Ok so we're down to the nitty gritty. Tournament football gets "proper" now the groups have been decided!
We might be saying goodbye to 8 teams but in this competition - whilst you might be out, none of you are "out out" yet. That's because we will be doing a few random beer giveaways via a random teaser question. Whoever answers correctly will then be invited to "spin the wheel" to win some beer(s).
Keeps everyone interested - even those like Aldbourne Red, who drew the heroic North Macedonia. Horlock (the Instant Win Winner), with Finland who started with a win and DV Canio's Hungary - where at one point he could have been scoffing the Goulash, in a Round of 16 nail biter v England! I wonder what the Magyar would've made of that?!
Back to the competition. I've finally got round to putting a proper "Tournament Tree" as well as some extras if you have nothing to do tomorrow, after the "Power v Standing" Judgement (seeing as there is no footy for at least another 24hrs). Feel free to have a browse but the tab you really want to look at is the "Top 16" one. Especially if you're still involved in the sweepstake main prize.
There's an individual PDF to view the Round of 16 too, which will also be updated along with the spreadsheet as we go along.

NB:
Berni, I will drop you a DM tomorrow afternoon and sort the difference on your 2nd payment. Just been busier than I anticipated. Arthur Fowler is nowhere near the donation kitty - he doesn't have PayPal
Horlock, I've DM'd you in regard to details, etc
