The Czechs sank their Swiss hosts, Holland eclipsed a Cannavaro-less Italy and Spain routed the Russians. So, if you fancy yourself as the football-ing equivalent of Mystic Meg, do we have a game for you!<BR/><BR/>Forget all those other, more complicated fantasy games. In Fantasy League Predictor, you predict the individual results of a set of Euro 2008 matches - for each correct outcome, you bag a point (and a full three points if you get the score right).<BR/><BR/>There's all the usual stuff that makes Fantasy League the European champion of fantasy games; Friends & Enemies Leagues, where you can dazzle your nearest and dearest with your uncanny foresight; and prizes galore, including games, replica kit, match balls and football gear, if you top the standings in a Game Phase.<BR/><BR/>Plus, the quick-and-easy entry system means you'll be up-and-running quicker than you can say Zlatan Ibrahimovic. <BR/><BR/>The first Game Phase is now complete, but the second Game Phase starts today at 17:00 BST with Portugal vs. Czech Republic, so make your predictions now at:<BR/><BR/>http://europredictor.fantasyleague.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227923538311048670.post-68985874103213268022008-05-27T13:02:00.000+01:002008-05-27T13:02:00.000+01:00Its got to be Sweden according to the guide at www...Its got to be Sweden according to the guide at <A HREF="http://www.whoshouldicheerfor.com" REL="nofollow">www.whoshouldicheerfor.com</A>Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631514320467004984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227923538311048670.post-82686325017369187662008-05-26T16:04:00.000+01:002008-05-26T16:04:00.000+01:00I'm guessing the photo of slim white woman in knic...I'm guessing the photo of slim white woman in knickers is a 'joke' on political correctness...I'm not sure it works.
