SAMPSON WAS DELILAH-TFUL!

Chris Sampson has once again topped the Footcall table! Champion Chris managed to hang on to the top spot with the eight points he bagged for correctly predicting Spain would win. Incredibly this is the second Footcall star Chris can sew on to his Footcall jersey as he won back in 2016 and he has rocketed into the top 5 on the Hall of Fame list. Well done Chris and your £550 prize money is fully deserved; I’m sure your partner, Caroline and plenty of other Footcallers will be after you in two years time.

Ben Kirchell managed to hang to the runner-up spot by the number of red squares he won in the Group Stages, pretty good effort for his first Footcall run-out. The eight points for the Spain victor saw plenty of moves up the board with that correct guess in fact every money spot in the top 16 was occupied by someone who predicted that final outcome. Craigs Wood and Martin were right up there along with Hall of Famer, Kevin Appleton. Mike Costello and Krishan Bindra, Alice Brown, Matt Clark and Les Herbert also claiming prize money. Let’s name check them all by including Tom Foster, Peter Maddigan, Kathryn Rowland, Jamie & Ian, James Parker and Nick Wyatt. I feel awful for the four other players also on 56 points who missed out by the separating criteria, hopefully we will see you all again in 2026.

I’d like make my player of the day, Jonathan Rowland who managed to win the Knockout League table with a perfect 32 point score. Jonathan didn’t drop a single point as he managed to beat Liz Knott who had plumped for England to win.

As for the football, England were left heartbroken once again as Spain secured their fourth Euro title in scintillating style, you can read a full match report HERE
