Euro 2012 predictor? (football, hooligan, BBC, European) - - City-Data Forum

Does anyone know of a good Euro predictor game? BBC had a great one for the World Cup in '06 where you predicted the scores for each game and it automatically tabulated your results. I'm looking for something along that line. I must have did that over and over. Here's a link to the old game so you can see what I'm talking about.

Two thing will happen at this European Championship 1. Germany will win the tournament and 2. there will be riots and hooliganism on a scale not seen since the 80s.

Ireland are going to with it!!!!!

I have little to no faith in the police from either country either, not hoping to see any violence.

I have the Netherlands winning but I always pick them. There could be violence issues but I think many stereotype Eastern Europe fans. If the tournament was staged in England or Italy no one would comment much about violence despite both nations having a history of hooligan violence. A lot of people like to take jabs at Eastern Europe, but we'll see. Though, I will admit, I've heard the games in Poland can be rough.

I am not just talking about Poles, if the police are not on the ball hooligans from Germany, England, Holland, Croatia, Greece, Russia and Italy will cause major problems.

The same could have been said for Austria-Switzerland. I don't see why people have fears for Poland-Ukraine. If anything, I would think the hooligan types would be better behaved. My assumption is that Polish and Ukrainian police/special forces would have a more hardline stance and might not take crap from hooligans. I saw a clip of English hooligans trashing a bar and assaulting a Muslim guy in Germany back in '06. The German authorities did nothing for too long. Eventually they sent in some Darth Vader looking kats and they took care of business. I don't think authorities in Poland and Ukraine would wait as long to kebosh hooligan activities.

Just my impressions. I have no knowledge of policing or crowd control tactics in either country. Perhaps I'm just assuming they'd be more hardline because it's Eastern Europe.

Ireland are going to win it. If not us then the Netherlands will win it I think. Back to the actuall question being asked you can do all fantasy football Euro 2012 games which is really good. I love been a European when the Euro's come along.
