| On June 10th the 2016 UEFA European Championship begins, or Euro 2016 to you and me. Twenty-four teams, their 23-man squads now finalised, are to take part in this festival of football, which culminates in the grand final on July 10th. Many teams are fancied; others, less so. Some good players will play well and others have a chance of coming in to form... and now we're veering dangerously close to the territory occupied by this article from 2001 (!). Short story short, I ask you, fellow GNamer Forumite of some repute, to partake in a sweepstake. To the winners, glory - to the wooden spoon holder, a possible actual wooden spoon (but not the one I use to stir paint, cos that would ming). Sign up, and soon! List Of Sweepstakees (Is So A Word) And Their Teams:
- ZeroJones -
Switzerland and Turkey
- Balladeer -
Croatia and Wales
- Crumpy Andy -
France and Slovakia
- The Cappuccino Kid -
Belgium and Iceland
- Muss -
Spain and Hungary
- Jimbob -
Poland and Northern Ireland
- masofdas -
England and Romania
- Treesmurf -
Czech Republic and Russia (worst pairing as both were knocked out at the group stages )
- gjones -
Italy and Sweden
- The_Jaster - Portugal and
Albania
- JayMoyles -
Austria and Republic of Ireland
- Drunkalilly -
Germany and Ukraine (Ukraine were the worst team in the tournament as they lost all three games)

| I'll play,
Any sort of system as 24 teams are a lot, I know when I did the rugby sweepstakes you got a top team and not so good team. Be great if we could get 12 people and we have a top 12 team and a bottom 12 team. |

Ideally we'd have eight or twelve people, because both those numbers go into twenty-four. Any other numbers of players will be tricky to deal with! |

I think you find that's because your Scottish. Drunka will be 11 most likely, that we will only need one more. |

| Si, El_Jaster. I know a few people who are heavily into club football but don't give a monkey's about international: whatever floats your boat. It's just going to be a bit of fun, that's all. |

OK, we have our twelve angry men - contenders, you will go on my first whistle. By which I mean "Teams will be drawn in the next few days". There is a prize for the person with the winning team and one for the wooden spoon owners, natch. |

| Aaaaaaand I'm back to not being interested in the footie. Which one came from the top half of the draw Zero? I can't really see either of them getting through the group stages. |
