Euro 2020/1 Predictions Game - Round of 16 Update
Hiya, Predictions Game loyalists! With that last gasp, extra time win by Ukraine yesterday evening, we've successfully made it through the Round of 16 of Euro 2020/1, so it's time to take stock of our game standings. With so many big sides - Netherlands, Portugal, France and Germany - dropping out at this stage and so many relative minnows - Czech Republic, Denmark, Switzerland, Ukraine - still left in the tournament, it's a wonder that I had any points at all to add this time. It's been a crazy two weeks. So, hat's off to MUR, who won this round, predicting fully six of the eight teams still in the tournament.
Frank de Boer won the sack race on Monday, leaving the Dutch national team job, so I've rewarded two points to Red Devil, The Saint and to myself (Blue Devil) for that correct prediction. We're still looking for the First Hat-trick (2 pts) and the First Red Card in the pool (1 pt).
It all means that Teddy Goalesevelt remains top of the standings, with a six point lead over Yellows.
So, enjoy the Quarter-finals this weekend and I'll be back on Sunday to take stock again. Here are the current standings:
1. Teddy Goalesevelt - 52 points
2. Yellows - 46 pts
3. Man Utd Rules - 45 pts
4. The Saint - 42 pts
- Swansong - 42 pts
6. United We Stand
- What's Up Wheaton Simon - 41 pts
8. Red Devil 1FCK - 40 pts
9. Gooner71 - 38 pts
10. Anfield Warriors - 37 pts
- The Bee's Knees - 37 pts
- Red Dragon - 37 pts
13. Blue Devil 34 pts
14. West Ham Rising - 31 pts
