INB4 a McNair goal.

You dodged an absolute bullet in that draw pal

Points for these match ups are scored from the 8 round of 16 matches only or are the quarter finals included as well?

Round of 16 only.
Then quarter finals only.
Then our final is spread across the semi finals and final.

Thank you.

Preview of match ups.

RB vs EG

It seems RB successfully employed my suggested strategy and given his opponent a defender who probably will not play. Payet or Pogba, which will score for France in their game which they should win against Ireland. Payet has been one of the players of the tournament while Pogba has disappointed. RB will hope a Polish forward fires while Sturridge is perhaps EG's second best scoring option.
RB the favourite because he has more players who look like they could score.

Scotty vs JLM
Vardy or Kane might be perplexing the England coaching staff but Scotty has both so it does not matter to him, however Ronaldo and Perisic are the keys to a very strong team. JLM will rely on Nani scoring any Portugal goals and Eder to finish on the counter attack to score an upset.
Scotty a big favourite with his team of stars.

99Problems vs Pv4
Buffon would have been the pick up of this round for anyone except 99Problems. For a team build around the Spanish forward picking up the opposing goalkeeper could be a bit of insurance but probably is just a waste. It is time for Mandzukic to stand up. Giroud scored the only goal that Pv4 needed to get to this stage but can he reproduce again or will Muller score his European Championships Finals goal?
This one looks like a 1-1 draw to me.

Redkat vs Imno
Redkat smashed the group stage with his stars of Bale and Neuer, and they look good to continue their run. Imno needs Lukaku to prove he is very hungry for goals and Griezmann to deliver on his huge talent.
Redkat a large favourite, even if Hamsik is a wasted pick up.

especially as he did nothing for me :lol:

Argh I guess Hamsik isn't McNair but he's not going to stick around in this long. Imno is a tough matchup. For Hamsik to get a point it'll mean Neuer can't. Going to tip imno in this

My tip: Muller & Giroud to guide me to a 4-1 win

Honestly I'll be happy to get the 1:lol:

I only have 3 players. I'm 100% boned unless Lukaku hattrick lol

Can we count that as a Bale goal? Otherwise I'm stuffed

Points scored by Patrico and Hennessey only as far as I can tell unless the penalty shootout goals count.

GRIEZMANNNNNNNN

I'm 2-0 up! 3 players v 6 lol

MAKE THAT 3!!!

Updated scores

RB 0-1 EG (Draxler)
Scotty21 0-1 JLM (Carrasco)
99 Problems 1-0 Pv4 (Hennessey)
Redkat (2:3) Imno (Gomez, Neuer; Patrico, Greizmann x2) Final score.

Congrats imno. Saw the German score here and was coming to boast about what a shrewd signing Gomez was turning out to be. You may have had 3 players only but there was a lot of junk in my squad and my predictions for Coman turned out to be terrible. Tough go now out when I think I'm the top scorer currently.

Happy overal with how this went. Really had no clue what I was doing so whilst bale and Neuer were shrewd signings my other ones were the best. Tipped myself to finish bottom so to top the group in convincing fashion was really pleasing.

Thanks to everyone involved in organising this. Heaps of fun and will definitely be up for future editions.

Thank you to Bale and Neuer for all the points you got me.

Looks like its up to my englishmen to rescue me

So after tonights games REMEMBERS Those teams who go through have to pick TWO players and TWO Words from the following list.

3. Ceramic
4. Remote

Coman was a good call, he was the man who made the difference last night IMO , just didn't find the net.

So unlucky though, Redkat has 9 goals in the comp, nobody else has more than 5. And he's out :lol:

Top scorers

Redkat - 9
99P, JLM, Vaughn, Imno - 5
RB, EG - 3

Fuark I need players I'm fairly sure haven't even appeared in the competition yet to save me big time!
