Euro 2008 Pool

It's time for the Euro 2008 pool -- don't make a fool of yourself like Chris Brass:

Here's how the Euro 2008 pool works, courtesy of THE Hardcore Fantasy Show:

First of all, you must select one team from each group for a total of four teams. For every win by the team you selected, you will get three points. For every tie, you will get one point.

For example, if you select Turkey in Group C, you will get three points for each game they win and one point for each game they tie. There are no points awarded for a loss.

Secondly, after selecting four teams from each group, you may pick one additional team that you haven't picked from any of the groups known as the Double Point Team.

For example, you can choose Switzerland even though you already might have chosen Czech Republic from Group A. Points will be awarded for this team in a similar fashion as in Rule No. 1, except that you will get double the points. So you will get twice the points for a Switzerland win or tie than you would if you had selected them as one of your first four teams.

At the end of this step, you will have a total of five teams selected.

Next, pick three players. Players get you two points for a goal.

Lastly, pick the winner, which earns you 12 points if you get it right.

If you win, you get a pair of these Nomis Football Boots, which are roughly $300 U.S.

Here is their interesting ad:

So in total:

Four teams from each group
One double-points team
One Euro 2008 winner
Three players
