Group stages over, we now move to the knockouts Well done Erik, top after week 3 and special mention for Power for topping the round 3 table. The scoring will be as follows. Predictions will be as the game finishes - after extra time if necessary. I will be awarding 2 points for the correct result, 4 points for the exact result (growing by another point in subsequent rounds). A bonus point will be given if picking the correct winner even if through pens, but only 1 point in these circumstances. If predicting a draw after 120 mins, feel free to add a guess on the eventual winner, via pens to gain the bonus points. All clear?

We have to win a penalty shoot-out some time. Providing Woy drops Joe Hart we stand a chance against Iceland. Now if it was Germany that's another matter, we'd do better playing 5 keepers and having only one penalty taker.

Funny how nobody ever mentions how often England benefited from a lack of goalline technology, isn't it?
