  • Euro 2012 – England vs Italy Predictions

    For some reason, England are considered the slight favorites by the odd-makers before their quarterfinals match with Italy. Despite that it’s England, who have lost all their quarterfinals except for three times (1966, 1990, 1996) in big tournaments, and haven’t beaten a big time team (World Cup Champion) in a tourney since 1966.

  • Euro 2012 – Spain vs France Predictions

    Somehow, through the changes of time, Spain are considered as favorites against France, their Euro 2012 quarterfinals opponents. Despite never beating France in a competitive match, drawing once and losing five times. But things change, and Spain are European and World Champions. France, despite the talent, are a locker room mess.

  • Euro 2012 – Germany vs Greece Predictions

    People are trying to give this match a political angle, but there isn’t any on the pitch. Germany, one of the favorites to win the tournament, facing a team that has never beaten them, Greece, who probably shouldn’t be in the Euro 2012 quarterfinals according to most people.

  • 2012 NBA Finals – Game 5 Predictions

    Despite being 1-3 down, something no team has ever come back from in the 2-3-2 era, the Oklahoma City Thunder know it’s still open. They’ve lost the three games by a total of 16 points, meaning a play here and a stop there would mean at least one more win. The problem is figuring out LeBron James and the team the Miami Heat have suddenly become.

  • Euro 2012 – Czech Republic vs Portugal Predictions

    It’s not all about Cristiano Ronaldo, but as usual, with Real Madrid or with Portugal, it’s mostly about him. Because the Czech Republic aren’t that good of a team, and because CR7 can’t help but draw all the attention to himself, on purpose or not, as the two nations open the Euro 2012 quarterfinals stage.

  • Euro 2012 – Quarterfinals Predictions

    We get our first day of rest in Euro 2012, as the eight teams prepare for the quarter finals, with Spain – France and England – Italy looking like the headlining matches. Germany and Spain should still be considered the favorites to win this tournament, but suddenly Portugal emerge as viable contenders, with Cristiano Ronaldo firing on all cylinders

  • 2012 NBA Finals – Game 4 Predictions

    The situation? Oddly familiar. The Miami Heat went into Game 4 last year with a 2-1 lead as well. The Oklahoma City Thunder lost two straight games in the Western Conference Finals before making a sweeping comeback. But LeBron James is a different player than he was a year ago, the Miami Heat a different team.

  • Euro 2012 – Day 12 Predictions (England vs Ukraine, Sweden vs France)

    The final day of the Euro 2012 group stage arrives with three teams in Group D fighting for their spot in the quarterfinals. France play pointless Sweden, who don’t seem that interested in posing much of an obstacle, while a very confident England plays another host nation, Ukraine, needing a win to stay alive in the tournament.

  • Euro 2012 – Day 11 Predictions (Croatia vs Spain, Italy vs Ireland)

    Two questions heading into the final day in Group C – Will Spain and Croatia strike a ‘dirty deal’ to get a draw that will eliminate Italy from the picture, and can the Italian offense finally show more than a goal a match, against an Ireland defense that has conceded more than anyone so far in Euro 2012?

  • 2012 NBA Finals – Game 3 Predictions

    Now it’s the Oklahoma City Thunder’s turn to step up. For Scott Brooks to show he’s learned from the rights and wrongs of the first two games. For Russell Westbrook to play past all the criticism and demands to change his ways. For LeBron James and the Miami Heat to protect their home.
