If Greece win the whole thing, I'll record myself singing "Ole Ole Ole Ole Hellas Hellas" and post it on here .

Do they have regulations and stuff which allow pubs to be open at 5 in the morning to watch the football or something?

Apparently so, cos there's this certain football pub which is open alot of the time because some mates of mine always go there at 3, 4, 5 in the morning to watch AEK Athens games in both the Greek league and the Champions League/UEFA Cup or whatever. Plus every Greek game from Euro 2004 has been shown live there. It's not just Greek matches though, there are a few official Melbourne Supporters Clubs for like AEK Athens, Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Celtic etc who always go there to watch their team's games.

PS: The way things have been going, you'd better warm your voice up Gooner.

Just remember who it was who said once you make the last 8, anyone can win it. If Scotland were in this position (stop laughing!), I'd be thinking the same. If I never had 330 notes riding on Sweden, I'd back you lot.

What a load of crap!!!!!
How can Greece be at better odds than Sweden and Denmark? They may have beaten France and Portugal but they still have to be considered real outsiders for the cup.
If I was a betting man I would put some good money on Sweden because I think they will win it. Larsson and Ibrahimovic up front is a strikeforce to die for.

I think a lot of is has to do with how many stakes they're expecting on each team. Look at England - every championship that comes round, they're always one of the bookies favourites, even though for this tournament they might have been, say, only sixth favourites on paper. That's because the bookies are expecting lots of people to put money on England (as you'd expect, it's doubtless the same in most countries - the Spanish bet on Spain, the Greeks bet on Greece, the Latvians bet on Latvia etc etc) and they can't afford to give them long odds.

Chances are, having beaten France, bookmakers are expecting a surge of people to put all their money on Greece, hence they can't afford to make them 20-1 outsiders, whereas the number of people putting their hard earned cash on the Scandinavian pair might be a little thinner on the ground, hence longer odds for them, regardless of whether they look better on paper or not.

Plus Greece are actually in the last four now, so at the minute they have more chance of winning it then Sweden and Denmark.

I'm sure if they both get through then Greece will be back as having the longer odds.

Oh yeah, even though I'm backing Sweden right now, I have a suspicion Holland might sneak it now. Granted my first two choices are gone, but now either I'm right or another big gun drops out so I win either way. Plus of course they're the only former winners still left (except Denmark, but they don't count ).

I inferred that Germany and Spain could well go out back then, and that England would go through in that group.

This is what I said in that old thread:

Croats and France will be a bitch, seriosuly, I am displeased, we're outtie.

But look what I said later on:

Notice how I have NEVER once backed England, we're not half as good as people think we are, I never see England wining eveyone, hence why I'm not really an England fan, I'll support them and back them and all, but really, I don't expect anything more then the quarter finals, semi's at best.

My god, I'm losing faith in him. Even this one proved to be way off the mark...

"I think if England lose one game in that group then they are out. Results won't got there way if they lose one."

Now, didn't I say Holland would win it from the start? I think I probably did.

Yeah I saw that post about England, forgot to mention it.

After Hollands fourth game, a commentator has FINALLY mentioned that fact that Van Nistelrooy is a diver. I could have told them that before the tournament started.

I dunno if Andy Townsend really qualifies as a commentator. Probably why he said it, the main mic men seem determinded to remain as uncontroversial in their commentaries as possible.

Also while I think about it, Motson really needs to be taken out back and put down. He's been crap for years but this tournament he's turned into a gibbering wreck.

I think this match might go to penalties, in which case, I can see Ruud Van Nistelrooy missing his one.

I tell you what, the 90 minutes was fairly dull, this extra time has been really good. Sweden have hit the woodwork twice and Holland have had (in my eyes) a perfectly good goal disallowed. It's been as tight as hell.

Fuck sake.

Both sides were equal, but Sweden were just so unlucky time and time again. Not only that but they have been the better side in the tournament, and Holland have been really average.

I hope Collina refs the Holland/Portugal game, because its gonna be a serious handful.

Think we could get a repeat of that Holland vs Czech Republic game in the final? It's looking more and more like it, and if it was half as good as their first match, we'd be in for a great final.
