Groups done, congrats Yianni

 

Two penalties and the record-equalling 109th goal for Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal 2 France 2.

On a morning when Portugal was almost sent home packing, up stepped the legend to keep the nation's hopes alive. Great tipping there by Dung, a fantastic scoreline prediction to reduce the gap to Yianni by less than ten, and complete for himself a cracking Round 3 set of predictions (23 points). But let's not take this away from Yianni, who still had a great round (22 Points) and maintains his healthy lead. Congratulations Yianni, winner of the Group games. Fifteen games to go, plenty of time for many of us to redeem our reputations, or make a dash for the Archon title; can Dung keep the momentum, or will this be Yianni's year? He is now the outright leader in Outcomes and Predictions.

Now we move into the Round of 16 and all the big guns are still in this tournament, so anything can happen with the tipping and the results. Remember to keep in mind extra time, points for penalty outcomes do not count to your outcome predictions. It will be interesting to see how people swing in their predictions. How many will go with England to beat Germany, Croatia v Spain, Sweden against Ukraine, Wales v Denmark? Tantalising games.
