I'll be happier when it is back to trying to predict Premier League scores - I'm so good at that... GAME 1 Argentina v Croatia 2-0 France v Morocco 3-1 [J] GAME 2 a) Kylian Mbappé [France] b) Lionel Messi [Argentina] GAME 3 France vs Morocco
Argentina v Croatia 2-1 France v Morocco 2-0 J Goalscorers - Mbappe (France) & Perisic (Croatia) Bonus - France v Morocco
@Shepherd's Clearing you can't have Mbappe and Messi as your goalscorers as France and Argentina are both classed as the 'home' team.....

Sorry, I meant you could change your predictions to have either Mbappe or Messi as your 'home' scorer and then choose a player from either Croatia or Morocco as your 'away' scorer. With your entry as it is I have had to go with Mbappe as your 'home' scorer. Sorry
Our winner this week is @tomw24 with 12 points With the results in both games going pretty much as expected there were plenty of correct result bonus points for getting both games right. In fact most players got both results correct apart from Chilco (who had the Argentina-Croatia game as a draw), thereisonlyoneno7 and saintrichie (who both had the France-Morocco game as a draw), Ides (who had Croatia to beat Argentina) and OddRiver (who missed the deadline for the Argentina v Croatia game). There were 4 correct score predictions this week - tom, myself, Ides and OddRiver all had France's 2-0 win against Morocco. For the goalscorers only Messi scored from the 6 players selected so as there were no 'away' scorers then there were no bonus points. thereisonlyoneno7 and saintrichie were the only players to pick Messi. The best bonus game this week was Argentina v Croatia with 3 goals and SaintStu, tom and saintrichie all picked that game. In the overall table it looks like tomw24 has an unassailable lead at the top with only the 2 games left to predict this weekend but you never know.....
The race for 4th is interesting with two points separating 4th and 7th. How did I manage.to go up.a place despite finishing second last!
