Euro 2012 - Help!!

Blonde Viki, 13 June, 2012 at 21:33 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 24

This may not end well.

OH and I now have a Euro 2012 wager - we have to pick a team each and whoever's team gets furthest, wins a prize.

He has picked Germany and has given me 24 hours to pick my team. He suggested I check out a few betting sites to see the odds etc but I prefer the 'asking on OT' method.

So, football-savvy hitchers, who should I pick?

The prize, in case you are interested, is that the loser has to buy the winner something off their Amazon wish list Smiley smile

    Tell him it's not fair that he got to pick first (mainly because Germany will probably win...). Out of the rest? Spain. Spain are number 1 in the world, Germany number 2. Not the Netherlands, there's no way they're getting past the groups this year!

    According to my OH France or Germany are the teams to watch. Good luck.

    Out of curiosity, does the winner get to pick the item bought of the wish list or does the loser pick it as a surprise?

    Good question. I think we need to hammer out the details.

    All we agreed was it had to be an item added before today so that we didn't go on adding really expensive things.

    (Realises I can still go on and remove all the cheap things.....)

    Massively unfair that he picked the favourite first! I'd choose Spain (as my tournament prediction sheet has a Germany/Spain final as I work through the matches).

    That's really not fair that he picked Germany seeing their the favourite to win (and my H got them in the sweepstakes at his work, so i'm going to be cheering for them.)

    I think you should do it fairly and write all the teams down on paper and pick it that way.

    I did say this to him but he wants it to be a game of "skill not chance" [shrug] I don't know what's so skilful about beating me, who knows nowt and especially after he got to pick first!!

    Looking good here, BV. Do Spain have to win or just get further than Germany?

    I was thinking about you last night when Germany went out. H is gutted because they were his team. Goes to show that the favourites aren't alway the ones to watch!

    Well done on winning!

    What are you getting??

    We agreed that he could pick...so I'm not sure what I'll get.

    I have a few things on there for honeymoon, new headphones and a lovely sunglasses case...a few games for my DS and some books. I am hoping he picks the headphones (because I want them, but don't want to buy them myself, if that makes sense!!) and the little headphones case for them. Let's see how good his intuition is! ?
