Happy to do it to be honest. Although Pommy seems to be doing rather too well for my liking lately, I've really enjoyed doing it.

Once it's all done and I've snatched second place from the jaws of victory, I'll post a pic of my olde worlde method of doing it, now resplendent in orange and green highlighter all over it.

Thanks to you all for taking part, not much point me having the idea and no bugger partaking.
Yeah sorry about that i was spurred on by your early admittal youre a cheat hehe
Well, actually.... wink

Yes, well done Mickk, you're on a terrific run of form at the moment. That's three maximums in a row and eighteen points from the last nine games.

Not a shock to most people though as in a survey I compiled, the 'Thonner that most people believed was capable of coming from behind and surprising people when they didn't expect it, was Mickk, with 93% of the vote.....

Mickk was the only one to get it right although mentions in despatches should also go to Dan1981, E31 Shrew, PHuzzy, JWVW and Pommy who all picked up a point.

Jacob and Seventy, sorry but you earn no points from this round as you both missed the deadline.

On to tonight and I'll happily waive my points goodbye if it means England win and reach the final. Except if it's 2-0 because that's what Mickk has gone for. So anything but not 2-0.

Please.

Gadgetmac did the arithmetic on it, so I wouldn't be surprised where the missing 7% went. hehe

Well, that was a real gut wrencher. Different team, same outcome although we have definitely over achieved this year..... clap

In the 'Thon, seven players got it spot on as a 1-1 draw. Glover Mart, Dan1981, Brabus Mog, E31 Shrew, 48k, JW-VW and J Cremonini were the lucky seven. As an additional interesting stat, Dan1981 has predicted the correct result now nine times in a row, fair play to him.

So it's all down to the weekend. Mathematically, six people can still win the title which is quite remarkable after all but two games. Sure there will be some tactical predictions flying about; for example, I could wait till Pommy posts, copy his and guarantee beating him. That said, I still fear the guy even from 12,000 miles away so I'll go early and he can choose what he wants to do from there. It's only fair and right to do so.

Sat 14th July - 3pm - Belgium v England
Sun 15th July - 4pm - France v Croatia

2-1
3-1

Predictions in by 2pm on Saturday, please.

If anyone feels I'm treating them unfairly by me going early, please say so. Much less sending the predictions to someone neutral, this seems to be the fairest way to do it.

2 2

France Croatia

2 0

Not sure why they still persist with the 3rd place play off. I take it Sir Gareth will put all those that haven't played full games out...

Thanks for a great Thon Glovermart....shame it has to end!

My thoughts are Belgium will suffer more for being in the play off and we will play for the fans

Belg 1-3 Eng

The final...... I hope Croatia do France so more a hopeful guess than educated

Fra 1-1 Cro (1-3 AET)
