How does scoring in next round work.
Is it just 5 points for each correct team that make it? Or do they have to be in the correct game?

Words fail me as an England fan. Congratulations to Iceland, but embarrassing for England.

For the second time in less than a week, England are coming out of Europe.

Now the Quarter Finals are sorted, we have a new leader, NSC President Bob Steed. He has been hanging around the top of the leader board like a bad smell, and has now overtaken Kath Russell at the top.

[Lindalbluebird]

Oh well.slippery slope for me now. It was good while it lasted. But what do women know about football- apparently more than most of you !!!

[Holkerbird]

Come on Kath, you are doing great.

[chris_roddie]

Apologies for not replying to the questions earlier. Points are awarded for predicting which teams reach the Last 16, QF, SF and Final (plus the winner). This is the format we have used for a few years now.

Probably for the next World Cup, we will include points for correct positions in the groups and latter rounds.

Anyway, Semi Final line up now confirmed. France did what England could not, and beat a country with a population of Dudley. Don't think Dudley has ever had so many mentions in the media. Apart from a Castle, Zoo and Lenny Henry, there is not much else notable about Dudley.

Out leader board with three games to go looks like this;

(1) Bob Steed (A) 182

Thanks Chris I really enjoyed that, loads of fun for a fiver! Good luck to those still in with a shout.

[chris_roddie]

Bad luck for the Welsh after their dream was halted by Portugal, and hosts France put Germany in their place.

With one game to go, the top of our leader board has changed a bit.

Well, its all over now. Portugal claim their first ever major championship win wit victory over France in the final. Who would have predicted that after their poor start.

Unsurprisingly, England had a shocker at the finals of a major tournament. We have come to expect that these days.

Now we look forward to the new season with our beloved Barrow AFC.

Many thanks to all who took part in our Predictions Competition. The final leader board looks like this.
