Morning team! Bit of housekeeping to begin with...
England and Scotland drawing 0-0 got me to thinking about the extra predictions for the home nations' matches. There isn't a prize for predicting 'no scorer' or 'no time of first goal' but you're welcome to predict a 0-0 and also guess scorers and goal times. Think of thoses as separate from the main game.
Also with the 'time of first goal' bit, to keep it simple we're just going with whatever number is published on the BBC website. Minute 42 and the 42nd minute, for example; not the same thing, are they?
And a word on the knockout stages now they're almost here. It could get very convoluted very quickly with extra time and pens so we'll be awarding points based on what the score is after 90 minutes. If a team has won at that stage then it'll work the same as the group stage - 1 point for guessing the outcome and another for the correct score. If you're predicting a draw after 90 minutes, then put a star next to, or highlight in bold the team you think will progress.
Hope that all makes sense but give me a shout if not.
Round 2 results to follow...
