    Aaagh! I forgot the Women's European Championship!! How did I forget to
    make a prediction for that!!?

    Actually I also forgot to mention that last year I got 17 correct, plus
    1 runner-up. Plus 1 predicted runner-up that were Champions. For the 2nd
    year in a row I tipped Wolfsburg to win the German Women's League and
    Bayern Munchen to end 2nd and Bayern Munchen were Champions and
    Wolfsburg ended 2nd. Plus a few 3rd places, semi-finalists and quarter-finalists.

    It turned out to be 1 of the hardest to predict.

    Women's European Championship: Germany

    Except of course some of them are halfway through the season.

    Domestic League Championships:

    Italy:  Internazionale

    Possible for sure. Would be nice to see Atalanta win it, or failing
    that, Napoli.

    Spain:  Barcelona

    The wheels seem to be falling off there. Atletico is on a good run and
    I would not be at all surprised to see them win it this year.

    Germany: Bayern Munchen

    Very likely though I hope not.
