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.

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

Croatia 1-2 Germany
Austria 1-3 Poland
As usual leave your predictions in the comments.

Eurocast episode 3, the Euro 2008 podcast, - plus predictions day 4
Tuesday, 10 June 08, 08:50 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.

Monday, 09 June 08, 10:26 AM
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.

Saturday, 07 June 08, 11:06 AM
Right, just for the laugh I'm going to do a predictions post for each days games.
This is based on nothing more than pure guesswork, some of you might like to be more scientific in your approach. So let's crack on.
Switzerland 2-1 Czech Republic
Portugal 3-2 Turkey
Goals, lots of goals. After so long without football that's just what we need. I'm even expecting Greece to play wonderful attacking football. Well, maybe that's stretching it a bit too far. Anyway, feel free to join in, leave a comment and predict your scores.
Also, remember the first Eurocast goes out tomorrow morning. We want to hear from you by phone, by Skype or by email. Your comments are what makes the podcast so don't be shy. The more creative you are the better. We'll have a t-shirt to give away for the best contribution each day as well.

The Eurocast - the podcast that you can be part of
Thursday, 05 June 08, 01:39 PM
Right then.
The Eurocast. It's a podcast, as you might have gathered, and it's also about the European Championships. That's why we called it the Eurocast.
But it's slightly different too. The
Eurocast is the only podcast that will give fans a chance to have their say on the games at Euro2008.
'How?', I hear you cry. At least I imagine I hear you cry. Easy. We've set up a voicemail system so you can call in and leave messages before, during or after any game.
We want to hear what you think about team selections, goals scored, goals disallowed, red cards, individual and team performances, controversial incidents and basically anything that pertains to Euro2008. All you need to do is leave a voicemail, we'll get them all together and broadcast them each morning in the Eurocast.
So, for example, if you have thoughts about this Saturday's games which are Switzerland v Russia and Portugal v Turkey you just pick up your phone, dial the number and leave your message. You have until Sunday morning to get your messages in. Try and keep them under 60 seconds and leave your email address at the end. That's because we'll have prizes. Yes! Prizes. There'll be a t-shirt to give away for the best contribution each day and maybe at the end we'll have a grand prize for the best overall contributor.
Make a note of the numbers. We have a UK number and a Swiss number for anyone who's actually at the tournament and wants to get involved.
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
This is the only Euro2008 podcast that's giving fans a voice. Tell your friends. Tell them to tell their friends. Tell them to tell their friends to tell their friends. And so on.
The Eurocast starts this Sunday. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment here on this blog.
