Our winner for Week 1 with 20 points is @Le Tissier's Laces There were no correct score or result bonus points this week unfortunately. Quite a few players got 2 correct results (tom, Shepherd's Clearing, LTL, jacksk1, saintrichie and Tottonsaint) but you needed 3 or more for the bonus points. tom and LTL were the closest to getting correct result bonus points as they both had 6 out of 8 correct results with them both getting the Argentina-Saudi Arabia and Denmark-Tunisia results wrong. For the goalscorers Mbappe and Messi scored at 'home' and Gakpo and Bale scored 'away'. LTL had Mbappe and Gakpo so picked up a bonus point. The best bonus game this week was England-Iran with 8 goals but weirdly nobody went for that game.
