    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 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.

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

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Im on 16 too!


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,351 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    18 for me


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,801 Mod ✭✭✭✭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 :D
