Euro 2020/1 Predictions Game - Semi-final Update

I've barely come down from the thrilling extra time win for England in that semi-final last night, but it's time again to take stock of our Predictions Game. As a result of the wins for Italy and England, I've assigned six points for those two sides. Many of us predicted England in the final and one or two picked Italy without England. Only United We Stand picked both sides, so he's jumped up into second place right behind Teddy Goalesevelt as a result of those twelve added points. 

So, what's left to sort out? We're still looking for the First Hat-trick, and Harry Kane is the only England or Italian player that anyone chose. That would be two points if that happens (and my head will explode with delight if it does!) 

We're still looking for the First Red Card in the pool and only West Ham can win those two points if Italian hatchet man Giorgio Chiellini gets sent off on Sunday (and wouldn't that be lovely!). 

Sadly, the one point for The First Match to go to Penalties in the pool is gone, as no one guessed England-Italy for that one. 

Also, no one got the points for Golden Glove, which has gone to England's #1 Jordan Pickford for five clean sheets in the tournament. 

That all means that it's down to a final tussle between Teddy Goalesvelt, who is on 63 points and United We Stand who is on 61. If Italy win on Sunday, Kane fails to score and Kane fails to be named MVP, Teddy will win by those two points, as he guessed France to win, Romelu Lukaku to be Golden Boot and Kylian Mbappe to be MVP. 

If, however, England win (10 points), Kane scores a goal and ties for Golden Boot (8 points) or Kane gets the MVP (also 8 points), UWS will lift the coveted Lancer Cup for the first time. 

Here are the current standings: 

1. Teddy Goalesvelt - 63 points 

2. United We Stand - 61 pts

3. Yellows - 57 pts

4. Man United Rules - 55 pts

5. Swansong - 52 pts

6. Red Dragon - 51 pts

- What's Up Wheaton Simon - 51 pts

8. Gooner71 - 48 pts

- Red Devil 1FCK - 48 pts

10 Anfield Warriors - 47 pts

- The Bee's Knees - 47 pts

12. Blue Devil - 45 pts

13. The Saint - 42 pts

14. West Ham Rising - 39 pts
