Sport – Euro 2012
What rubbish the TV pundits utter. And we are invited to believe them.
Paid handsomely to predict the result and damn the underdog
Time and again they fail to take into account that a game is made up of two halves, played by two teams.
Pundits 0 – Greece 1 – They all got that one wrong, having predicted a Poland win.
Then there was Netherlands v Denmark – The pundits dismissed Denmark in favour of the classy experienced Dutch players
Pundits 0 – Denmark 1
Spain the World Cup champions were predicted to humble Italy but they got that one wrong too, thanks partly to Torres.
Pundits 0 – Italy 1
And now to the France v England game. We now hear that England have already booked their tickets home, that Mr Hodgson is there to make up the numbers and without Ferdinand – Rio- we are toast. Being the underdog may in fact help England and make the pundits eat their own words.
I am predicting – Pundits 0 –England 1
