Euro 2012 Bracket Predictor

[Bortukal]

I created a SyracuseFan group at ESPN's Euro 2012 Bracket Predictor. Takes less than 5 minutes to make your picks. Come one, come all.

Since the password is Boeheim, I think this should be moved to the BB board. At least it's more on topic than pool cleaning.

I'm in.

If you click on your entry name you can change the name of your entry. This way we can tell who's who, if it's not already obvious.

And they're off!

Last call to join or to change your picks. Group closes when play begins Friday with Ukraine v. France at 11:30 a.m. (ESPN2). (Edit: Apparently that game is actually on 6/15. I read the listings wrong. Oops.)

Prediction: Russian players rally around the tragic death of Mr. Trolololo and win the tournament in his honor.

Well I don't know about you folks, but I sure didn't have the Greeks coming out of Group A.

 

[Noexcuse]

My Bracket's Busted!

Am I really the only one who had Germany winning the group?

I picked Netherlands and Portugal to go through. :bang::bat:

I picked Netherlands to win it all.

 

[Bortukal]

I picked Netherlands to win it all.

Yup. Me too. Figured they'd be playing with something to prove.

I picked Germany to win the Group and Netherlands runner up.

Well, unless I'm mistaken (again), looks like this thing is coming down to Noexcuse and yours truly. I need Spain to win it all, and Noexcuse needs Italy or Germany.

Well . . . Italian Calcio is in my blood . . . . but saying that I picked Germany over Italia and Germany over Spain. The German team has been building for 2014, just like the Spanish team was building for 2010. Spain seems to have peaked and Germany is peaking. Maybe they meet somewhere in the middle, in which case Sunday's game should be one of the greatest Euro finals of all time.

ps, I noticed I didn't pick the tie-breaker, so you win on a tie by default.

I misread the tie-break question. I thought it was asking for how many goals the winning team would score in the final, not the entire tourney. So I said 2.

Well, at least the tie breaker didn't come into play . . . . Congrats!

Nicely done, PoppyHart.
