I can't see why that would be a problem. Wait, you're in my group. You're disqualified.

You have nothing to worry about. I am astoundingly crap at predictions.

Not kidding, I took Wirtz and Musiala out of my fantasy Euro team 10 mins before kickoff...

I somehow managed to forget how shit Scotland are

Spare a thought for Steve Clark. He took WBG out of the starting line-up before kickoff.

Pretty happy with that start. It’s all down hill from here, mind you.

 

[Triggaaar]

Scores after Germany v Scotland (3-0, 5-1, 10, 3, 1, 0 : max points = 23)

Firstly, thank you for doing this, it looks like a lot of work.

Unfortunately (for me and my wasted joker) I think the score should be Germany v Scotland (3-0, 5-1, 10, 3, 1, 1 : max points = 24). When it was 4-0, Germany scored and the goal was given on the field. I think it was VAR that ruled it out (very quickly with the automated system)

I did look closely at that and came to the conclusion that the VAR point only comes into play if it actually goes to the officials in the video room rather than the automated system. It is a difficult one to work out at the moment so will see what happens as the tournament progresses.

That's fine with me, I appreciate the extra two points

Another point of clarification please.

The ref gave a yellow card to the manager of Switzerland today - would you count non playing staff in the yellow and red card tallies ? If you do then you will probably have to watch every game as the card is not shown in the BBC's team line up summary of the match.

Lucky Losers slots have changed for this competition, they are worked out as follows:
1. Highest total score over three rounds of group matches that has not finished in the top two.
2. The three highest scores over individual rounds of group matches that have not finished in the top two or has the highest total score.

Players only, so no points if the two kit men decide to have a punch up on the touchline.

 

[Triggaaar]

Scores after Hungary v Switzerland (0-2, 1-3, 12, 4, 0, 0 : max points = 24)

My guess was (0-0, 0-1, 49, 4, 0, 0)
So for each of those 6 options, I think I got points as follows: 0, 2, 0, 4, 2, 1 = 9 (I was given 7). Have I got it wrong?

No, I have - will amend with next match.
