After being ridiculed recently for my honest and personal views on Enlgand's Euro 2004 campaign (see here ) I thought I would publicly defend my friend the Fink Tank.

The Fink Tank is a statistical generator that (umm) generates predictions based on logical factors (such as form etc) It was created by a bunch of students and tutors at The University of Warwick (clearly no mugs then) and has been found to be very accurate.
Check this to get a better explanation of how it works.

Now why do I keep referring to it? Well you see, all it does is predict results based on statistics and really... theres no point to it. I mean Greece proved it wrong after all didn't they? Well yes and no. Greece proved that statistics mean nothing in reality but at the same time statistics can't be ignored because generally they are accurate. Just see the 16% chance of England losing to France...
