Poland 1 - 1 Portugal , Portugal wins after penalties
| 1 | Ste117 | 60 | | 2 | Dippofix | 50 | | 2 | Ollfardh | 50 | | 4 | AbhishekLFC | 20 | | 5 | Ian Butler | 10 | | 5 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 10 |
Ste117 is the first with 60 points. All six participants scored points.
Standings:
| 1 | AbhishekLFC | 540 | | 2 | Dippofix | 535 | | 3 | Luxemburger | 480 | | 4 | Ollfardh | 475 | | 5 | Ste117 | 455 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 315 | | 6 | weirdskyfan64 | 315 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | cunego59 | 210 | | 11 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 12 | Ian Butler | 185 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | MARSUPILAMI | 30 | | 16 | Smowz | 30 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 30 |
Suddenly it's AbhishekLFC and Dippofix to battle for the lead. Luxemburger's non-prediction is not enough to drop him to fourth, but Ollfardh is right on his tale now.
Tomorrow's match:  -

Wales 3 - 1 Belgium
| 1 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 40 | | 1 | Ollfardh | 40 | | 1 | Ste117 | 40 | | 4 | Luxemburger | 30 | | 4 | weirdskyfan64 | 30 | | 6 | AbhishekLFC | 20 | | 6 | Dippofix | 20 | | 8 | Ian Butler | 0 |
Only Ian Butler had a Belgian victory (who must feel so sad now). Luis Leon Sanchez, Ollfardh (Belgian) and Ste117 got the most points today, 40 to be precise.
Standings:
| 1 | AbhishekLFC | 560 | | 2 | Dippofix | 555 | | 3 | Ollfardh | 515 | | 4 | Luxemburger | 510 | | 5 | Ste117 | 495 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 355 | | 7 | weirdskyfan64 | 345 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | cunego59 | 210 | | 11 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 12 | Ian Butler | 185 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | MARSUPILAMI | 30 | | 16 | Smowz | 30 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 30 |
Dippofix does in fact maintain safe distance, it's still five points behind AbhishekLFC. Ollfardh moves into third ahead of Luxemburger, and Ste117 joins the battle for third.
The third quarter final, and arguably the biggest one:  -

Germany 1 - 1 Italy , Germany wins after penalties
| 1 | AbhishekLFC | 20 | | 1 | Dippofix | 20 | | 1 | Ian Butler | 20 | | 1 | SSJ2Luigi | 20 | | 1 | weirdskyfan64 | 20 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 10 | | 6 | Luxemburger | 10 | | 6 | Ste117 | 10 | | 9 | Ollfardh | 0 |
Very spread field with people going for either Germany or Italy. Only 20 points as maximum score, with 5 people achieving it: AbhishekLFC and Dippofix amongst them. Joining them are Ian Butler, SSJ2Luigi and weirdskyfan64
Standings:
| 1 | AbhishekLFC | 580 | | 2 | Dippofix | 575 | | 3 | Luxemburger | 540 | | 4 | Ollfardh | 515 | | 5 | Ste117 | 505 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 365 | | 6 | weirdskyfan64 | 365 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | cunego59 | 210 | | 11 | Ian Butler | 205 | | 12 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 50 | | 17 | MARSUPILAMI | 30 | | 17 | Smowz | 30 |
And the gap between AbhishekLFC and Dippofix is still five points! The tension is rising.
Note that Luxemburger got additional 20 points for the first quarter final due to an error
The last quarter final, afterwards we know the semi-finalists: hosts  versus surprise

No, not really. Don't care about that
Not sure why I predicted a win in this game since I predicted a loss in another pool |

