We are in a contest with Slick (his picks are here) to pick the Euros this year and by we, I mean Sarah, Campbell and I. I explained to Sarry who was good and she picked her own biases but Cam had trouble making up his mind. We had to put pieces of paper in a hat and have him draw.
The question is... will my hours of listening to football analysis every week pay off or will Cam and Sarry randomly pick their way to victory. Here are our picks for the group stage, which BTW you can see on ESPN this year.
Group A
Matt - Portugal and Czech Rep.
Sarry - Portugal and Czech Rep.
Cam - Czech Rep and Turkey
Group B
Matt - Germany and Croatia
Sarry - Germany and Poland
Cam - Germany and Croatia
Group C
Matt - Italy and the Netherlands
Sarry - Italy and Romania
Cam - Italy and Romania
Group D
Matt - Spain and Russia
Sarry - Spain and Greece
Cam - Spain and Russia
I guarantee the person with the least knowledge will win. That's usually how it works!

Italy made me proud yesterday. Except not at all.
