It’s a four-way tie

The thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football.

The UEFA mega-brains have decided that this year’s Euro Cup is to be a rematch of the English versus the Spanish Armada. So I made a picture of English coach Gareth Southgate giving his own Tilbury speech while the battle rages behind him1. You’re welcome.
Not a lot has changed in the leader board, but Ozgur T’s hopes of winning are fading. There is a 4-way tie for first place, and 3 of those correctly picked ENG and ESP as the finalists. Alas, Ozgur T did not, so there is no way that he can be the winner.
| Rank | Name | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anil K | 70 |
| 1 | Ozgur T | 70 |
| 1 | Richard H | 70 |
| 1 | Yukari S | 70 |
| 2 | Seanie G | 68 |
| 3 | Cindy B | 65 |
| 4 | Allan Y | 64 |
| 4 | Nick LD | 64 |
| 5 | Dario P2 | 62 |

We need to say goodbye to a few more participants who can’t improve on their score as they didn’t pick either ESP or ENG in the final. Heidi VW, Dario P1, Ken K, Sara+Milton and Sayaka T are officially done. It was great while it lasted. See you next time, I hope.
The Newbies and Vets, are almost tied again 57.7 to 57.3. Who cares, right?
The final update will come out after the final and I’ll calculate the winnings. Enjoy the game2.
- Actually, a suit of armour would be an improvement on the dweebish dad-shirts he wears to the matches. I am no fashionista (that’s for sure) but, come on, he needs to sharpen up. ↩︎
- There is no way ENG can win, IMHO, unless they succeed in boring ESP into a false sense of security and then sneaking in an amazing goal at the last second (like they did to poor NED). ↩︎

The horse looks bored. The armour should have a more fearsome expression?
