Euro 2020/1 Predictions Game - Group Stage Update #1


Hi there, chaps! As of this evening, we've finished the first round of group stage matches at Euro 2020/1, so it's time to check in with our Predictions Game standings. I've totted up the points based on the group standings after that one match for all of the sides. As a reminder, you'll get two points for each team that you've correctly predicted in the top two spots and an extra point for each one that's in the correct order. In addition, you'll get a point for each of the teams that are currently the third place teams with the best records. That's a bit complicated because there are four sides who drew and are tied for third in their respective groups. Then there is Ukraine who narrow lost to the Netherlands but scored two goals. Then there are several sides who lost 1-0. So, points for all of those sides who are all theoretically in third place. 

In addition, several of you have bagged eight points for guessing that Romelu Lukaku would be Golden Boot, as he started tournament with a brace, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Patrick Schick and Mr. Own Goal. Finally, Anfield Warriors, The Bee's Knees, MUR, Red Devil, Teddy Goalsevelt, and Simon all got two points for guessing Italy's Ciro Immobile as the first scorer in the pool (Mr. Own Goal was the actual first goalscorer for Italy last Friday evening). 

All that means that Teddy Goalsevelt is off to a quick start in our game and is at the top of the charts with a bullet. Here are the standings in full: 

1. Teddy Goalsevelt - 32 points

2. The Bee's Knees - 30 pts

-  Red Dragon - 30 pts

- What's Up Wheaton Simon - 30 pts

5. West Ham Rising - 29 pts

6. The Saint - 26 pts

-  Yellows - 26 pts

8. Red Devil 1FCK - 25 pts

9. Man Utd Rules - 24 pts

10. Anfield Warriors - 22 pts

-  Gooner71 - 22 pts

12. Blue Devil - 21 pts

13. Swansong - 19 pts

14. United We Stand - 16 pts
