Stay at Wembley (6/22)

Great header but great unis as well

Two teams playing in Great Britain (technically, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) saw different results.  D1-England had just five shots but protected an early goal to beat D4-Czech Rep, 1-0, to win Group D and get to stay at home in Wembley Stadium for their Round of 16 match.  CZE, who qualified yesterday, fell to 3rd in the group as D2-Croatia scored twice in the second half to beat home team D3-Scotland, 3-1, and the three goals was enough to overtake CZE on goal differential for 2nd.  SCO was the last team to score a goal.

37 got CRO right and 47 got ENG.  All 49 had ENG making the knockout stage while 46 had CRO and 13 had CZE.  36 got both matches correct while Saharm17 missed both.  Eleven got all 3 Group D teams in the R16 while Fantasy only got one.  Overall, ten got the full 11 points while Fantasy only got 4.  Forza Roma is our new leader with 50 pts with Slyelf now 2nd (49) and FrankfromSeattle 3rd (48).  Wolverine1 joins my Glory to the Heroes in last with 36 pts.

Four teams are left to be decided (E2-Sweden and F3-France have qualified) and C2-Ukraine is now on the cutoff for 3rd place teams and B2-Finland in dire straights.  Both need help and worse GD from other teams.  All 6 non-qualified teams in Groups E & F control their own destinies (win and they're in).  E1-Spain qualifies with another tie as long as E3-Poland do not win.  F2-Portugal qualifies with a two-goal loss or better as long as F1-Hungary doesn't beat F4-Germany, otherwise if POR loses and HUN wins, GER takes 3rd (who need to win tiebreaker to be one of the best 4 3rd place teams) via its win over POR.  Lots of fun left!
