Toy boy Archibald proved he's not just a pretty face and succulent midnight snack for Lady G by correctly prognosticating Spain's triumph over Germany.
For the tournament, Archibald finished 11 for 15 with his predictions or 73% correct.
Very impressive, but a sample size of 15 is too small to prove anything (as I remind Archibald the morning after his birthday after getting my kit off the night before to "Simply the Best" before giving him his birthday gift). My advice to Archibald: Don't quit your day job.
After all, 73% correct was only good enough to finish tied for 12th out of 69 contestants in Archibald's non-profit office pool. (Archibald has insisted that I report his limp joke that to pass the time between now and the NFL season his next project will be to organize a 69 contest with 69 contestants. Archibald, that is so bad.)
We'll see whether Archibald can back up his soccer football prowess 2 years from now with World Cup 2010 predictions.

Archibald's Euro Cup Final Pick
Lady G's gorgeous toy boy Archibald was perfect with his Euro Cup soccer semi-final picks taking him to 10 out of 14 for the tournament so far. In the Sunday final, Swami Archibald is calling Spain over Germany.
Sadly, it looks like Archibald will finish out of the money in the non-profit, 50%-to-charity office pool he entered. Archibald did well, but to win a 69-person pool you have to come much closer to perfection.
It's a good thing for Archibald I've been with fewer than 69 men in my life or I'd be holding him to a much higher standard in the boudoir.

Archibald's Euro Cup Semi-Final Picks
Official Lady Godiva toy boy Archibald went 50/50 with his Euro Cup soccer 1/4 final picks. Portugal and Netherlands went down in upsets. But, Archibald forecast Turkey's upset win over Croatia correctly as well as Spain over Italy.
In the semi-final matches, Archibald's crystal ball says:
Germany over Turkey
Spain over Russia
Archibald entered a non-profit, 50%-to-charity office pool in which he had to pick 8 countries. He has all 4 semi-finalists. At the end of Thursday last week, he was still 17 points behind. But, he picked up 11 points from Friday to Sunday and he is guaranteed 14 more points. So, he thinks there's a good chance that he will finish in the top 3 and walk away with some winnings.
If so, I've told him there will be no more access to Lady Godiva's goodies until he uses part of his prize to take yours truly out to dinner. Since Archibald's idea of fine dining is Medieval Feast, I have laid down the condition that the restaurant has to specialize in food of the Euro Cup champion. I'm hoping for a Spanish victory, since I love paella. I have promised Archibald to treat him to Medieval Feast when England wins the World Cup and to ride there on a horse wearing the birthday suit made famous by the original Lady G. That's a promise I'm not expecting to have to make good in my lifetime.
I am chuffed to report moving up from 5th to 4th for picking winners at http://www.crowdpicks.com/
