I AM a big football fan but cannot get excited about Euro 2008.
So, in order to try and get interested in it, I decided to have a number of bets so I could at least pay attention to what's going on.
Even just backing a couple of the favourites to win the Golden Boot award made me take note of results and scorers.
But only for 3 days.
Good old Villa goes and bags a hat-trick on Tuesday night and bang goes any hope of winning money.
So now I am going down the route of finding the two finalists....Holland and Germany look to be prime candidates.
What's the betting they both go crashing out...
