Virtually decided on Friday with a 19pt difference setting Big Bird on his way to the top scorer (non-)prize. yd only got 1 of the 2 required exact scores after that! Very unlucky as it was easily the 3rd top score of the weekend.

11-0

Straightforward wipeout

Well played Blah ... not difficult to beat, though.
I achieved an all time low of three wrong predictions out of 3.

[jimmy ching]

I squirmed that one then. Italy were 10 up at one point, then 2 up until the dying seconds. Ireland tried but blew it. I thought I'd lost. I must reread the scoring system.

I thought so!
