World Cup Last 16
France - 2 wins 1 draw, quality team who have yet to really get going.
Argentina - 1 win 1 draw, lucky to scrape through but they have Messi.
Uraguay - 3 wins, great defence and Suarez, one to avoid.
Portugal - 1 win 2 draws, they've got Ronaldo so will always have a chance.
Spain - 1 win 2 draws, not at their best but will still be hard to beat.
Russia - 2 wins, badly beaten by Uruguay, home crowd won't be enough.
Croatia - 3 wins, looking very good so far just lacking a top quality striker.
Denmark - 1 win 2 draws, looking like one of the weakest teams through.
Brazil - 2 wins 1 draw, not the best team but have some top quality individuals who can win a game on their own.
Mexico - 2 wins, looked great in the first 2 games but thrashed by Sweden.
Belgium - 3 wins, top squad if they all perform but always get the feeling they will bottle it?
Japan - 1 win 1 draw, helped by playing 87 minutes against Colombia against 10 men, lucky to get through
Sweden - 2 wins, unlucky to lose to Germany but were very good against Mexico.
Switzerland - 1 win 2 draws, not impressed with the Swiss but keep getting results, although thanks to dodgy V.A.R in the Serbia game.
Colombia - 2 wins, unlucky against Japan but have been good in the last 2, will be hard to beat.
England - 2 wins, hopefully Harry Kane won't get injured.
Argentina - 1 win 1 draw, lucky to scrape through but they have Messi.
Uraguay - 3 wins, great defence and Suarez, one to avoid.
Portugal - 1 win 2 draws, they've got Ronaldo so will always have a chance.

World Cup 2018 Predictions (Part 1)
The World Cup is here again, so here is the World Cup predictions competition.
Usual predictions rules - 3 Points for a correct score, 1 Point for a correct result.
Overall winner will be decided on the total points at the end of the competition (64 Games).
Extra rules for the knockout stages:
To stop all confusion and arguments the prediction will be the score at the end of normal time (90 minutes + injury time).
Extra time and Penalties will not count.
So if a game finishes 0-0 and goes into extra time and one team has 3 players sent off and lose 7-0 it will count as a 0-0 draw, Hopefully that makes sense :)
All welcome to join in, plenty of time to catch up if you miss a few games.
Here's a list of the first round of games in the 2018 tournament.
Will post the rest in stages a few days before they are played.
These games are being played between Thursday 14th June to Tuesday 19th June
Russia v Saudi Arabia
Egypt v Uraguay
Morocco v Iran
Portugal v Spain
France v Australia
Argentina v Iceland
Peru v Denmark
Croatia v Nigeria
Costa Rica v Serbia
Germany v Mexico
Brazil v Switzerland
Sweden v South Korea
Belgium v Panama
Tunisia v England
Poland v Senegal
Colombia v Japan

Fantasy Football
To complete the info from the 2017/18 season here was the final table from the Telegraph Fantasy Football version of the NBTF League.
Congratulations to Richard with his team RR5 who led from the start and held on to win this, and finish in the Top 100 :)
I had a very poor year with none of my teams even making the Top 1000, after 2 years of having multiple teams near the top :(
Thanks to all the others who played - 88 teams from 24 different players (Alexandre, Allan, Billy, Colin, Darren, David, Jake, James, John, Lance, Leslie, Matt, Michael, Mike, Nicola, Paul F, Paul M, Richard, Rob, Ryan, Simon, Sue, Terry and Me)
Here is the medal won by Richard.
He kindly said I could keep it, as I had not claimed the one I won in his league last season .. thanks Rick :)
Depending on the prices I might go big next season?
I did have 17 teams this season but usually go with about 30.
In previous seasons there was usually a good offer near to the season start, but last year it was expensive even though the prizes seem to get less every year? (maybe they are trying to kill this off?)
