3.5 does sound good odds... but a hundred euros is a bit too much money to waste.

Actually, I thought about investing 200€ in it, for a 500€ yield in the event of a win.

But 100€ is fine too.

Isn't that 2.5 to 1 then? 
Nyes. Or 5 to 2 if you're in the UK. It's just a question of phrasing. The way such odds are expressed in Germany, that's 3.5.

Just switched to the Swiss HD channel, because the Austrian commentary sucks badly and is full of technical problems.

Italy has to win in 90 minutes plus additional time though, so I get my win (3-way bet).

In the 2-way bet incl. overtimes plus penalty, the quota would have been much lower (1.8 or so for Italy and about 1.3 for Spain).

What a crap.

Looks like a waste of money. Italy's playing really "meh" so far.

So, as things stand at the moment, Mitt Romney will be elected President in November according to the Keystone Phil sports curse ?

Actually, if the result remains this way, I would get 18 points today and win the competition.

But the money would be more important ... Sad

So the Italians play a single good game the entire tournament and it just happens to be against Germany. Sad

Uh... England? The first Spain one? Silly Lief.

First ever defense of the European title. First time a team reached three Euro/WC finals in a row, IIRC.
Number of players to have two Euro titles under their belt before today: One - Rainer Bonhof, 1972 and 1980. Number of players to have two Euro titles under their belt after today: 13.

Is losing to Spain a monumental failure, though?
Of course losing by three or more goals (entirely possible if looking at the match until now) would probably be.

It's over. Spain wins for the third time in a row. I guess it's going to become my least favorite team at this point.

Well, at least Spain isn't playing as boringly as it was before.

Their first performance against Spain was actually pretty great, that's true. But the performance against England was pretty poor. They should have won that comfortably but England survived to penalties.

The referee has apparently not forgotten about his country's elimination from the tournament...

And now Motta is injured and Italy are down to ten men. Whoever said "hast du Scheiße am Schuh, hast du Scheiße am Schuh"?
EDIT: Andy Brehme apparently.
