The winner/s will be crowned ‘GN Clever Clogs’ ?

So I will kick off

Wimbledon Berretinni win against Djokovic in 4 sets (here’s hoping)

Final Euro 2020 - Italy 3 England 2 (Raheem Sterling at least 1 goal)

Now over to you. ??⚽️⚽️

Yes Lemongrove you were a little optimistic.

Well I see I got the right prediction for the footie unfortunately but no goal from Raheem. I have awarded myself a small box of Maltesers therefore.

Yes Berrettini acquitted himself well ???

I think my 6-0 prediction for England was a little optimistic, now I come to think about it.?

PS We watched the final in a pub. There were around 20 of us to start, only a dozen left by the end. There was a bit of disorderly conduct when a 10 year old had his whistle confiscated by his dad for inappropriate use. Several supporters slightly overindulged, went off to the toilets and didn’t come back. There’ll be some sore heads tomorrow, but I can confidently say that we haven’t overwhelmed the local emergency services. Well done and hard luck, England, it was fun while it lasted. smile

Hmm. Can I have another guess? grin

Maggiemaybe Sun 11-Jul-21 19:31:27

I’m predicting 2-1 to Italy. Please note that this is what I think will happen, not what I want!! ?????????????????????

Well done to Novak Djokovic superb athlete but Berrettini is definitely a future champion. As others predict I anticipate lots of trouble whether England win or lose. But prediction 2-1 England.

Tennis passes me by, don’t even know who’s in the final.
Football tonight....6-0 to England! I would like a big box of Maltesers as my prize Nan if am proved right.?

I'll buy you a big box of Maltesers every month for a year if that prediction is correct lemongrove!!!

Shinamae Sun 11-Jul-21 18:57:40

3 -2 England…..⚽️❤️‍?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

grannyactivist Sun 11-Jul-21 18:54:37

lemon not to mention the drunken carousing that I expect may follow in homes and ‘gentlemen’s’ clubs!

nadateturbe Sun 11-Jul-21 18:52:17

Thanks Grandma70s. I'll go with that!

Grandma70s Sun 11-Jul-21 17:44:13

Berrettini was very good, but it became obvious Djokovic would win. I stopped watching it before the end.

I have no interest whatsoever in football, but luckily there is a Summer Night Concert from Vienna on BBC4 at roughly the same time, so I shall watch that.

I predict that the emergency services will be overwhelmed by celebrating drunken crowds if England win. I further predict the emergency services will have to deal with drunken carnage if England lose. Either way I’m feeling for our emergency services tonight.

I also predict that whoever wins at Wimbledon there will be no drunken carousing in the streets by spectators afterwards.

There may be a few carelessly lobbed bananas or strawberries though, and a litter of champagne bottles all over the place.

? sad for Bertinni - what a good player. Certainly one to watch.

Well done the Serb.

Not interested in football
?? wrong shaped balls for me.
Would like us to win though

Daisend1 Sun 11-Jul-21 17:26:43

Wake me when its over as the tension will be more than I can bear at my age. Unlike in sixty six and a much younger me watched England, as it happened, go on to win.

Bridie22 Sun 11-Jul-21 17:24:07

England to win 2-1, Kane and Sterling to score....fingers crossed.⚽️⚽️⚽️?

NanKate Sun 11-Jul-21 16:58:09

Well I can see my first prediction is wrong. Come on Berrettini take one more set off ND.

I think your right Kandy. I suspect a few spectators will sadly come home with Covid.

I must cook supper in between the 2 events. DH likes a Sunday meal where as I would be just as happy with a glass of Prosecco, French bread and cheese.

Kandinsky Sun 11-Jul-21 08:23:41

Regarding football:
I predict a riot.

Kamiso Sun 11-Jul-21 08:19:12

England 3. Italy 2.
I hope it doesn’t go into extra time. 90 minutes is enough!

NotAGran55 Sun 11-Jul-21 08:18:06

2-0 ??????????????
Kane & Grealish .

tanith Sun 11-Jul-21 08:17:18

I don’t want to jinx it by predicting the result so I’ll just ?and hope I’m right.

farview Sun 11-Jul-21 08:16:22

I'm predicting England winning 3-2...I wish it was on shortly because I'm buzzing with excitement...?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

NanKate Sun 11-Jul-21 08:14:06

Well it looks like it is only the 3 of us. I thought stacks of GNs would join in.
