If Greece wins, Russia will become the best team in Europe as the only one who beat champions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Games against Spain and Portugal were pure flukes of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

*sigh*

Will now have to listen to honking horns for the rest of the day - being located in a fairly Greek neighbourhood. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT: Euro04
 

One person in UK won ~ $600 000 by betting on Greece before tournament started. Odds were 120:1 then

Re: OT: Euro04
 

So he 'only' had to put in $5000, and now he is rich enough to life very easy for the rest of his days (But he must not do anything stupid with the money, such as putting all his money on Greece as worldchampion in 2006 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

BTW. The person is probably Greece or female (or both) because NO MAN could predict this outcome !!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: Euro04
 

5k to a lot of professional gambers is not a great deal. Probably had money on some of the Favorites with a chance bet on one of the outsiders. Some of these guys are pretty astute when it comes to judging talent, or at least ability to win, and probably saw something in the Greek team that they liked. Or it could have been pure chance, but 5k is a lot for a non-gambler, so it was more likely somone who had an idea of what they were doing. Of course, if you had asked me before the tournie started I would have said they were crazy.

Re: OT: Euro04
 

Looking back on Euro04 and Worldcup02, the reccuring theme is that overpaid "stars" are worthless. They already got more than enough and can not seriously fight for NATIONAL PRIDE or what ever it is called.

My suggestion for WC06: fire Erricson and Beck&Co. and make a desent squad of nationwide players with workclass income. That should quarantee Enganad triumph !

BTW. I am serious. I have no trust in "superstars" whatsever.
