just spoke to a colleague about the odds of england winning tonight's - technically tomorrow morning WIST - as she's one of 'em 99.9% of wee islanders who'd wager on just about anything:
it ends in a draw by full time, england to win on penalty shoot-outs.
anyways, as for my prediction, england 2 portugal 2*. england to come back in the second half from 2 goals down. and both goals to be scored by shrek. sorry, i meant Rooney Mickey Owen. give that laddie a chance, he'll rise to the occasion.
c'mon Rooney Owen.
*disclaimer: no, it wasn't based on what said colleague told me.
as enscribed by the letter b @ June 24, 2004 08:41 AMwhy only Beckham when that continental prick was also responsible for taking us into extra time?
as blahed by the letter b @ June 27, 2004 12:03 PMHow’s about we just lynch Beckham?
His career and fame are definitely over now anyway.
as blahed by Miles @ June 25, 2004 03:37 PMengland have a perennial problem with penalty shoot outs i tell ya. and methinks it's a sign that i should become a footy pundit instead :)
eh how about you and i start a partnership on this psychic business thingy? what say you?
as blahed by the evil b @ June 25, 2004 06:48 AMYour prediction 2-2 was spot on and Owen did score! Alas, the penalty thing did them in AGAIN! ARGH!!!
as blahed by Le Idler @ June 25, 2004 06:43 AMoh yes of course, definitely. but the mere mention of the word european sends me scurrying :P
and of all things, Beckham lost the plot. grrrr... shall save me rants later.
as blahed by the evil letter b @ June 25, 2004 02:22 AMI be a European citizen, and as such I may choose which ever nation I whish, so meeeergh :P
Besides we're out now.
as blahed by Miles @ June 24, 2004 11:44 PMIdler - no, save le power's for the later stages. eh, you don't have a crystal ball or summat that can help you out :D 3-2? hmm..
Miles - i'm about to blurt the 't' word but nah..
as blahed by the letter b @ June 24, 2004 03:37 PMNot sure about the score, but we need to win so the French can beat us once and for all. Vive la France!
as blahed by Miles @ June 24, 2004 01:23 PMI've used up all my psychic powers for the Group stage, so I'll refrain from a prediction. Ok la, I think Engerland will nick it. Maybe 3-2?
