THE WRAP UP…

So there it is…after a tight,nerve shredding 120 minutes and a dreaded penalty shootout it was the usual heartbreak for England with the resurgent Italians just edging it.

But enough about the football onto the more important stuff…where is the money going?

WINNER

It’s congratulations to Italy and @adyemgee … £65 is on its way!

RUNNER UP

Commiserations to England and @gray_1x … £25 will help soften the blow

And now to the smaller prizes which didn’t really change much after the group stages (although England did their best to sneak in the fastest goal with the quickest ever scored in a euro final!) but here they are :-

QUICKEST GOAL

This one went to Sweden (1 min 22 secs!) and @tribod gets the £5 for that

….

QUICKEST BOOKING

This one went to Austria (2 mins!) and @rickinyorkshire benefits to the tune of £5 because of it

….

WORST TEAM IN GROUP STAGES

A terrible Turkey side just got in with this so @jennorocks claims the £5 here

….

HIGHEST SCORING TEAM IN GROUP STAGES

The entertaining Netherlands took this one with 8 scored and thus scoring £5 for @shrimp3r

….

MOST BOOKINGS IN A GAME

This one went to the dirty Dragons from Wales and slide tackles the £5 into @thegreatcubbio ‘s wallet

….

LATEST GOAL IN A GAME

This one went to the never say die Dragons from Wales so yet again swells the coffers of @thegreatcubbio to the tune of £5

…. …. …. ….

And that my friends is that,I’ve double checked every category and all 51 matches and I’ll hopefully get all paid out tonight if PayPal plays nicely.

In the end it didn’t come home for England but a little cash came back for some of you,congrats to those that did get something and commiserations to those that didn’t.

It’s just left for me to thank everyone for taking part and maybe see you in Qatar for #SparkysWorldCup22 ?

THE FINAL!!

It’s finally here….24 teams and 50 games have got us to this point,one all or nothing game to decided the winner of Euro2020 and #SparkysEuros21 !

Finals are not known for their early goals or loads of bookings so I think most of the categories will stay the same (bold prediction I know!) so really only the two big cash prizes up for grabs tonight I reckon and it’s gonna be a close battle between Italy for @Adyemgee and England for @Gray_1x .

I’m not sure whether you knew but this but it’s England’s first final since 1966 but they are on a strong run of form and will have a huge crowd advantage at Wembley willing them on to glory. Italy have perhaps been the form team of the competition and come through a much stronger bracket whilst taking their unbeaten run to 33 matches!

Neither team are conceding many so maybe just one goal wins this tonight?

On a more important note,I’ll double check everything again tomorrow,and payout all the winnings in the evening…KERCHIIIING!!
