EURO 2000 Predictions Competition

Where did all that injury time come from then? In the end it was a case of so near but yet so far for J Deahan. France's dramatic win means the Ian Messenger has run out the winner of our little competition, with Melanie Thompson taking second place.

All 83 entries have all been fed into an Excel spreadsheet. If you click here you should be taken to a web page showing all the group match predictions. If you kept a copy of your entry form then you can check that I've input your scores and jokers for the group matches correctly. I'll be adding the later stage predictions to this page soon.

Holland, with home advantage of course, are clear favourites to take the trophy. But apparently home advantage isn't going to help Belgium though, only six entries have them down for the semi-finals. It's interesting (well it is if you're an anorak like me!) that while two-thirds of the entries have Italy down to reach the semis, only one in six think they'll get to the final. The choice of top goalscorer is a close run thing with Patrick Kluivert just edging out Thierry Henry.
