    <laugh> Just getting it in as a base line ..I like to have a look at the actual players just before KO for final decision. Where I change and screw up my (usually more correct) early predo <doh>

    Pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. With added shouting at the TV..''you bastards! I knew I shouldn't have changed'' ..typical Nufc, basically.

    Hazard screwed me over last time in the tunnel....looked all worried and concerned ..changed from a Belgium win..On pitch during national anthem..looked like a tightly focused laser/terminitor T3 ..the lying lying bastard!

    @Beardsley's Stylist @G4rdToonArmy

    Yours are the only predictions still awaited for the players still in with a shout of winning this.
    I didn't like to point that out. At least Chaos generally only changes his wrong prediction to an even more wrong prediction. His best one was at half time in the Belgium-Japan game when Japan were 2-0 up and he declared he knew he should have gone with Japan.

    Some interesting changes after last night.
    - While Musty remains in lead the result means that he can't get any points from his Winner/Runner-up/3rd place predictions whereas next 4 all have a chance of points from this.
    - Reckon its now down to the top 4 and hard to choose between them.
    - highest scorer from last night Beardsley's Stylist with a perfect 8.
    Looking at the predictions for tonight's game smart money would probably be on Beardsley's Stylist:
    An England win tonight would mean:
    Musty Frog: 0 points from game and 0 position points left
    Chaos: At least 2 points from game but maximum points from position predictions moves to 0
    Beardsley's Stylist: 0 points from game but still 20 position points available
    Nobby: At least 2 points from game but maximum points from position predictions moves to 0
    A Croatia win tonight would mean:
    Musty Frog: At least 2pts from game but 0 position points left
    Chaos: 0 points from game but maximum points from position predictions stays on 15
    Beardsley's Stylist: At least 2 points from game and still 20 position points available
    Nobby: 0 points from game but maximum points from position predictions stays on 15

    This might all come down to predictions for final and 3/4th place games

    And now the standings in the Prediction Leagues equivalent of the Golden Boot - The Nostradamus Award for the most number of spot-on game result predictions:

    I liked this - but only because your calculations are wrong. See the latest results for an explanation.

    So results after last nights semi-final and its coming down to the wire:
    upload_2018-7-12_8-20-54.png

    Top Scorer last night: Musty(the traitorous Welsh git with a chip on his shoulder) with a perfect 8

    So it will come down to the last two games and the winner/runner-up/3rd positions to decide who wins this prestigious competition:

    Contrary to Chaos' calculations a Croatia win will give both him and Nobby 15 points but Beardsley's stylist 20points (as he has France coming second) so I reckon its all on the score predictions for the next two games. Musty obviously benefits if France win as none of the others will score any placing points either.

    So for the final time your predictions please. Good thing is that with 3 of you in the running tactical predictions will not be possible, although maybe once you see what happens from 3/4th play-off.

    Saturday 14th July
    Belgium vs England
    Sunday 15th July
    France vs Croatia

    Positions in Nostradamus Award after last night:
