Hi Ari, you are missing the total number of goals.

We have a good number playing so far, plenty of time for others to join. I will post my own shortly. you can make change up until the deadline, just please quote your original post so we can see it.

I will keep tabs on the scores as we go along but please check your own scores also in case there are any errors. We can use the official UEFA website for scorers and assists

I ran one like this previously for the World Cup where you picked a team from each group but there were rules you had to follow in terms of seedings and picking a team from each continent. It was very complicated but it kept it interesting.

My entry:

Choose 8 teams:
Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia, Spain, Sweden, Portugal, France

Choose a winner: Spain
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer
Assist King: Thomas Muller
Goal King: Kylian Mbappe
Goals: 110
Red Cards: 5
Own Goals: 4
Pen Shootouts: 5
Final Goal Scorer: Eden Hazard

That was hard.

He's no Olly Giroud anyways

lassykk

Yeah I've heard he's top rated alright

Some googling later...

He's too boyish with the clean shaven short haired look, but the facial hair and long greasy locks he's rocking in other pics do nothing for me.

Yeah I see Rylan there too now and it's hard to see past it, but the hair is good :pac:

Next suggestions???

Just one game down, don't think anyone will object if you want to put in an entry, I'm fine with it anyway.

Oh wow! Really. Thanks. Will get it in now. Ta.

lassykk

Ah yeah fire away. Just a bit of craic

sullivlo

Aye. You were probably likely to pick Italy and unlikely to pick Turkey and 3 goals won't make much of a difference!

Baggly

I think Sully should be stripped of some points for no apparent reason, but that you should enter as well.

Turkey were embarrisingly poor, played like they had never seen a football before!

Kolido

We can start calculating scores now with the group stages complete. Remember it is 3 pts for any team that topped their group and 1 pt for any other team that qualified.

I'm on 16 pts

Baggly

Im on 16 too!

Zaph

18 for me

Necro

18 here too I think

Kol, the points allocated is it just the 3 for topping the group or is there 3 for topping the group and an extra point for making the last 16? So in essence take Italy as an eg. 3 points for topping the group and then 1 point for making the last 16?

Or am I confusing everyone