France 5 - 2 Iceland
| 1 | Dippofix | 30 | | 1 | Ian Butler | 30 | | 1 | Luxemburger | 30 | | 1 | Ollfardh | 30 | | 1 | Ste117 | 30 | | 6 | AbhishekLFC | 10 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 10 | | 8 | MARSUPILAMI | 0 | | 8 | SSJ2Luigi | 0 | | 8 | weirdskyfan64 | 0 |
Again five winner this round, now with 30 points. Congratulations to Dippofix, Ian Butler, Luxemburger, Ollfardh and Ste117. Award for worst prediction of the tournament goes to MARSUPILAMI, who predicted 0 - 1000 to Iceland.
Bonus question 4: How many red cards (either direct or double yellow) will be handed out during the quarter finals.
Either the players were kind or the referees blind, but there haven't been any red cards during this stage of the tournament. The only to get it correct was Ste117, who therefore receives 25 bonus points.
Standings:
| 1 | Dippofix | 605 | | 2 | AbhishekLFC | 590 | | 3 | Luxemburger | 570 | | 4 | Ste117 | 560 | | 5 | Ollfardh | 545 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 375 | | 7 | weirdskyfan64 | 365 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | Ian Butler | 235 | | 11 | cunego59 | 210 | | 12 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 50 | | 17 | MARSUPILAMI | 30 | | 17 | Smowz | 30 |
And we have a lead change! Dippofix takes the lead from AbhishekLFC, the gap being fifteen points now. Luxemburger is still in third but feels the breath of Ste117 and Ollfardh in his neck. With 390 points still available everyone from Spilak23 upwards could technically still win the title.

Portugal 2 - 0 Wales
| 1 | Luxemburger | 20 | | 2 | Ollfardh | 10 | | 3 | AbhishekLFC | 0 | | 3 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 0 | | 3 | MARSUPILAMI | 0 |
Luxemburger the only one to predict Portugal to win and takes the win here, Ollfardh the only one else with points.
Standings:
| 1 | Dippofix | 605 | | 2 | AbhishekLFC | 590 | | 2 | Luxemburger | 590 | | 4 | Ste117 | 560 | | 5 | Ollfardh | 555 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 375 | | 7 | weirdskyfan64 | 365 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | Ian Butler | 235 | | 11 | cunego59 | 210 | | 12 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 50 | | 17 | MARSUPILAMI | 30 | | 17 | Smowz | 30 |
Dippofix still leads but now has two competitors behind him with the exact same amount of points: AbhishekLFC and Luxemburger
The one to face off Portugal in the final will be the winner of - . Get your predictions in!

Germany 0 - 2 France
| 1 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 30 | | 2 | MARSUPILAMI | 10 | | 2 | SSJ2Luigi | 10 | | 4 | AbhishekLFC | 0 | | 4 | Luxemburger | 0 | | 4 | Ollfardh | 0 | | 4 | Ste117 | 0 |
Everyone went with a German victory or a draw, except Luis Leon Sanchez. MARSUPILAMI and SSJ2Luigi are the others with points but both are at the bottom of the table (16/17)
Standings:
| 1 | Dippofix | 605 | | 2 | AbhishekLFC | 590 | | 2 | Luxemburger | 590 | | 4 | Ste117 | 560 | | 5 | Ollfardh | 555 | | 6 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 405 | | 7 | weirdskyfan64 | 365 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | Ian Butler | 235 | | 11 | cunego59 | 210 | | 12 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 60 | | 17 | MARSUPILAMI | 40 | | 18 | Smowz | 30 |
All points went to the backmarkers today so no changes at the top. Dippofix leads into the final ahead of AbhishekLFC/Luxemburger. Theoretically, 270 points are still available so even Ste117, Ollfardh, Luis Leon Sanchez and weirdskyfan64 could win this.

Quadruple points for this match, with the maximum score 120 points. Result after 90 minutes and specify the winner in case of a draw.
The answer to bonus question 5: Who will referee the UEFA Euro 2016 final? will probably come tomorrow as referee appointments are usually made public 48 hours before the match. I'll still accept answers/changes for this one until the announcement. Aditionally: bonus question 6: Who will be crowned man of the match in the final?. Deadline is the kick-off for the match, July 10 9PM.

