Prediction League BPPL Euro 2016 Prediction Cup - Knockout Rounds

And our final quarter final result, after the Icelandic warriors dumped out the English ()

@ninian opinion 4 - 3 @hampshire Blue

The theme of single point wins continues as Ninian edges Hampshire thanks to Griezmann's goals against the Irish. Apart from that little separated their predictions in what has been a very tight opening round of head to heads.

That means we have our semi - final fixtures! -

@Barry Tiger vs @BluefromBridgend

Poland vs Portugal (30/06/16 @8:00)
Wales vs Belgium (01/07/16 @8:00)

@Blue Sheep vs @ninian opinion

Germany vs Italy (02/06/16 @8:00)
France vs Iceland (03/16/16 @8:00)

@ninian opinion stick your predictions up here in white or whatever. I'm away until Saturday so results will be revealed then

 

Blue Sheep,

PM'd mine just now.

 

Italy 1 - 2 Germany. (Pelle) and (Muller 1st)/Gomez)
4 yellows

 

@Barry Tiger 1 - 3 @BluefromBridgend

Both will be pretty happy to get last night prediction completely wrong! Both backed Belgium wins and got nothing. Unfortunately for BT, the damage had already been done as Bfb crucially backed Lewandowksi (despite an indifferent tournament so far) as his first goalscorer. That means both bragging rights and a place in the final go to Bfb, in search of his 4th trophy.

 

And tonight's game -

France 2 - 1 Iceland (Greizmann & Grioud (1st) for France and Ragnar Siggursson for Iceland)
5 yellows

 

Thanks Sheepy - I enjoyed my run to the semi final
Good luck BfB in the final match!

 

@Blue Sheep 3 - 6 @ninian opinion

Alas there shall be no final appearance for Sheepey at this tournament At least this time it is a well deserved victory for Ninian, who picks up the full three points for his French goalscorers, as well as Grioud's first, and another point for Ozil's goal yesterday. On the mark and Bfb will have to be weary. Nice one Nin

Portugal vs Wales (06/07/16 @ 8:00)

The Final (10/07/16 @8:00)

 

Go! Lads! Go!
Enjoy the final and very many thanks in advance to Mr Sheep who has put in shifts above and beyond the call of duty.

 

Spot on Ffb!!!!

 

The French came up trumps for me Mr Sheep.

You've set us a tricky final set of selections with having to correctly pick the finalists.

I'll be scratching my head thinking these over and PM you tomorrow.

I echo the thanks for your endeavours.

 

Good luck lads and thanks again Mr Blue Sheep

 

Good luck Nin.

I will have to bring in support from Gypsy Rose Barry Tiger to try to get these right.

 

As we head into the final third, the scores are as below -

@BluefromBridgend 3 - 6 @ninian opinion

Not an insurmountable gap for the veteran trophy bagger to close but Bfb is going to need to get Sunday's final spot on. Ninian continues to make hay with his scorers and also correctly changing the France/Germany result late on to pick up a point. Can he hold his nerve to win his first final since losing the Div II Playoff final two years ago?

Portugal vs France (10/07/16 @8:00)

 

I am afraid my thoughts on the final matches so far have been as bad as yours!

 

Well I had France to beat Germany and if Loris hadn't made that great save at the end I would have had a correct score.

Had Nani to score against Wales as well.

Got to try and turn it around tonight.

 

And our final result of our month long predicting bananza -

@BluefromBridgend 4 - 6 @ninian opinion

Bfb gets a point for predicting that Portugal would become kings of Europe but that alone is not enough to overcome the 3 point gap that Ninian had opened over the semi finals. I would however like to meet the man who bet of Eder, who was pretty useless for the Jacks, scoring the winning goal in the final! This means that -

Ninian Opinion lift the Euro Prediction Cup!

Commiserations Bfb, a good run of games

I'm going to take a break now. Might be back tomorrow with some tournement facts but I might not aha.

Thanks to everybody who predicted!

 

Well done Ninian.

I guessed you would predict France. I would have in your position. I went for a 3.1 Portugal win to give me any chance and got let down by my predicted scorers.

Hal Robson-Kanu gets BBC Goal of Tournament.

Thanks for all your work Sheepy. Great effort. . Enjoy 24 hours off.

 

Well done Ninian and thanks Sheepy for a great tournament

Won't be long now before I renew my acquaintance with BfB

 

You stay in your own seat BT!!!!

 

Thanks BFB .

I just could not see past France and had to stick with my Giroud/Griessman combo. How wrong was I

Thanks again BS, very enjoyable bit of fun which added to the fantastic Euro tournament.

See you all for the new season prediction league
