It's time for the final round of Euro 2008 predicta, and this one has a big brother-style twist!
1. The Match
Choose the live match! Predict what'll happen! Look at the odds on this! Erm, yes. predict the score after 90 minutes (so, not including extra time), with any priority between 1 and 8. Beware! If you choose priority 8 and get it wrong, then you lose 80 points! So, do you play it safe and consolidate your prediction, or go for broke?
2. Goals
Predict the number of goals. Including extra time.
Bang On = 40 pts
1 away = 20 pts
(No points for 2 away this time, otherwise hedging is too easy)
3. Cards
Predict the number of cards (red or yellow). Including extra time. Including subs getting booked (Baros...). Not including managers getting sent to the stands (Low...).
In the event of somebody getting sent off for two bookable offences, he will have contributed 2 cards in total, not 3.
Bang On: 30 pts
1 away: 15 pts
Tie-breaker: Time of first goal
Predict the time of the first goal, as accurately as you please. Then, if two people finish up tied on points, whoever is closest to the actual first goal time will get the place.
For your convenience:
1. The Result: Germany v Spain
2. Number of Goals:
3. Number of Cards:
TIE-BREAKER. Time of First Goal:
As this is the last round, you may PM me your predictions for secrecy.
Deadline is Sunday at 7.45pm. Happy punting!

Booo. If Russia had won it would be much closer.

I think Box just about has this wrapped up, unless Thor gets them all right, and goes for an 8 weighting as well?

Yeah, it all hinges on the predictions of Box and Thor...

This is where the system falls down because Box could quite easily just predict the same as me and almost wrap up victory. I was waiting for him to predict before I did mine. Is it possible, Frag, that I could pm you with mine instead? |

Frag says to pm predictions, next to last line, I was going to suggest it, although I'm sure the box would not have cheated anyway.

I may as well go and delete myself, oh wait no.. only you would be so overdramatic as to go and do that! We're PM-ing our predictions to Frag anyway. Oh, good luck and that. |

Besides- my predictions in the QFs were awful, I got MINUS 20!
I honestly didn't look at Thor's before I posted - I did notice the similarity afterwards. I was going to change them because I knew somebody would pick up on it.

I don't know what "Big Brother" style is. I don't watch it.
In each case is it + if you get it right and - if you get it wrong?
What do you mean by "Choose the live match"? There is only one game.
