    I haven't seen any Euro games, so I thought with the Euros only a couple of days it feels only right we get a little fun game under way.

    The 24 teams have been split into 4 Pots sorted via the odds of winning the tournament. Everyone will pick ONE team from each Pot who they think will have the best goal difference over the whole tournament.

    How to Enter

    • Pick one team from each Pot.
    • Guess the total number of goals for the tournament

    Mike, what's your guess for the total tournament goals? Will be using this as a tie break if needed.

    Extra time goals are included as well as in game penalties, but a penalty shoot out wouldn’t be counted.

    If we take Euro 2016 as an example the tournament total goals were 108 goals.
    Groups - 69
    R of 16 - 19 (88)
    1/4 final - 15 (103)
    Semi - 4 (107)
    Final - 1 (108)​

    The goal scored by Éder in the final was aet and is included in the tournament total goals.

    How does the scoring work for this game?
     
  24. HHHornet

    Scoring works using Goal Difference, so each of the four teams that are selected the GD will be added together and the winner will be the person with the highest GD.
    Using your selection as an example by the end of the tournament you could have:

    Belgium +6
    Netherlands +2
    Poland -1
    Slovakia 0​

    Total GD = 7

    In case of a tie, the closest to tournament total goals will be the winner.

    After the first 4 games of the Euros two players are tied in the lead, both K9 Hornet and WatfordÉire.

    A very quick start out of the blocks for both the Azzurri and The Red Devils with Lukaku netting a brace for the latter.

    Most importantly of all, thoughts and best wishes to Christian Eriksen. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Now we are midway through Matchday 2 of 3 in the groups.

    Latest results are K9 Hornet is still leading the way, WatfordÉire has dropped a point behind and is in close second.

    Before Holland played Austria, K9 did have the highest goal difference at 14 points.

    Big day tomorrow. Can Sweden do BushyOrn and Sahorn a favour and win emphatically to Slovakia, will Scotland upset the In-Ger-Land faithful. All still to play for.

    With the weekends games just gone, some could argue the most enjoyable game of the Euros so far with two giants in Germany and Portugal showcasing a 6 goal thriller. Leaving group F wide open with all to play in Matchday 3 of 3.

    Unfortunately it didn't help the only player Davy Crockett with one of them teams, although some consolation can come in the Scots getting a draw on Friday.

    Leading the way won't come as a shock, K9 is still holding on to the top spot, no moccasin's and glass mountains in sight.

    Closing that gap is BushyOrn rising up into third. Otter and Sahorn are hot on the leading packs tail with Austria, Belgium and Holland playing tonight. If all three win and comfortably Knight GT would jump up the table quicker than Poulsen's goal last Thursday.

    They were the dark horses by a lot of pundits. Was a big differential in this table though, could of been great.
    Looking at your selection, it feels like half are from an Attenbourgh documentary.
