Yep. I had too many players playing Celtic instead of premier league matches in midweek.

That's the first time I've been on top. Not sure how long it will last, but I certainly am enjoying it.

Ives picked Arsenal to finish 7th. What alternate universe is he living in. It's definitely possible that one of the top 4 could drop out of those spots, but two of them? And one as far as 7th. (I wonder how he feels about that after the Gunners put six past Everton).

Down 1 position from last year, but with over 200 fewer points. I think I'm definitely going backwards.

DR's lost has killed the last, slim hope of my picks performing well. Kudos to the Netherlands.

I too have been participating less, but I'm hanging on because I love it so much. I can help out with some usability testing should it come to that.

So yeah, I'm playing the Falcons losing card early.

I fielded one, but I'm just experimenting with it this time round. I could set up a group if there's any interest.

But hey, go ahead. Bet the farm on Cronaldo and Adebayor, and take the rest of the summer off. You deserve it. I didn't know Barcelona or Inter players were good for points here!

Up until this last round of games, I was picking a Netherlands/Portugal final... oops. As much as I'd like to see the Turks advance to continue their run, I can't see them overcoming the Germans with almost half their team suspended or injured. Russia v. Spain is a harder call. It's the tournament's early golden boy, Villa, versus what have you done for me lately, Arshavin. This should be a nice game of attacking football. I'm tipping Spain since they got over their Italian mental block in the quarters. As for the final? Espana!

Less than 70 points separate the top team, AFC Holden, from the bottom, turker team. I'd post a full table, but I don't have the technical chops to make it work right, so clicky the linky to see the standings.

Soccernet seems to have most of the Euro players (as I was browsing away today). Maybe someone with more in-depth knowledge could take a gander.
posted by trox at 10:53 PM on May 21
Was busy watching the game. The best news I had out of it was winning Spofi's CL Fantasy league. That and watching three of my least favorite players bottle it in some way or another. Congrats to Man U... worthy champs as much as it galls me to say it.

Talk about going backwards each week. I picked the wrong weeks to have Adebayor as my captain.
