Ah well, considering the other half of the WF household comes from Bavaria I think I can live with that draw. 🙂 Plus I [i]may [/i]actually have a chance of progressing beyond the groups. Just hope it doesn't end up as a Wales/Germany Final 🙂

Dusty here @deadly, what a surprise and a great idea. 🙂

Opening ceremony just getting started ...
And a big thank you to DD and his lad for doing the draw. Posting each picture must have been a bit of a chore so well done. And good luck to those who drew France and Romania, as well as everyone else. Hope it turns out to be a good tournament.
CMON!!!!! Junior dd you absolute legend. Just shown the mrs she's v v impressed with the "cuteness" of the whole procedure! Coz that obviously matters when I'm spending her fivers!!!
Yes well done to DD jnr!
Opening ceremony suddenly improved!

Go Iceland!
Brilliantly executed draw by father & son; fine work.
I am particularly impressed by the tactics accusations 😀
[img] [/img]
Ha, I missed that... 😆

And I have Italy at work.
But for now Allez les Bleus!
It's like a bad dream....I keep expecting to wake up 🙁
Only Robbie Keane can save me now! 😀

DD, Thought we had a deal that bongohoohaa was to get Albania?
Whats payment info, for what its worth now 😥
Can I get 1st claim on any payment defaulters team?
Paid
Payment via PayPal [b]GIFT[/b] to darcyciaran [at] mac [dot] com please.
please include your STW username as a note with the payment please. Thanks again all. 🙂
My payment, via dog plops, will be incoming shortly.
Just to check, are we using this thread, or the other footie one for Euro 2016 discussion?
Don't mind to be honest...generally go with the flow of which thread has more traction.
Anyway...the definitive list:

Well...there goes my £20 bet for Giroud to score in both halves.
I should stop gambling, as it appears I am not very good at it.
Think Romania can be pretty pleased with themselves so far. Still think Les [s]Cheats[/s] Bleus will win it over the 90 though.
Actually this thread could be exclusively for those who [s]invested[/s] gambled. Think of it as the Euros thread with a "p". 🙂
Think the ref is being paid by the French though. Rom should have had a few free kicks in good locations TBF
Apparently 3x draws is enough to progress in the new system. Looks like France are playing it safe and going to 0-0 their way to victory.
Edit: Oh NOW he scores 🙁
Shocking from the keeper though.
Allez Les Cheats!!
Fun fact. If Giroud had scored in the first half. I would have just won £200.
Penalty 😯
If Giroud had scored in the first half. I would have just won £200.
My aunt used to say IF I had balls I'd be your uncle
Darcy, and ScaredyPants, will be pleased 😉
Sorry 'bout that scaredy. 😐
Booooooooooooooo !
just got in & seen the result. [s]did anyone[/s] who cheated ?
Yay. Wales. I'm going to Wales on Monday, I'll give them an inspirational speech.
£5 sent.
£10 to team with worst discipline
Yus! easy money. Go Albania
Well done Junior Bravisimo (AA?)
I feel that all the favourites to be too obvious, and we're due someone 'doing a Greece'*,and the Czech Republicate that team! I'm sure of it!
* that's winning the Euro's, rather than everyone stopping paying tax, going bankrupt, then periodically causing financial chaos over an entire continent 😉
🙂
Greece's victory at the Euros just reinforces how dire England have been. Just very poor that I attended our past remotely decent performance, which was losing in the semis in '96 😐
@dd £5 sent btw
Jammers - my cousin, who is an uber-statto, and would bet on 2 flies crawling up a window - had analysed all the pre-tournament form that year, and confidently predicted (before a ball had been kicked) that the final would be a repeat of the opening game (Greece v Portugal) and Greece would win it 😯
He had what he referred to as 'a serious punt' on that outcome. Like an idiot, I, and everyone else, went 'yeah, right....'
Hmmmmmmm - I should maybe give him a quick text and see who he fancies! 😉
AA
Ha Ha. Just seen this. 😆
So...after today,
dknwhy 🙂 bruneep 🙁 (but hoping for a few pints for worst discipline)
beej 🙂 cchris2lou 🙁
wrightyson 😐 verging on the 🙁 fathomer 😐 verging on the (very quiet) 🙂
Trash talk for tomorrow...
Stoner v timidwheeler
welshfarmer's v chunkymonkey
jamba v Mr C
Well this is turning into a belter. End to end stuff. Could go either way I reckon. Watching this on German TV. They get even more animated than the British commentators 🙂
Watching this on German TV
blimey welshfarmer, I wasn't aware we had to emigrate to our allocated country
does [i]anyone[/i] know where Romania is ? 😉
There are probably 27 of them living in one house down the road from you scaredy. Ask them. 🙂
I wasn't aware we had to emigrate to our allocated country
Yup. I am catching the ferry tomorrow.
I really should have read the small print...
Ha, you all thought the fiver was your only payment. Have you noticed how quiet Stoner's been since he moved to Poland? He's struggling for Internet access but has busied himself setting himself up a TE*FL school.
*Excel, not English.
in [i]Hampshire[/i] ? 😯There are probably 27 of them living in one house down the road from you scaredy. Ask them.
Wrightyson is quiet....
You haven't had to re-mortgage for the sweep wrighty. 😀
Poor Jamba is flat-hunting in Istanbul at the moment telling them all what a bad idea it would be to join the EU.
Has anyone heard from Bruneep? I hear Albania is lovely this time of year.
Tell you what dd I reckon my bluey is done for as I reckon the Welsh will turn us over on Thursday afternoon. Site is shutting early hopefully though so every cloud. Will bounce my pp (waste of money) contibution over tomorrow.
He was last seen being driven from the airport in the [s]boot[/s] back of a Merc S-Class to a large walled house in the outskirts of Tirana. Hope he's ok. 😯
I've told the Turks I am coming, apparently they've laid on a special welcome at Club Med Kemer :). Sadly not going this year, friends leaving next weekend
I'm fine not long arrived. Thought I'd impress the locals with my medals but it seems that 3 medals don't cut it here, the donkey taxi has more medals than me.
Looking forward to multiple bookings and a red card or two in next game.
The beach is lovely tho.

*saunters past thread to gloat*
The boys dun good.
I put it down to my exceptional tactical ability to score runs. Or hoops. Or whatever it is we're playing....
