oppositions half has no other player in front of him other than the goalkeeper when the ball is passed to him. However, a player is NOT offside if he is not interfering with play in any way (ie is running back to his own half to be in an on side position).
Thats how I've always understood it anyway. :thumbs:
And, you're a Scot, so does that mean you must root against England no matter who they play?https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

I will be very happy about the draw between England and France, as both play tentative and "scared" of screwing up in such an important and great matchup it should have been for the title. 1-1
Croatia 3 Switzerland 0 (No contest)
PS
Offsides: let us hope the refs do get it right. Geesh, replays make them look really bad at times, except unlike American Football, there is no overturning of the ruling.
The offside rule is where the linesman raises his flag for no reason other than to get himself on the telly!
-Ed, where's your prediction for matches 3 & 4 or have I missed it again?
