Euro Predictio 2024: Final Results

Greetings amigos,

As the final fragment of confetti settled on the Berlin turf and the clouds of celebratory dry ice faded into the night sky, the fifth Predictio Euro Championship came to a close. Mr O'Callaghan had what looked to be an unassailable advantage going into the finale and so it proved. Adam's final flurry was to predict that Italy would face England in the final rather than Spain, a truly audacious move which, had it come off, would have no doubt raised suspicions of insider knowledge; as it was, his prediction was deemed valid, and even if it was taken as null and void, he still would have topped the table on account of his superior spot-ons record versus his nearest challenger, Mr Stewart-Jones. As such it is Mr O'Callaghan who lifts the Predictio Euro Championship 2024 trophy - massive congratulations amigo! In doing so Adam joins Mr Raistrick in the elite club of having won the tournament on two occasions. Commiserations to Mr Stewart-Jones, who in time may come to take satisfaction from his runner-up spot being his best performance in the competition since 2008, but in the immediate aftermath he will no doubt be smarting from missing the chance to win the only trophy to have evaded him during his Predictio career thus far.

May I take this opportunity to again congratulate Mr O'Callaghan and to thank all managers for participating in the tournament. Managers have a month's rest before Predictio XXI gets underway during the weekend of 17th and 18th August.

Take it easy,

Danny

Euro Predictio 2024: Semi-Finals Results

Greetings amigos,

Mr O'Callaghan shook off the controversy of the quarter-final miscount by massing an impressive 10 point haul from the semi-finals. As Ollie Watkins' shot hit the back of the net, all Englishmen bar Mr Stewart-Jones leapt with joy - had the game finished 1-1, SJ would be going into the final game at the top of the table; as it was, Adam has a four point advantage as we head into tomorrow's final. Elsewhere Mr West was the performer of the round as he extracted all 12 points available from the two matches, jumping to third place as a result - a very impressive effort. To complete the picture, Mr McClay scored 9 points, Mr Crinnion 6, Mr Raistrick 3 and my all-or-nothing strategy of predicting two goalless games resulting in penalties left me with... nothing.

Any mistakes let me know, fixture to follow.

Take it easy,

Euro Predictio 2024: Quarter-Finals Results - UPDATE!

HOLD ON A SECOND!! Error made! Updated picture below...

Extreme drama here!! Following a recount Mr O'Callaghan is stripped of his erroneous spot-on from the Spain v Germany game (which as SJ correctly flagged, finished 1-1 after 90 mins) whilst Mr Stewart-Jones gains a spot-on from the same fixture. All of which means the two managers are neck and neck going into the semi-finals!! Other managers' tallies have also been updated, but they are mere footnotes on the story that is unfolding - it's a 2 man showdown going into the final week of the tournament!

My apologies to the organising committee of Mr O'Callaghan's victory parade (hold fire for now!) and to Mr Stewart-Jones for the miscount.

Take it easy,

Danny

Euro Predictio 2024: Quarter-Finals Results

Greetings amigos,

Provisional arrangements have been made for Mr O'Callaghan's victory parade, as he top scored with 9 points, including calling England's 1-1 draw followed by a penalty shoot-out victory. Adam leads by 6 points going into the final 3 games, which is an extremely handy advantage to have with mere strides of the race left to run. Ad will be checking his blind spot a little as Mr Stewart-Jones matched his tally to move into second spot, including a particularly champagne 8 point haul from the goalless Portgual v France encounter, a feat also achieved by Mr Crinnion within his score of the same magnitude. To complete the picture, I scored 6 points, Mr West and Mr Raistrick 5 and Mr Moore 2.

Euro Predictio 2024: Round of 16 Results

Greetings amigos,

Mr O'Callaghan is in pole position to regain the trophy he won back in 2008, as a solid 6 point haul saw him increase his lead at the top of the table to 5 points, a very handy advantage as we enter the final seven games of the tournament. The scoring was pretty consistent across the board, with several managers correctly predicting Germany's 2-0 triumph over Denmark and no one boosting their scores through penalties wildcards. Mr Stewart-Jones matched Adam's pace with 6 points, I scored 5, Mr West 4, Mr Crinnion 3 and Mr Raistrick 2.

Euro Predictio 2024: Group Stage Round 3 Results

Greetings amigos,

The final round of group stage matches saw some surprising results and a distinct lack of goals, which resulted in a very low scoring round. Current leader Mr O'Callaghan left the door ajar scoring 2 points, which enabled the chasing pack to claw back a bit of ground, as Mr Stewart-Jones top scored with 7, Mr Raistrick and Mr Crinnion 4 and I scored 3. Mr Moore had the lowest score of participating managers with 1 point.

Euro Predictio 2024: Group Stage Round 2 Results

Greetings amigos,

Mr O'Callaghan demonstrated the type of form that won him Euro Predictio 2008 as he top scored with a mightily impressive 14 points (including 4 spot-ons) to cement his position at the top of the standings. Ad has a 5 point lead over myself (9) followed Mr Raistrick (6) another 2 points back as things stand. Mr West got his tournament well and truly up and running with an eye-catching 12 point haul, whilst Mr Stewart-Jones also put in a solid effort scoring 9 points. To complete the picture, Mr Moore scored 7 and Mr Crinnion scored 4. Mr McClay and Mr Luke look to be saving themselves for the knockout phase.
