    Strawbs hopefully can dry her eyes with her England prediction placing her on top of the pile... for now...

    Her only realistic challenger is kitten - who if France win, she will take the crown.

    So Strawbs now has to shout for the Croats who knocked out her beloved Engerland....

    :awkward:


    Updated Table:

    Position Player Name Points
    1 Strawbs 575
    2= Osh, Kitten 500
    4= Necro, Mick 450
    6 Kolido 425
    7 quickbeam 300
    8= Murray, Pter, sKeith 250

    If Croatia win, it won't be Murray. If France win...

    Top goal scorer, total goals, red cards etc still up for grabs no? I might have a chance yet.

    :D of course... although the red cards might just be a stretch too far at your prediction iirc of 16. Must take a peek at total goals so far tomorrow.

    Yeah don’t expect my red card prediction to come off at this stage!

    161 total goals scored so far with 2 games left to play

    161, target 168, that not off the cards yet,a 4-3 final would get you that.

    Edit: wasn't even factoring in the third place playoff goalfest ;)

    Ha, looks like it'll be in range for osh to collect some points from it anyways....

    Edit: Also Pter, with 167 so it'll lift him from the wooden spoon race anyways :pac:

    You do... NOT have the spoon ;)

    By 50 points. Thank the Croatians and the French for making the final :P

    By my calculations we have a winner, but my god was it tight.

    Although I'm gonna need Strawbs to clarify - is it 10 points times EVERY goal scored if in range?

    Because in that case the results are... lol... slightly skewed.

    I gave the two lads (Pter and Osh) who were within range a point for each goal (so, 167/170).

    Otherwise it's 1670 and 1700 and there's your first and second place :pac::pac:

    I’m not entirely sure. But seems to be 10 pts per goal if within the range of 5. So think that’s 169 goals total which would be 1690 pts for both myself and Pter as were both within the range. But I could be wrong! It does seem a lot.
