It's a big well done to Paul Mathieson's Hulkamania Thistle, from that quality site that is PTFC.net, as he leads the charge on 71 points. David Villa, and Ricardo Carvalho provided most of the points for Hulkamania, but every player in the team did their bit by putting points on the board. Paul's team sit in 14,717 in the overall competition, 46 points behind the leader.

Matchday Two starts tonight so make sure and get your team sorted out and ready to go before the 4pm deadline or you mat find yoursel stuck with some of the under-performing diddies you had in the previous round.... here is the full table after Matchday One

Oranje-BOOOOOM!

As you've probably guessed, I've been so engrossed in the tournament now that it has finally arrived that I completely forgot about the old bloggin caper.

We've had six games so far and tonight's was undoubtedly the best of the bunch with Holland magnificent in trouncing a very poor Italian side. I'd only just woken up in time to catch the game after being bored to tears watching Jim's dad from American Pie's team struggle to excite against Romania. For a squad brimming with experienced pros, France were merde, to say the least and will be heading home before you can say 'Ooh-la-la' from what I watched

Holland on the other hand were excellent. They worked their socks off and managed to make a decent Italian side look decidedly average with their work ethic and counter-attacking play. OK, the linesman gave Holland a helping hand in the Wankdorf stadium by not disallowing Ruud's effort but I honestly don't think it would've made any difference anyway as the Dutch fully deserved their win.

Tomorrow's games are intriguing. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Senors of Spain perform and reckon this tournament could be the one where they shed the bottle-merchants tag that has stuck with them for so long. Russia will give Torres and Co a tough opening test though and it could well be these two sides who head through to the knockout stages.

The Greece v Sweden game is a funny one. That match could go either way, but I don't expect excitement like we all witnessed tonight as the holders will undoubtedly use the tactics that won them Euro 2004 and try to bore the Swedes to tears. May be the best time in this tourney to make that trip to Ikea folks.

Blue Square.. £1m Challenge

Bookies Blue Square have come up with a novel competition for Euro 2008 where you could win the princely sum of £1million!!

Just over 2 days to get your entries in...

With 2 days 17 hours and 16 minutes to go as I write this to the kick-off of Euro 2008 time is running out for you to get your entries in for the Fantasy Football competitions that I found so far. Here is a quick rundown on the five competitions that have YOYWYW Leagues set up and how to get yourself in on the action...

McDonalds Fantasy Football at UEFA.com
Having run a warm up competition with the recent international friendly matches the UEFA.com competition made the bizarre decision that everyone had to register again for the main event. With over 100,000 players playing in the friendly game it would've made much more sense to allow players to simply pick their final team and get on with it, but hey ho, it's their ball and this is the way they're playing with it.
The prizes for this competition have been announced and include a JVC home theatre system, adidas Europass match balls, official strips from the participating teams and more.

Daily Telegraph Euro 2008 Fantasy Football
With over £25,000 in prizes, the Daily Telegraph competition, one of the most popular Fantasy Football competitions around is one of the few newspapers to show an interest in Euro 2008 by running a competition. Surprisingly, the red-tops have chosen to give this tourney a miss, leaving a lot of regular players searching for another game to get stuck into and though the high-brow Telegraph may not provide the tits and reading that some of the red-top readers might require, the Fantasy game may well fill the void.

Metro FREE Euro 2008 Fantasy Football
Newspaper the Metro has come up with a visually, not the prettiest competition, but one that provides a £15,000 prize pool with a £10,000 cheque for the winner. There's not much too this competition and transfers are limited, so choose wisely, but there's a decent prize pool on offer and with this game being FREE it's well worth an entry.

Join the Yodeller's Friends & Enemies League by registering here, pick your team then go to your team managers page. Once there go to the F&E section on the left hand side and enter the pin number 62 in the 'join existing league' section.

Yahoo/Eurosport Fantasy Football
One of the late entries to the FF stakes was the joint effort between Yahoo and Eurosport which is FREE to enter and gives players the chance to win unknown prizes. With a pretty complex scoring system this is a competition for the real boffins, but it's FREE, so give it a go anyway, especially if you already have a Yahoo account as it makes registering nice and easy.
