Morning all,

a bit later than usual but better late than never. Although that remains open to discussion. Let's start as usual with the predictions. Firstly congrats to ElTorro and 4ndyL who both got the Croatia v Poland result correct yesterday.

I keep expecting lots of goals in games, perhaps it's time to think differently. So for today:

Romania 1-2 Holland

Italy 1-0 France

Expect a glut of goals now! In today's Eurocast, the Euro 2008 podcast, we talk to German correspondant Tom about the 1-0 win over Austria and he's not optimistic about Germany's chances against Portugal in the next round. We also catch up with our regular Italian correspondant Gabriele and he previews Italy v France from an Italian perspective.

Plus there are your emails and voicemails and do please keep them coming.

Happy Saturday to you all,

this is the Eurocast, the podcast that doesn't even take weekends off! That's how dedicated we are. As usual we'll start with the predictions. None right yesterday for anyone and I have to say I'm down money on my betting. I need a big one to get me back on track. So for today I reckon:

Spain 2-1 Sweden

Greece 0-3 Russia

Your predictions welcome in the comments.

On today's Eurocast we talk France v Holland. What a win that was for the Dutch and we look at it from both sides with French correspondant Ollie and Dutch correspondant Ashwin. There's comment on Italy v Romania too and a brief look ahead to today's games.

Do feel free to email or voicemail the show at any stage though. We'd love to hear from you.

Eurocast, the Euro 2008 podcast, episode 6 - plus predictions day 7

Friday, 13 June 08, 03:14 AM

Friday! Hurrah. The end of the working week. But not for the Eurocast, oh no. We'll keep on 'casting.

As usual we'll start with our predictions and well done to Hodiddle, the only one to get a correct prediction yesterday.

My completely wrong predictions for today are:

Italy 2-0 Romania

France 1-2 Holland

I'm putting money on Holland and Italy for the wins. I think France are too old, too injured and too Domenechy to win the game. Regular pundits should now know to do the exact opposite of what I say as I never get any right. But I have to start sometime, right? The law of averages and all that. Could today be the day?

Now the Eurocast. I talk to German correspondant Tom about their 2-1 defeat to Croatia yesterday, there are some of your emails about Austria v Poland, some thoughts about the penalty that was given, a preview of Italy v Romania with Horia and more. 

Please do get in touch with the podcast, we're always happy to hear from you by email or voicemail. Give us your opinion on the issues, the controversies, the players, performances or anything else to do with Euro2008.

Thursday, 12 June 08, 03:31 AM

Happy Thursday to you all and welcome to another Eurocast and another round of predictions. 

As usual we'll start with predictions and only ElTorro got one yesterday, correctly predicting the Turkish win over Switzerland. For today's game my completely incorrect guesses are:

Croatia 1-2 Germany

Austria 1-3 Poland

As usual leave your predictions in the comments.

Now, in today's Eurocast Tom and I discuss Portugal v Czech Republic and Switzerland's exit at the hands of the Turkey. There are some of your emails and voicemails too as well as a preview of today's games.

Eurocast, the Euro 2008 podcast, episode 4 - plus predictions day 5

Wednesday, 11 June 08, 03:52 AM

Morning all,

are you all rushing out to buy your Greece shirts? Your Pro Evolution Greece 08 video game? I'm not sure you are.

We'll start as always with predictions. ElTorro pulled one right out of the hat with a correct 4-1 win for Spain, that's impressive. Nobody else got any right. I'm quite happy with yesterday's results as a shifty little bet won me €150. Obviously I'm not betting on correct scores because I still can't get any right. 

Today's incorrect predictions are as follows:

Portugal 2-1 Czech Republic

Switzerland 1-1 Turkey

As usual give us your predictions in the comments.

Now to the Eurocast - the Euro2008 podcast. In this episode there are a lot of emails from you guys about Greece and how negative they were against Sweden. They're not winning many friends, that's for sure.

We talk to our Swedish correspondant Chris about the 2-0 win last night and our regular Spanish football expert Luigi talks about Spain's win over Russia.

There are some of your voicemails and emails about the negative approach to the game that some teams take and more.

Don't forget we really want to hear what you think about the matches, performances and issues of the tournament as they happen. It's just a quick phone call so please do feel free to get involved or just send us an email.

To contact us use the info below:

UK -  +44 20 7193 6971

SWISS - +41 44 586 62 08

But that's not all. If you have Skype you don't even have to pay for a phone call. Simply add 'oleole.com' as a contact then use Skype to call us. It'll go directly to the voicemail.

And if that's not enough we're happy to get your emails too - send them podcast@oleole.com

Eurocast episode 3, the Euro 2008 podcast, - plus predictions day 4

Tuesday, 10 June 08, 02:50 AM

Morning all,

welcome to day 4 of our Euro2008 predictions and Episode3 of the Eurocast. Not one person got a correct prediction for yesterday's games. The closest was Dan who at least predicted 3 goals for Holland. My forecast for today's game comes after much scientific analysis and a visit to a medium. Every little helps.

Spain 2-0 Russia

Sweden 2-1 Greece

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Now, the Eurocast. In this episode Tom Thom(p)son and I discuss Holland v Italy, which was the best game of the tournament so far. We've got some of your voicemails regarding that game too.

We also talk to our French correspondant Ollie about the France v Romania game which was probably the worst game of the tournament so far, as well as some voicemails from a particularly unhappy Romanian fan. Have a listen to what he says because it's an interesting debate. Should football teams be more expressive even though it'll probably cost them, or is the defend at all costs approach acceptable? 

Tom and I differ on this one, what do you think? That's what this podcast is all about - your opinions. Let us know by voicemail or by email.

To contact us use the info below:

UK -  +44 20 7193 6971

SWISS - +41 44 586 62 08

But that's not all. If you have Skype you don't even have to pay for a phone call. Simply add 'oleole.com' as a contact then use Skype to call us. It'll go directly to the voicemail.

And if that's not enough we're happy to get your emails too - send them podcast@oleole.com

Right then, until tomorrow's predictions and Eurocast.

Morning all,

hopefully you've enjoyed a fine weekend of football. Nice to have it back, isn't it?

We'll start with the predictions from yesterday unlike the first day nobody got both correct. Hitzelspergerandchip got Austria 0-1 Croatia correct while gimmeaminute was spot on with Germany 2-0 Poland.

So far I have gotten none of them right because I am absolutely crap at predicting anything. That won't stop me having a go though, my predictions for today's games are:

Romania 0-2 France

Holland 2-2 Italy

Right then, tell us how you think the games are going to pan out in the comments below. You'll also find Eurocast2 to listen to or download. 

In this episode we talk to our German correspondant Tom about the victory over Poland, Austria's defeat to Croatia and there are some emails about Croatia's diving, thoughts on refs and a preview of tonight's games in the group of death.

But remember we really want to hear what you think. Don't be shy, let rip, be creative, whatever you like. Just take part.
