FMS Euro 2012 Predictions Special


salkster2102

Recommended Posts

It seems just like yesterday that we finished predicting the Premier League season. Before we know it we are back again for this Euro 2012 Special. Everyone is welcome to play along. Of course the only real prize is just bragging rights but thats better than any real prize right?

The Rules

The first stage of the competition will be predicting who will finish where in the groups and who will play who in the knockout stages. The second stage will be predicting the results and scores of the matches. So if you get any predictions wrong in the first stage you can make up for them by scoring heavily in the second stage. All pretty simple.

The Scoring

First Stage

If you correctly predict that a team will qualify for each stage you will earn yourself 1 point.

If you correctly predict a teams position in the group stage you will earn yourself 2 points.

If you also correctly predict a teams position in the knockout stage you will earn yourself 2 points.

If you also correctly predict the correct teams facing each other at the right match in the knockout stages will earn you 1 bonus point.

Second Stage

The usual rules of 1 point for a correct result and 3 for a correct result and score.

For Example:

Predicted Group A Final Standings

Greece

Czech Republic

Poland

Russia

Actual Group A final Standings

Russia

Greece (1 point for qualifying prediction)

Poland (2 points for correct Position)

Czech Republic

Predicted Quarter Final

Greece vs Netherlands

Czech Republic vs Germany

England vs Ireland

France vs Spain

Predicted Semi Final

Netherlands vs England

Spain vs Germany

Actual Quarter Final

Russia vs Germany (1 point for predicting Germany would qualify)

Greece vs Portugal (1 point for predicting Greece would qualify)

Ireland vs England (2 points each here for correctly predicting Ireland and England would be in Quarter Final 3 and the bonus point for the correct fixture)

France vs Italy (2 points for predicting France would qualify)

Actual Semi Final

Germany vs England (2 points for predicting England would be in Semi Final 1)

France vs Greece

Hopefully that is clear enough for the first stage. Looks a bit complicated I know but in reality it's fairly simple. Well it does to me anyway. Any questions feel free to ask.

Let's have a wild stab at this then, see how wrong I can get this...

Group A:

Russia

Poland

Czech Republic

Greece

Group B:

Germany

Netherlands

Portugal

Denmark

Group C:

Spain

Italy

Croatia

Republic of Ireland

Group D:

France

England

Ukraine

Sweden

Quarter Finals:

Russia vs Netherlands

Germany vs Poland

Spain vs England

France vs Italy

Semi Finals:

Netherlands vs Spain

Germany vs France

Final:

Spain vs France

Winner:

France

Bit of a deviation from the norm, but why not? Almost had Ukraine through ahead of England as well, but my inner patriot refused.

EDIT: Correction of the QF/SF draws mean a French win now looks less likely, but I'm gonna go ahead and say they beat both the favourites anyway...

Here we go:

Group A - fairly even group in my opinion, not seen much of the Czech's recently but I don't think they're doing great.

1. Russia

2. Poland

3. Czech Republic

4. Greece

Group B - tough group indeed. Portugal are down on form but obviously still have star power. Denmark are actually quite decent but two very strong teams in Germany and Netherlands should pull through. I think Germany look very strong at the moment, so going to be backing them.

1. Germany

2. Netherlands

3. Denmark

4. Portugal

Group C - yes, I am tipping Italy to get knocked out. They tend to go through cycles and I think they're in a bit of a down cycle at the moment. Ireland to pull the upset in this group. Croatia were hot 4-6 years ago but are off the boil now.

1. Spain

2. Republic of Ireland

3. Italy

4. Croatia

Group D - England to make it out, just. Very unlikely to see France implode like they did at the World Cup. Roy's defensive style does play to England's strengths so they should scrap through against relatively mediocre opposition.

1. France

2. England

3. Sweden

4. Ukraine

Quarter Finals - assuming the groups pan out as expected, there are clear favorites when we get to the knock-outs.

QF1: Russia v Netherlands --> Netherlands

QF2: Spain v England --> Spain

QF3: Germany v Poland --> Germany

QF4: France v Republic of Ireland --> France

Semi Finals - now it gets hard, some real big clashes here. Really, could go any way. More heart then head stuff here.

SF1: Netherlands v Spain --> Spain

SF2: Germany v France --> Germany

Final

Spain v Germany --> Germany

Tournament Winner

GERMANY

I think there will be a shock team in the tournament, and I think it might be Croatia. And if England get through the group, I'll be amazed!

Pretty straight forward, really. I can't see any shocks occurring. I hope I'm proved wrong though :D

I think Spain are on the wane, Germany are on ascendancy, Italy can never be discounted, you have to factor in home advantage for the Ukraine & Poland, England and France will flop and the Netherlands will come close. The rest are also rans.

Just edited my predictions because QF2 and QF3 are the wrong way round - meaning teams in the same group can't meet again until the final, rather than the semis.

grrr I copied your predictions so now mine are wrong ;) Or are they all wrong.. now I'm confused as well as senile. Bah.

Anyway I think I sorted it.

They're all wrong, yes, since they all came from salkster's (wrong) template :p. I'll edit mine now.

Do we need to provide scores?

The scores is the second stage of the predictions that will be running as the tournament goes on. I will be doing a separate table for each stage and then an overall table. Don't have to do the scores as well but where is the fun in that :)
