    Meunier (Chadli) to put Belgium 1-0 up. I captained Meunier as well. :)

    Doing well so far. Very lucky with captains lately Varane, Trippier, Meunier (after a very poor start).

    Not sure I will be Ireland's number 1 though.

    About 20 points to make up. More realistic might be in the top 300 in Irleand after the final?

    Not sure if a France clean sheet is a good or bad thing overall for me?

    I assume a lot of people will have a good few France defenders.

    Great score there. I'd say most have 2 French defenders on average (I do). You'll probably do well to hold your position. Thanks for not entering any of my paid leagues btw cos I'm 20 points behind you :-)

    Perisic (Vida)

    I actually took out Perisic because I thought he was going to miss out with a bruised thigh. :o

    Great score. Perisic on the bench though, I feel your pain, I took him out for the final as I thought he'd miss out with a thigh injury.

    I did not even know that! :o

    I was assuming that there was a good chance of a France clean sheet.
    Thought Modric was enough to hedge my bets as he takes corners.
