From a betting point of view, you couldn't do much wrong in placing a few hundred quid on Italy to win outright, this time.Originally Posted by Win2Win
Now who should I support Summer 2008?
Or maybe we give the Croatian team dual English passports, and we support them
I believe the odds are quite good at the moment.
In 2004 I waltzed out of William Hill's with a nice wad of change.
Laid 50 quid when Italy was touch and go at 16/1.
As usual, in retrospect I wish I had put more money on it, but I remember doing it out of loyalty to my Country rather than being convinced by the players prowess on the field...
Checking on Hill's website. Italy is given 11/2... I think that another 50 are in order.... Unless the lady of the house says otherwise...
It will not be a dull summer after all, with Wimbledon boring the heck out of me, some sort of rugby or the other, golf tournaments all over the place, with Tiger Woods winning nearly everything, and don't forget the English favourite.... Cricket.....And rain.... dodging...
If you feel energetic you can support some Jock north of the border tossing his caber.... At the Highland Games.
I would love to travel to Austria and watch a couple of games, but I am a married man now so instead Jet and myself will be probably driving to Italy for a couple of weeks, where she will be introduced with full pomp and fanfare to the rest of my clan.
The fact that one of my brothers has one of those big f..off, all singing all dancing nearly wall to wall plasma TV doesn't come into the equation at all...
Sorry guys, but England has had it coming for a long time... A disaster waiting to happen...
