@SlipperyP great work as ever. Out of interest, if people finish on the same number of points how do you decide goal difference? Not that I’m raging, or anything, just curious.

Assuming we haven’t started the cup and you’ll give the link for either the morning or afternoon quiz. I got 10/10 for the morning quiz then 6/10 for the afternoon.

Monday league business 9/10. Poet.

Yes, I'll link what quiz for each session.  Good that your getting some practise rounds in. Seeing the lay of the course and all that.....Some of us, like your good self should be familiar with the quiz, reason we are playing at home.

However, when looking at the teams and the players league ranking, I think Scotland should be favourites. No pressure like.

ETA - Just had a morning round myself and scored 8/10 - helped that some of the photos had the answer & 6/10 for the afternoon.

Going for a few beers now.