Mark Clattenburg has been selected to referee the final, but no one guessed that so the standing remain as they were. I had some giggles at three people who named Velasco, Carballo or that Spanish dude, while he was send home after the round of 16

Portugal 0 - 0 France , Portugal wins after extra time 1 - 0
| 1 | Luxemburger | 120 | | 1 | Ollfardh | 120 | | 1 | weirdskyfan64 | 120 | | 4 | Dippofix | 20 | | 4 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 20 | | 4 | MARSUPILAMI | 20 | | 4 | Ste117 | 20 | | 8 | AbhishekLFC | 0 |
Wow, three people got this one exactly correct. Amazing! Luxemburger, Ollfardh and weirdskyfan64 should've played the lottery!
Provisional standings:
Spoiler | 1 | Luxemburger | 710 | | 2 | Ollfardh | 675 | | 3 | Dippofix | 625 | | 4 | AbhishekLFC | 590 | | 5 | Ste117 | 580 | | 6 | weirdskyfan64 | 485 | | 7 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 425 | | 8 | emre99 | 275 | | 9 | Spilak23 | 245 | | 10 | Ian Butler | 235 | | 11 | cunego59 | 210 | | 12 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | MARSUPILAMI | 60 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 60 | | 18 | Smowz | 30 |
The final decides a lot, thanks to the 120 points Luxemburger leads and Ollfardh makes a huge jump into second. Dippofix holds on to the final podium spot, where AbhishekLFC drops off because of 0 points, auch.
Bonus question 6: Who will be crowned man of the match in the final?
According to UEFA, Pepe was crowned man of the match. In an ultimate effort to gain the title, Ollfardh got this correct to earn 25 points, only 10 points behind the leader now. The first bonus question will decide it all.
Bonus question 1: Who will become European Champions?
In case you didn't know yet, Portugal became European Champions. Well, there's only one person who got it correct and receives the almighty 100 bonus points. And thanks to that he moved up a position. Who is it?
Spoiler | Ste117 | Germany | | Croatia14 | France | | Smowz | Germany | | Luxemburger | France | | AbhishekLFC | Germany | | Luis Leon Sanchez | France | | emre99 | Germany | | weirdskyfan64 | France | | cunego59 | France | | Roextro | Germany | | sutty68 | Wales | | The Schleck Fan | Germany | | Spilak23 | Portugal | | Dippofix | France | | Ollfardh | Germany | | Ian Butler | Germany | | MARSUPILAMI | | | SSJ2Luigi | |
Spilak23 gets the 100 points and jumps emre99 for eight
Final standings:
Spoiler 
LUXEMBURGER
| 1 | Luxemburger | 710 | | 2 | Ollfardh | 700 | | 3 | Dippofix | 625 | | 4 | AbhishekLFC | 590 | | 5 | Ste117 | 580 | | 6 | weirdskyfan64 | 485 | | 7 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 425 | | 8 | Spilak23 | 345 | | 9 | emre99 | 275 | | 10 | Ian Butler | 235 | | 11 | cunego59 | 210 | | 12 | The Schleck Fan | 195 | | 13 | Croatia14 | 105 | | 14 | Roextro | 95 | | 14 | sutty68 | 95 | | 16 | MARSUPILAMI | 60 | | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 60 | | 18 | Smowz | 30 |
And so Luxemburger takes the title on the final day and the final match! Joining him on the podium are Ollfardh, whose kamikaze move paid off and brought him into second. Dippofix is in third but did miss both semi-finals. AbhishekLFC was second going into today, but must surely be disappointed with fourth. Ste117 finished fifth ahead of weirdskyfan64 who moved over Luis Leon Sanchez. Spilak23 in eight, emre99 in ninth, Ian Butler rounds off the top ten. cunego59 is elevnth ahead of The Schleck Fan and Croatia14. Roextro and sutty68 are joined fourteenth, MARSUPILAMI moves beside SSJ2Luigi on the final day for sixteenth. The laterne rouge goes to Smowz who only predicted the first four matches.
Congratulations to the winner, the top three, and those who think they did well. Also better luck next time to those just outside the top three and at the bottom of table. I want to thank everyone for participating, predicting, commenting and everyone else. We'll be back in two years time in Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup! Until then, bye bye!

Sixth again! I want to say that not predicting the four games I missed cost me, but I wouldn't have predicted the results anyway.
Thanks Marco- back in 2018!
