Please say you're taking the Mick, you're top!* I know that the UEFA website itself isn't the best at match previews and so forth, so I'd suggest that Sky Sports is your best bet for following the tournament hour-by-hour.

BTW A/L, you're now 2nd after tonight's game

* And 7th out of all England-based players!

SECOND???

How the hell did that happen??? I'd forgotten the competition had started!

I demand my bottom place back

 

[Topper]

First???????....... That just cannot be correct I only had 12 points when I logged in earlier and the average was 18, so I changed my captain, is that what has created this unheard of situation. Does it not work like the Premier league one? are you able to alter your line-up mid flow as it were (ugh sounds messy dunnit) then get retrospective points?

 

[Salty25]

It's because when you checked, the scores from yesterday's games (Sweden 5-1 Belarus and Italy 0-0 Serbia) hadn't been processed within the fantasy game at that point.

 

[Topper]

I 'think' I understand

Just give me a link to the up and coming games as I cannot find them anywhere

 

[Salty25]

That's ok. I will (as always) post the matches of the next Matchday prior to the deadline, and you can find the full schedule here: _http://en.u21fantasy.uefa.com/M/help.mc?category=deadlines

​

England kicked off the Championships with a hard fought 2-1 win against Finland, and while the much anticipated matches between Germany & Spain and Italy & Serbia both ended in 0-0 stalemates, the first rising star was wearing Swedish yellow – Marcus Berg scored a hat-trick and could have had more as Sweden came from behind to eventually thrash Belarus 5-1 in Malmo.

The largely unknown squads have presented SupaLiga’s managers with a real challenge. Topper has taken the initiative, topping the table with his Tossers after Matchday 1.

Analoguesat, F1 SupaLiga regular but international wooden spoon specialist on the football scene, is currently 2nd. Norm’s Scozia Non C'e have started the tournament in good form, they occupy 3rd place. Premier League SupaLiga champion mhku has so far completely failed to bring his domestic success onto the international stage – It’s definitely not hot at the bottom!

And finally, our little league is 23rd out of a total 377 leagues in the ‘leagues of leagues’. Come on lads!

England secured a semi final place with a magnificent 2-0 over Spain in Gothenburg. That combined with Germany’s earlier victory against Finland on Thursday means that Finland are out and Spain must beat Finland and England help them by defeating Germany on Monday night. Group A is on a knife-edge after Italy beat hosts Sweden 2-1 and supposed wiping boys Belarus held Serbia to a no score draw. All teams could yet qualify on Tuesday when Serbia face Sweden and Belarus take on Italy.

In SupaLiga, Topper is holding on to top spot for now, but the Tossers are only just ahead of Norm’s Scozia squad and my Kanyes. I recorded the top score on Matchday 2 with 56pts.

Analoguesat and his Scotsat team have dropped from 2nd to 4th, while reigning PL SupaLiga champion mhku is still languishing in 8th. S_G turned up late and proceeded to score 44pts, 3rd highest on MD2 – good things may yet come to those who wait, it would seem.

SupaLiga is now 69th in the 'league of leagues', so everyone should pat themselves on the back

Monday and Tuesday saw the final group matches take place. Spain, pre-tournament favourites, were eliminated despite beating Finland 2-0 due to the 1-1 draw between England and Germany which assured England of top place in Group B. In Group A there was everything still to play for as every team still had a chance to qualify. Sweden brushed Serbia aside three goals to one, with Marcus Berg adding two more goals to his hattrick against Belarus. Italy toiled against Belarus, and at one point were behind, but it ended well when 15 minutes from the end Robert Acquafresca scored to win the game and the group. England play hosts Sweden, and Italy face Germany in the semis on Friday.

Topper has taken a firm grip on proceedings, as the Tossers look like hard-on favourites with a 12pt lead over my Laboratoire Kanye team going into the knock-out stage.

I was 5pts shy of Topper's score of 59 on Matchday 3, but I still went up to 2nd and above Norm's Scozia Non C'e. Pazinho goes up to 4th and may feel he still has a chance. S_G, despite being a Matchday late, is already up to 7th and will be targeting his father's 6th place from now until the final.

And finally, our little league is up to dizzy heights of 28th in the 'league of leagues' ranking - I am very impressed ;)​

 

[mhku]

The last game was the first chance I've had to look at my team since choosing it - 61pts wasn't bad Not enough for top 3 though ;)
