Post by Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry »

Anyone watching Euro 2012 - the European football championships? England do not have the best of teams this time.

Just watched the Greece vs Russia match. Greece won 1-0. It was funny to watch the BBC commentators, who had written off the Greeks before the match even started, furiously backpedalling.

If they can beat Germany, it'll be even more surprising!

As Jimmy Greaves says about football, "it's a funny old game" so Greece could win 1-0 or on penalties! Should be a bitter game.

Yeah, I had to switch off the Greece match before the end, it was just too depressing.

It was fun when Greece equalised against Germany but Germany then took control.

Other results:

Spain 2- 0 France

Italy 0 - 0 England ( Italy win on penalties)

England were awful but I did have a bet on Italy to win on penalties and won £170!

Semi finals

Portugal v Spain

Germany v Italy

I'm glad Germany lost, anyway. Not sure who to support in the final, I have both Spanish and Italian friends.
