    red - one question mate - could we ditch the first goalscorer part for each match? Reason being, I'm in a couple of other comps where you have to give your predictions for all the group matches before the first game (just match scores) and that's not too much hassle. But having to pick a first scorer each match seems quite onerous, especially as you can't really do it until the line-ups are announced. Requires quite a bit of "touch time" that one and I'm not sure I'll be able to put up a first goalscorer for every match, what with other commitments. Just a thought like, most other comps just go for the old "predict the score" plus group winners and overall winners. Might lighten your load as well if we ditch the first goalscorer <ok>

    Odddy <laugh> <ok> love a good old bet on first goalscorer. Remember landing a decent one on DECO took a massive deflection didn't think I was going to get paid out at one point haha.

    Well i can put it to the lads that have entered if they want it or not... Im easy to either way...

    I suppose if you just put say Benzema for every game that France play in the tournament, then i can just automatically put his name through as the tournament goes on then thats fine... I only put it in as most of the bookies always have 1st goal scorer specials and just thought the lads would want it...

    I will be asking for the predictions right up to kick off each day so if you can pop on you can always nominate one if you so desire...


    What do the other lads think...? Im more than happy to accommodate as it wont be too much extra work as ive got all the sheets set up now...<cheers>

    Oddy - After sleeping on the idea im going to drop the first goal scorer... I suppose that if you just said the main striker for each country to be put down regardless then it takes a bit away from the selection process. And like you said you would then have to wait for the team sheets before selecting one...

    So its just the actual score then that you will predict...<cheers>

    I was going to post the matches daily as opposed to posting all the group fixtures on one thread... But if you want to post your predictions for all the matches then thats fine. I can do that...<ok>

    Just a quick note to ask that you put down your predictions for the Euros here... I need the Group winners, Top Goal Scorer, winner and finalists...

    There will be a different thread for the daily group matches as the tournament goes on...<cheers>
