MD5 McUEFA U21: (Deadline 30Jun 20:30 CET)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It's ♫ The Final Countdown ♫ for Europe (see what I did there? ) as Portugal and Sweden meet in the final.

The Final

In fantasy terms, knowing the format of these tournaments, I'm pretty sure the medal placings are secure. It's very difficult to make up ground when we all have (potentially) the same teams. :|

Current standings:

1. 175 points - Blood Brothers (Mav787)
2. 157 points - DEngland (Johnny Rev 7.0)
3. 136 points - Malice Meow FC (catsncheese)

Though I'm sure they'll be a few sniffing around Cats' behind and attempting to get on the medal podium. :innocent:

A wiser man than me would say wait for the team sheets (which I'll post) 60mins before kick-off. Then make your transfers. You only need 11/12 players, but by all means make your transfer plans in advance.

Good luck all! Except the bastard who's beating me. :von:

In reality? Yes, as I'm a firm believer in everything's eventual. But this is fantasy. So indulge me one more trick up my sleeve. :wink:

Have made my transfers and then realised that, as a mid-table nobody, there was no point in hedging my bets. I should have gone all or nothing to really put a bit of pressure on the top three. :roll:

So all my eggs are in the one basket but will it turn out to be the right one?

(I'm baiting Johnny into picking 9 Swedes so it maximises his chances of catching me). :twisted:

Haha! You sound like Mr Gray attempting to get Jonesey to open the door of his mind office in Stephen King's Dreamcatcher. :lol:

All will be revealed in less than ten minutes. :wink:

If Sweden win 1-0 from a Guidetti goal I reckon Johnny beats me again.

Congrats to Mav. :notworthy:

I think the 0-0 after extra time and everyone getting pretty much the same points for the game shows up the flawed format. Too much money, too many transfers, too many from one team.

Umm... it's tournament football. How else do we choose when we get to the final? :lol:

Enjoy your moment in the sun and stop being so negative. :wink:

I'll update the final scores tomorrow when we get all the GSs, RBs etc., confirmed.

Congrats once again. :notworthy:

Well done to the top three and thanks to the organisers.
It helped to while away a fortnight of the close season, even though I haven't seen a seconds of the action and was generally a match day behind.
Europa League qualifiers start for teams up here on Thursday - bring on the new season !
