Predicting Sports Is Hard

062308euro2008.jpg

Ex-City Paper editor and Johnny Doc spokesman Brian Hickey made his picks for Euro 2008. Let’s see how he did in the first round:

Portugal vs. Germany [Already complete 2-3]

Croatia vs. Turkey (2-2, Croatia advances on PKs)
Netherlands vs. Russia (3-1)
Spain vs. Italy (1-0)

Not to be nitpicky or anything, but the only one he got right was the one he picked after the game was over. Predicting sports is hard, which is why I like to stick to betting on sensible things where you can get good odds, like American Gladiators.

    And not to get nitpickier, but good lord, if my soccer picks rise to the level of noteworthy, this is a sad, sad town.
