The only 7pm kick-off saw the Czech Republic beat Liechtenstein 2-0. This gives a max to EPY, FunkmasterT, Hibs-kid-2007, neilwatson, stevenjjhill, Terrence Chant and Thebenster.
A single 7:15 kick-off as well: Denmark's 2-0 win over Cyprus was worth 5 points to: DDRickyDD, digiremote, DimbleBurbleby, Henderson, kwscott, Realale, taurus_67, Tusk0312, Watcher #1 and yakutz. Everyone else scored 2 points in this match.
4 players went for a 1-0 Slovenia win in Estonia: digiremote, Henderson, Phylan78 and Potholderz. 15 other players scored 2 points
5 players got a max from Russia's 1-0 win in the FYR Macedonia: Hayden, neilwatson, Simon1984, stevenjjhill and uls2000. 23 others got 2 points this time
No-one went for the Netherlands to beat Sweden 4-1 but 36 players did score 2 points.
6 players went for Moldova to win 2-0 in San Marino: Apple_Crumble, DimbleBurbleby, ianincleveland, Potholderz, Super Dog Man and uls2000. 30 others got 2 points
A bit success was the 1-1 draw between Slovakia and the Republic of Ireland with 12 players get that spot on: Apple_Crumble, DimbleBurbleby, Hayden, ianincleveland, neilwatson, Phylan78, Potholderz, Psycho_Ned, Sattrega, Terrence Chant, Tusk0312 and Watcher #1. 5 other players went for a draw.
Again no-one went for teh Swiss to win 4-1 but 32 players did score 2 points.
Lots of late goals in Belgium's 4-4 draw with Austria resulted in no ubers, but 12 players did get 2 points for going for a draw.
More successful was Greece's 2-1 win over Israel. Alfie2008, Apple_Crumble, beth84, digiremote, Hayden, kwscott, Potholderz, Terrence Chant and WoodsMonk all scored maximum points. 13 others scored 2 points.
You seem to have missed me out in the round up.
I got 5 points in the Denmark-Cyprus game, Estonia-Slovenia, Slovakia- Ireland Republic,Greece- Israel
I have got 34 points overall.
Just in case I forget my predictions for the two games between now and the next lot of full fixtures.
Finland 3-0 San Marino
Croatia 4-0 Malta
Both on the 17th November 2010.
Portugal's 3-1 uber win in Iceland was a very nice way to finish the evening for Apple_Crumble, DimbleBurbleby, FunkmasterT, ianincleveland, Phylan78, taurus_67, Tusk0312 and will2510.
if you check mine Dimble you will see i inserted the Finland game in my list and predicted 2-1:)
Thanks for pointing that out Ian - I had actually missed that one. I wrote a program that reads the predictions from the forum and it initially looks for predicted scores separated by a "-" or a "v" and if it doesn't find any it looks for the scores listed after the country names. It also tells me how many predictions each player has made so it should be easier to spot a missed game. Unfortunately all of your predictions except for this one used a "-" but for this match said Finland 1=2 Hungary. So the program missed it and because so many people missed the Finland game I never re-checked. I have updated the data and sent it on to TC.
It just goes to show it is worth checking - and apologies to those affected by the problems I was encountering in reading the predictions. A lot of these were down to people spelling Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan incorrectly (or copying and pasting someone who had spelt them incorrectly) or simply using the name Ireland (the program isn't that complicated to know which Ireland is involved in which game). The program expects to find 2 countries on each line - otherwise it ignores the line (so if a country is spelt wrong it will only see one country and not treat it as a prediction). I do have a series of aliases setup so that Holland and Netherlands are seen as the same country for example (and it generally looks at the first 4 or 5 characters in a country's name to wotk out what the country should be). If the program ignores a prediction it throws out the predictions for each subsequent match. I will try and improve the robustness each round and hopefully I have all of the predictions so far (as I do go back and check if a player shows as not predicting every match).

I got 5 points in the Denmark-Cyprus game, Estonia-Slovenia, Slovakia- Ireland Republic,Greece- Israel
I have got 34 points overall.
Apple_Crumble was the only player to go for a draw between England and Montenegro - but as he went for a 1-1 draw only scores 2 points.
5 players went for France to beat Luexmbourg 2-0: beth84, digiremote, Faxy Fowler, FunkmasterT and kwscott. Everyone else scored 2 points.
No-one went for Spain to win 3-2 in Scotland, so everyone got 2 points from that match
Apologies to -Bandit- I had missed some of your predictions in the earlier write ups - you got maxes for the wins for Germany, Moldova and Greece.
Further apologies to basdfg, as you pointed out I missed your predictions too. You scored maxes in the games in Denmark, Estonia, Greece and Slovakia
Also fab got the Czech Republic's 2-0 win spot on
Sorry for that guys

Another reason for not letting these minnows in the tournament
Finland 3-0 San Marino
Croatia 4-1 Malta
Croatia 3-0 Malta
Croatia 3-0 Malta
Will this count in the prediction league as they where given the result rather than actually winning 3-0
Croatia 3-1 Malta
Croatia 3 Malta 1
Croatia 2-0 Malta
Croatia 4-0 Malta
Finland 2-0 San Marino
Croatia 2-0 Malta
