All scores were checked today...lurganblue was the only entrant with an error.  All seems correct now, but PM if you think otherwise.

Morocco got 4 points today and Portugal got noe in the first game.

France  got 5 and England 2 in the second one.

Correct...fortunately my sums are correct though...England scored 13 goals and had 3 wins plus 1 draw = 23 points.  That typo in the sentence is corrected now, but it make no difference to the scoring.

Thanks for pointing it out.  The excitement must be getting to me...unforced errors aplenty. 

The 4 teams left have 2 games each...a goalfest in the third place playoff game could decide this competition yet.  Especially if Croatia and Morocco make it to the final...Argentina/France for third place anyone?  Exhibition stuff or carnage?

[GAABoardMod5]

Argentina get 6 points today and Croatia get none.

I thought the 3rd place  playoff didn't count?

[GAABoardMod5]

3rd place counts from your original picks from the 8 bowls.  The final gets points from the original 8 bowl picks and also from the final prediction picks.

Argentina get 6 points today and Croatia get none.

Croatia get 5 points today and Morocco get 1.  Nobody picked Croatia and 3 had Morocco...Aristo60, BennyHarp and smort.

For the final tomorrow, entrants can get points for their bowl picks PLUS their final prediction.  For example, if Argentina win 3-0, an entrant who picked Argentina out of the bowl gets 6 points.  If the same entrant has Argentina beating France as their Final prediction, another 10 points.
