I don't understand why the complains about this were so heated - clear pen!

I'm too hungover to check myself!

How are bookies gonna settle e/w top scorer bets? As it stands, 6 players are on 3 goals. These are separated by assists, so the top 4 is Griezmann out in front followed by Giroud, Payet and Ronaldo as the latter 3 have 2 assists each, whereas Nani has 3 goals but 1 assist so is 5th on the list.

Imagine no more goals are scored, will they pay out the top 4 as it stands, or include the other players on 3 goals and slice the e/w odds further?

I know what I'm trying to ask but I'm struggling to articulate it properly so apologies if that doesn't make sense!

Least I have a decent sweat to take to the final; France/Griezmann double at 20/1 and an e/w on Payet at 66/1. Only very small stakes cos I'm poor

Unless specified, everyone on 3 will pay out, but it'll be at a reduced price. If you get 1 on 4 goals and 6 people on 3, paying 4 places, that means you have 2nd, 3rd and 4th split between 6 players, so you'll get half price for each place bet.

Assists will have nothing to do with it if you have backed the top goalscorer market.  D/h rules will apply for the places (similar to a golf event) like Tal has said.  If you have backed golden boot winner and assists count for that as a tie breaker then it will be different i would imagine.

Thanks guys, thought as much with the dead heat rule. Could do with Payet notching in the final

The beeb said last night that this was germany's 20th semi final appearance in their last 26 tournaments.

Puts the FAs benchmark of scrapping into the quarters into some sober perspective

UEFA says ISL v ENG had a 99.8% market share in Iceland - just 298 people in the whole country chose to watch a different programme on TV

You really couldn't make this shit up.

Any prices on the French FA getting a fine in this game for failing to control the moths?

Koscielny 72/72 on passes in the first 90 minutes, per Opta.

Jose Fonte fairy tale rivals the Vardy one.

Gone from winning the JPT and playing in league one to dragging his club team to top 6 in the prem, making his international debut just short of 31st birthday, plays way into the team and wins the lot. WP sir.

Eder winner and sissoko best player for much of game. Lol what a shit tourney.

[aaron1867]

This must have been the worst tournament in recent history. The excitement and quality of matches was poor, even when it went past the group stage. Pundits saying the new format isn't good and the matches was poor, they wasn't much better past the group stage.

Nothing will change for next time, none of the stars really turned up and the final was poor.
