Euro 2016 Grandstand

[MJA]

So Klinsmann just need Ireland to win 3-0 with Walters scoring after 3 minutes and following this up with another couple

It's in the bag lads

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Thought about a couple of the higher ones but have many come off yet?

The France result ruined us..

Other than a few 10 pointers (that it looks like you picked), not a lot. I suppose it was either risk it all to finish near the top if it worked out but risk finish bottom or play it steady and finish mid-table. You've done bloody well considering.

 

[Leewilson]

Don't decimal odds include the stake?

I think you're right actually, I'll edit that.

 

[HarvSFC]

Not sure Epic/JJH should take part in the next challenge.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

Team casillASS!

Got a little tip for you to try out when trying to be funny next time:

Be funny.

Got a little tip for you to try out when trying to be funny next time:

Be funny.

No need to get so heated.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

No need to get so heated.

No heat here my friend, it's all love.

 

[Leewilson]

So only two of the scenarios that weren't chosen have come in so far. 4/9 matches have seen BTTS so far which means all 3 would need that today for scenario L to occur. Hazard needs a goal for D to come in.

D - One of Oliver Giroud, Harry Kane and Eden Hazard score (4 points)
E - There is at least 1 0-0 draw (4 points)
L - Both teams score in more than half of the matches (8 points)
M - Countries bordering the Black Sea (Turkey, Ukraine, Romania and Russia) pick up more points altogether than their opponents. (8 points if correct, 4 points if equal)
P - A penalty is missed during matchday 2 (10 points)
S - Sweden beat Italy (10 points)
T - A team come from behind to win a game (10 points)
V - A player scores a hat-trick (12 points)
Y - Albania and Hungary win their matches (20 points)



Also, just a reminder of the overall table. A win for Olsen this week would propel them right back into the mix. Last 3 fixtures today.

Overall table - week 1/6

1) Team Gullit - 5
1) Team Zagorakis - 5
3) Team Casillas - 3
4) Team Klinsmann - 2
5) Team Olsen - 1
6) Team Deschamps - 0

 

[Murphy]

What sort of respectable games master goes for decimalised odds over fractional?

Disgraceful.

 

[Spirederman]

If you've read what this previously was....

Ignore it. I've lost the plot!!

 

[TomPNE94]

What sort of respectable games master goes for decimalised odds over fractional?

Disgraceful.

Decimals are a million times easier

 

[Veggie Legs]

What Tom said. It's mind boggling that anyone would use fractional odds by choice.

 

[Aber gas]

Fuck off Ireland.

Scenario U is currently sat on:

Premier League - 6
Serie A - 5
La Liga - 4

with 2 matches to go.

 

[Magic]

Glad we've got joint 2nd at least guaranteed as not sure about our scenarios coming in.

 

[Leewilson]

Make that:

Premier League - 7
Serie A - 5
La Liga - 4

Looking good for Casillas, Gullit, Klinsmann and Olsen. Deschamps will be looking nervously over their shoulder.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Does that count as a defender scoring?

Haha, no!

I think we need a steward's enquiry.

The steward says no.

4) Gullit - 28
5) Klinsmann - 20
6) Casillas - 16

Failure to score in the first 5 minutes means Zagorakis, Gullit and Klinsmann's potential drops by 10.

Gullit need the Premier League to come up trumps as top scorers to leapfrog Deschamps and draw level with Zagorakis. If this happens, Zagorakis need a red card to take outright 2nd.

Klinsmann and Casillas will definitely be the bottom 2 now. Casillas can leapfrog Klinsmann if a defender scores and the Premier League are not the top scorers.

Also, congratulations to Olsen for a guaranteed win. I will update the overall table after the match.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

It's fair to say, we've wiped the floor this round.

Let's hope we haven't peaked too soon.

Well done to Olsen who steam rollered this week. Gullit and Zagorakis both scrapped to 2nd place whilst Deschamps might just regret not being a little bit braver as they were only 2 points away from 2nd. Klinsmann might regret their all out attack approach as some smarter choices would have seen them trouble 2nd as well. Casillas will want to largely forget this round.


Overall table - week 2/6

1) Team Gullit - 9
1) Team Zagorakis - 9
3) Team Olsen - 6
4) Team Casillas - 3
4) Team Klinsmann - 3
6) Team Deschamps - 2

Gullit and Zagorakis have been the strongest team so far proved by the fact they hold the best advantage going into week 3 as well. Olsen have picked up since week 1 and are showing some fight. The other 3 need to up their game if they want to avoid being cut adrift.

Deadline for the week 3 game week is Sunday (tomorrow) 8pm
