Forgetting the sweepstake itself....I see I've got only two of the original 5 teams that I'd have liked to get, before Leon did the draw. (France and Belgium)

Seeing as they meet in a semi - final, I can only end up with one of 'my' five original 'picks' in the final.

If someone gave me a tenner and said I'd got to bet on ONE team now.....I think I'd pick France, though I reckon all the teams that are left are in with at least a shout, with the possible exception of Russia........But who knows ?

Got that right then.

(But only just.)

Just noticed that belgium will probably win the cup. Fred has belgium in the sweepstake, and if you look how he did in the last competitions 

Really curious what they will do against france!

50/50....ish ?

Could go either way, I reckon. (Penalty shoot out ?)

...Fred has belgium in the sweepstake, and if you look how he did in the last competitions 

If Fred wins this one as well, I think we'll be banning him from all future competitions...

Even fred couldn't save Belgium. From the moment France scored it was over.

Buuuut, only the final to win now!

Oi!

I'd always thought France would get through. But didn't really expect it to be a header from a defender.

Can't decide if I'm nervous or excited for tomorrow

[mollinary]

And then there were three. A bit like an Agatha Christie novel, don't you think?

No matter what, i still think France has the best chance to win the cup. (and that's not because i win credit)
