I thought it would be fun to run a little pool for the forum. So what you do, is you go to the following address: games.espn.go.com/euro/group?groupID=793Create an account, then it will ask you to join the group (worst to worst if it doesn't, just search for the group "FFF Picks". The password is "forumball" (without quotes obviously). All you do is pick, winner or a draw. You get 1 point for a correct prediction in the group stage (max of 24 points), 3 points in the quarter finals (max of 12 points), semi finals are worth 5 points for a correct pick (up to an obvious 10 points total) and finally 7 for the correct prediction in the winner. I hope there's a lot of interest as it should be fun! |

Done. (eventually, the first 20 or so names I tried to use were taken  ) I've made this an announcement as I doubt many are reading the International board at the moment (I only found it as Andy told me) I'll also sort out an email to everyone and a myspace bulletin, try and get as many as we can. |

Sweet, thanks Jimmy! I stumbled upon this hunting through the Euro 2008 section on the website and thought we could have some fun with it. Any questions about the game or if you're having problems, post here or PM me and we should be able to sort it out. |

Leave that area blank, works fine then - zip code is the equivalent of a postcode used in America etc.

yay!, i'm in! what do we do next? I think you can go ahead and start predicting the results of the group stage matches now, or you can wait. Looks pretty good. |

REMINDER!
Make sure you are done making your group stage picks before each game! I would recommend doing them all BEFORE Saturday and just changing picks as needed.
Good luck everyone!

LAST CALL!
Make sure your picks are done before kickoff!
Note: Each pick has to be chosen before the scheduled match time (in case you thought I meant tournament kickoff), so if a match kicks off at 12:00 PM EST on Monday the 8th, the pick has to be made before 12:00 PM EST.
Good luck! This should be an exciting tournament!
