Albert has missed the start so unlike him must be something up

[Biggin]

Ok so we have had 5 responses so far and all going for result at 120mins if extra is involved so democracy rules that is:-

Score after 120mins if extra time is played

Well done to Doreen1 (or maybe her husband :lol: ) for bringing up the point

[doreen1]

Himself agrees 120 minutes result, but will go with the flow 👍🏻

[Albert]

I agree that we should avoid the penalty shoot out.
I'd go for the final score at the end of 120 minutes. Not really bothered either way, but that's my vote.

[Angleseyite]

Good Question from Doreen 1 re round of 16  does the score apply to 90 mins or extra time or penalty shoot out. I had not thought about this so lets what everyone thinks.

My first thought are that we eliminate Penalty shoot outs as we are working on actual scores  and ant tie that is decided by a penalty shoot out shows score after extra time then the shoot out score

So for me that leaves the 90/120 min score and personally don't have any real preference so lets see what others think.

I agree score at the end of the match, not including penalty shootouts

2 Doreen 1         39

Low scoring in the last 3 games for our predictions so no change in the positions just an increase in the points and Andy moving closer to that 2nd spot

1 Bolton 41
2 Doreen1 39
3 Andy 38
4 Biggin 35
4 John 35
6 Albert 23
7 Angleseyite 19

Between the end of round 3 and the round of 16 as far as I can see there is 1 clear day therefore I think I will post the games as soon as we know them and I will just keep updating the post until complete
The choice will be yours as to wether you predict as they come or wait until all games are posted
