Before the tournament started I put Spain as the likeliest winner and Portugal as #2. Now after seeing the tournament so far I'm putting $500 that Portugal will win the whole thing. It will happen, just watch.
Onward Chartered Soldiers, on to heathen lands,
Prayer books in your pockets, rifles in your hands.
Take the glorious tidings where trade can be done,
Spread the peaceful gospel --- with a Maxim gun.
Tell the wretched natives, sinful are their hearts,
Turn their heathen temples into spirit marts.
And if to your teaching they will not succumb,
Give them another sermon with the Maxim gun...
When the Ten Commandments they quite understand,
You their Chief must hocus, and annex their land;
And if they misguided call you to account,
Give them another sermon --- with a Maxim from the Mount

You are betting $500 for real? You'll get a good return for that amount.
Siege of Tobruk - One German POW said: "I cannot understand you Australians. In Poland, France, and Belgium, once the tanks got through the soldiers took it for granted that they were beaten. But you are like demons. The tanks break through and your infantry still keep fighting." Rommel wrote of seeing "a batch of some fifty or sixty Australian prisoners ... marched off close behind us—immensely big and powerful men, who without question represented an elite formation of the British Empire, a fact that was also evident in battle."
Yeah for real. I will place my bet come Monday. Unless that is Portugal put forth a disappointing performance today. lol. But I doubt it, I really have a very strong feeling they will win. Right now Holland looks best by far, but it cannot last I think. Spain is good but they are playing shaky and I am thinkign they WILL choke once again, which i didn't think before the tournament. Portugal on the other hand have played very solid games that they look like they can replicate again and again. And anyway, if I win the happiness will be enormous, whereas if I lose then s.hit, $500 is worth just that, life goes on.

Wish I had a spare $500, otherwise I'd be doing the 'by goal' betting, would have won a fair bit on some games, got them right, like Germany Poland, Portugal and Turkey, Poland and Austria to name a few. Would have lost some on others, but my goal sensing has been pretty good.
