    The Euro 2020(1) Prediction Competition

    Welcome one and all to the official (on here anyway) prediction competition for this year's delayed Euros.
    I know that a few other players join usually as well as our diehards from the regular season competition, so for the benefit of those who aren't exactly sure how this works, here are the rules:
    Score 1 point for a correct result and 3 for a correct score.
    Posts made or edited after the kick off times of any of the games will mean those games will not count.
    There will be an additional bonus prediction as well.
    I will update the scores after each round.

            I watch so much football every week and can never predict group games to save my life. So, I'm jumping right to the final: a repeat of Euro 2000 but this time Italy beats France.

                    Are there any bonus points for predicting any teams who scratch from the competition?

                          Am I allowed to predict a first goal time for a game I'm predicting a scoreless draw? Going with Jah's suggestion, no goals scored in first game.

                                I think you just say ‘no goals scored’ and then take the bonus points in that eventuality.

                                            The closest wins in both of these cases. This is not the case when the bonus is for predicting which player is first booked or first to score, which may be a later option.

                                                Oi SOTS can we change our predictions? I watched England “play” you see.

                                                  You can change any prediction up to the kick off time. If you are doing so after an earlier game has kicked off then I would do so in a new post. Your latest post is the one that will score.
