h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Internationals time again

From past experience this is usually a good opportunity for folk to pick up points. And given the average performance so far this season, you need it


England v Israel
Italy v France
Scotland v Lithuania
Sweden v Denmark
Wales v Germany


All predictions to be in by 3pm on Saturday, 8th September.




(and I'll be marking week 4 tomorrow - I know, lazy bastard 'n' all that...)

Might have to wait till 2.59pm to post my Englandd predicition, the teams dropping like flies.

England 1-2 Israel Owen
Italy 0-0 France
Scotland 2-0 Lithuania Miller
Sweden 1-1 Denmark Larrson
Wales 0-3 Germany Podolski

England 2-0 Israel (Owen)
Italy 1-2 France (Henry)
Scotland 3-0 Lithuania (McFadden)
Sweden 2-1 Denmark (Ibrahimovic)
Wales 1-3 Germany (Kuranyi)

What is the bias against the highest scoring British team or is the trip to Iceland just to easy to predict first the winner then who the Northern Irish scorer might just happen to be.

Remember that season where every l'Arse prediction ended up 1-0 (Henry)? Well Norn predictions would probably be along the same lines.

I've also got the games in the wrong order, it's Latvia on Saturday.

England 2-1 Israel (Gerrard)
Italy 2-2 France (Pirlo)
Scotland 2-0 Lithuania (McFadden)
Sweden 1-0 Denmark (Ibrahimovic)
Wales 0-3 Germany (Podolski)

England 1 Israel 1 Michael Owen
Italy 1 France 1 Filipo Inzaghi
Scotland 1 Lithuania 0 Shaun Maloney (isn't this like an SPL game 6 Heart's players in the away squad)
Sweden 2 Denmark 1 Marcus Allbäck (this time without any pitch invasion radically changing the table)
Wales 1 Germany 3

Argh my scorer for Wales Germany Miroslav Klose

England 3-0 Israel (Owen)
Italy 0-0 France
Scotland 2-0 Lithuania (McFadden)
Sweden 2-1 Denmark (Ibrahimovic)
Wales 2-2 Germany (Eastwood)

England v Israel 3-0 (Steven Gerrard)

Italy v France 1-1 (Thierry Henry)

Scotland v Lithuania 2-1 (Craig Beattie)

Sweden v Denmark 3-0 (Zlatan Ibrahimovic)

Wales v Germany 0-4 (Lukas Podolski)

Here's my desperate selection;

England 3 v 1 Israel ~ Young
Italy 1 v 1 France ~ Inzaghi
Scotland 2 v 0 Lithuania ~ McFadden
Sweden 2 v 0 Denmark ~ Allback
Wales 1 v 2 Germany ~ Eastwood

England 2-1 Israel (Crouch)
Italy 0-1 France (Anelka)
Scotland 0-0 Lithuania
Sweden 2-1 Denmark (Elmander)
Wales 0-3 Germany (Klose)

well, i knew crouch wasn't injured anyway!

anyway, with him suspended the scorer points are a crap shoot... hopefully someone will score for england but for the life of me i can't figure out who.

Mckay, please dont tell me thats Luke Young you expect to score.

It was him or Emily Hesketh.

I was tempted to go for broken toe himslef but decided to hold sway with the clubs stance on that matter.

Am I the only one who wonders why it's not OK to take drugs in training but a pain killing steroid is seemingly OK.
If that's not a performance enhancer then what is?

England 1-1 Israel (Ben Sahar)
Italy 3-3 France (Thierry Henry)
Scotland 2-1 Lithuania (james McFadden)
Sweden 1-1 Denmark (Zlatan Ibrahimovic)
Wales 0-4 Germany (Lukas Podolski)
