    Possible semi-final between Atlanta (mdoug) and LA Dodgers (his nearest pursuers) would be big.
    Or alternatively they could both lose in the quarter finals and neither score points!
    Generally been slaughter for our selections in these play-offs, with Tampa, Toronto & St Louis also exiting.
    Only Houston (AJ, RichieM) survive, with one point locked up and the chance to turn it into 2 or 4.

                Cricket Final next Sunday morning. Semi Final line-up is
                New Zealand (Strewelpeter) v Pakistan on Wednesday. Then India (premierstone, AJ) v England on Thursday. Australia were eliminated early.
                Rugby starts today with the first of 4 games for England. Surprisingly looks like all our picks are in the starting XV. Will they score tries?
                Handball in progress. All our selections won their first group game.

                      In the rugby after 2 games, I reckon the try score is (our selections bolded)

                      Marcus Smith (2 tries)
                      Guy Porter (2)
                      Ellis Genge (1)
                      Freddie Steward (1)
                      Joe Cokansiga (1)
                      Jack van Poortvliet (1)

                      Still two games to go but will be a lot tougher to score against NZ and SA.

                                  Just on the goalscorers, I'm going to call the 1st, 2nd, 3rd on goals scored, completely ignoring any silly tie-breakers that FIFA use to separate players with the same number of goals.
                                  Conversely, if there's any doubts about who got the final touch, or was it an own-goal - in these cases I'll defer to who FIFA decide to award the goal to.

                                      Big semi final in the women's handball in the context of our competition on Friday. Unbeaten France face Norway after Norway surprisingly lost their last group game to Denmark who play Montenegro in the other semi.

                                        Great to see how competitive it's been this year. Kind of pokerhand to go easy on the rest of us this year and take a year out

                                            Will update on Sunday after the handball.

                                            Anyone desperate to see France v Norway handball semi-final, it's pretty painless to sign up for a free official stream here.

                                                Italy (Lao Lao) v USA (Strewelpeter)
                                                Germany (pokerhand) v Canada (RichieM)
                                                Netherlands v Australia
                                                Spain (premierstone, Solks) v Croatia (luckforsome, Keane, shrapnel)

                                                I'm in Malaga later in the week and was going to drop into Germany v Canada game to report from on-site. Thought it'd be €15 maybe and could justify staying an hour or two and heading out to watch the footie. Most tickets are €60 though so sod that. I'll be back Sunday so will do a double update of both these events on Sunday evening.

                                                  A really unsatisfactory outcome with a 4-way tie that doesn't move the dial much in the table, other than giving me annoying fractions to work with.
                                                  Points were 4-2-1 so the 4-way tie is 1.75 points each.

                                                  1st. Marcus Smith, Freddie Steward, Guy Porter, William Stuart. 1.75 points - everyone except shrapnel, RichieM, Lao Lao.

                                                      Darts started today.
                                                      Just a reminder as always that it's effectively a last longest on the ~30 English players, who goes furthest.
                                                      If players get knocked out in the same round they have the same position, not worried about averages or who was last on stage etc.
                                                      This event may overspill into the first couple of days of January, final is down for the 3rd Jan.

                                                          Only three contenders: mdoug, Keane and premierstone. As they seem to have same picks for most events (PLLP is irrelevant as none look to score in that).

                                                          It all comes down to KG and premierstone is the only one with a pick left and is already on the differential.
                                                          No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

                                                              Not having Haaland leaves me needing 10 points to pass mdoug - 4 points from my darts player, 4 points from my horse and 2 points from Salah will do it. He does need 7 goals in two games to get those two points, but it's nothing he hasn't done before.

Salah way back on 6 goals so would need at least 4 in the final 2 games to affect the scores. CR7 is no longer a registered player in the EPL.

                                                                      EPL Last Place 31/12 - Brentford and Fulham have been too good. Notts Forest the only pick likely to contribute points. Bournemouth have a really outside chance of falling into the bottom 3.

                                                                      Championship 31/12 - Lots of support for relegated Norwich and Watford. No support for relegated Burnley who lead the way. Sheffield United look good for 2nd with an outside shot at first. The very best Watford or Norwich can do is 3rd place.

                                                                      Darts - Worlds Best English - Down to the last 32 and only 10 English players remain when it resumes on Tuesday. James Wade the only casualty amongst our selections. Possible last 16 tie between Joe Cullen and Michael Smith could yet be important.

                                                                      Leaderboard - with 4 points added for Haaland (then Haaland removed) and all non-runners and no-hoper selections also removed.

                                                                      Keane - deficit 1.xx points. Has no differentials with mdoug so can't win.

                                                                      premierstone - deficit 3 points. It all comes down to L'Homme Presse. A win there and he takes the crown unless Bournemouth provide mdoug with a miracle.

                                                                      limpwhacker - deficit 6.xx points. Can't win as the most Watford can score is 1 point.

                                                                      Strewelpeter - deficit 9.xx points. Would need 10 points from his 3 differentials. Sheffield United look good for 2 and perhaps 4. Hitman has a fighting chance. If Cullen progresses then he'll have eliminated Michael Smith early enough to stop any points. It's stretchy, it's sketchy, but it's possible.

                                                                      ArmaniJeans - deficit 9.xx points. Needs 4 points from each of Luke Humphries and Bravemansgame, (plus Michael Smith exiting early enough). Then somehow Salah to get enough goals (minimum 7) in two games to overtake Kane and go into second place behind Haaland. It's stretchy, it's sketchy and it's not really possible.

                                                                      Odds (for novelty purposes).

                                                                                          Delighted to make the money again, thought I was out of contention and couldn't believe my eyes around world cup SF time when I realised I had a free run with Argentina and Mbappe compared to the guys above me. Still took a fairly perfect sequence of events for that to come good. You can send my loot minus entry for the next go.

                                                                                          Well done to my old mucker Dougie. Hope you are doing well man.

                                                                                                          French Open Tennis Men instead of the normal Women as Swiatek is a short price this year with Barty/Osaka out. Mens seems to be more open.
                                                                                                          Dropped Soccer UEFA Champions League for Soccer UEFA Conference League as looks a more interesting event (Champions League draw was unfortune with big gun v big gun except for City) .
                                                                                                          Don't particularly like the shape of the horse racing events but lots can happen between now and race time.

                                                                                                          23 events would leave me needing to come up with at least 17/18 more in July. But this looks easy enough with lots of potential fun events in second half of year.
