Well done to Andy (very quick), Jim and Jan who all spotted Russia scoring 4 goals in the first match and tried to claim the prize before I clarified that it needs to be your team. (But I can see some fun in that so maybe next time - anyone can claim).
But before Belgium scored their 5 or England their 6, Lex had claimed for Russia's 4 goals and wins
£9 for First team to score 4 goals in a match.
The goals have been going in and adding up. By the time England kicked off we were still a bit short of the 79th goal but Kane's team scored 6 - did they manage to get to 79 for Christine - not quite. So was Karen's Panama's single goal the 79th - still not quite - number 78. So the next match Darren's Japan V Jan's Senegal who would clinch it? Anyone remember who scored first? It was Mane for Senegal so Jan win's the £9 for the team which scores the 79th goal of the tournament.
So scrabble scores - my starter (for not even 10) is Salah - the only scorer for Egypt a mere 8 points - rubbish. A good job we have a few on the ball - who have already staked their claim - 21 is current scores topping the table.
But I am going to stake my ridiculous claim for earliest goal of the second half at 73 minutes! Tuesday 19th June Russia V Egypt.
Egypt has proudly earned 5 yellow cards so far (er that will be it then), so I am claiming that one too.
I also claim a -4 goal difference. Still working out the number of players!!??😖
Look forward to hearing from you all
