Good stuff. Interesting that while a lot of players are impacted by Germany out, there's no one to take advantage, with no one choosing Croatia, and Denmark and Mexico gone too.

Bowl 3: Denmark 10, Germany 29, Croatia 0, Mexico 3

Cheers Gaaboardmod5. Really enjoyed following this thread. Thanks for your effort 👍

[GAABoardMod5]

Reminder on the scoring system for the games from now on...including the third place game.  Only the Final has a different point scoring method.

Games after group stage: 

Team that progresses gets 3 points plus 1 point per goal (penalty shoot-out goals do not count).  Team that loses gets 1 point per goal, plus 1 point if losing after extra-time or penalties.

Correctly picking the Winner gets 5 points, correctly picking the beaten finalist gets 3 points; Correctly picking both gets 10 points.

Last superb.  Maybe my club are right to sack me
