Xaviasleep

At time of writing, there are??54??players in this lovely little Euroguff game. I will show my pleasant nature by embracing late??entrants up until the first match kicks off.

If you're a??twitter user, please use??#euroguff??when tweeting about/during the games??to get a sense of camaraderie amongst us. I have set up a list of??all known player twitter names here??(you may need to be logged into twitter on the web for this to work).

I have invited you all to??contribute to this blog. You can either directly comment on the posts, or reply to the emails that come from Posterous. Generally, if you see anything interesting or funny, send it on to me.

Poland v Greece 5pm – BBC

69% of Euroguff players see this as a home win for Poland, which indeed it would be as the game is taking place in Warsaw.

Just four brave souls see the Greece bailing themselves out in drachmatic (ahem) fashion. These mythical heroes are Dario Made-the-Gradi, Toy Bodgson, Yankee's Spankers and Anjusha Klins-Morinho.

Russia v Czech Republic, 7.45pm ITV

Russia come into this game in fighting shape, being unbeaten in 14 matches and having made antipasta of Italy in a 3-0 win last Friday. The Euroguff comrades are uniformly confident that this will go to form:??

Official app of Euro 2012

“Official apps” are so often terrible. Too many Ts&Cs, rampant sponsors’ messages, navigation designed by committee etc.

Let’s see with this one…

The Pickwick Papers

Dickens’ first novel is almost the story of a road trip; the nineteenth century gap year adventure of posh old gents.

It’s a little odd at first, as every chapter seems a self-contained sketch, but eventually it blends into the rambling, wonderfully observed novel we know from the author.

In particular, every page stings with wit and satire. No-one takes the piss like Dickens.

Twitter and Euroguff

One week to go before Euro 2012. There are 30-something players so far and I think that’ll get up to 40 or so with all the bandwagon jumpers glory seekers latecomers.

I think it might be fun to put players in touch via twitter. I don’t know if this’ll work or not, but here are some useful links:
