FRIDAY REVIEW
Top score for Friday was 10 points, achieved by 5 teams, including World Champions Opendoor who finally showed some of the form that won them World Cup Predictor two years back. Paul Peter climbs 18 places but is still languishing down in 75th place. The top two picked up 9 points each, and with Harry's team scoring 4 there is now a 6 point gap between 2nd and 3rd. |
SPAIN 3 TURKEY 0
So we had the first game of the tournament earlier with four goals, now Spain become the first to score three. And what, no late drama? 99 of us predicted this one, with 88 opting for the Spain win. 76 collect 2 points for the right result, one manager scores 3 (4-1) and 11 got it just right, earning 5. Leo's Lions were the highest placed team to do so, having climbed from 46th to 35th earlier in the day. Gary Watson is now up to 22nd and has climbed an impressive 24 places today. |
CZECH REPUBLIC 2 CROATIA 2
At the risk of repeating myself once again... another late goal changes everything! Czech Republic's equaliser hands a maximum 5 points to six managers. The highest placed of those is Lucasforlife who were 32nd before the game started, and are right up to 13th.
2 points each for the top two, and the gap to 3rd is now up to 6. No changes in the top three, while Alex Abbas' Game of Throw-Ins climb three places to 4th. |
ITALY 1 SWEDEN 0
Yet again a late goal changes everything... the three managers who predicted 0-0 must be gutted. 72 of the 99 managers who guessed the score are in the points having selected an Italy win, with 14 scoring 5 for the correct score, 40 scoring 3 points for the correct margin, and the rest 2 points.
Brendan and Megan Keenan had the same score again, and yes it was 1-0. Brendan's Notts Co USA remain 3 points clear in top spot, and there's now a 5 point gap between 23 Lions in 2nd and Barca Bears - who are up a couple of places to 3rd. |
