    Right think I have finally figured it out
    England 36 points ahead with auto subs etc.

    We have berahino

    They have 3x DDG, 2 x ADM, wisdom, RVP

    So given all likely to start, with the 2 points for each brings it down to 24
    Think it is close.

        no way Billy, The team selection policy rewards strong and consistent performers.

        Players earn the right to play so those on the pitch deserve their chance.

    Some interesting tidbits after this weekend;

    If the league was ranked by total points it would be as follows. Please don't check my maths it cant get any more embarrassing than adding up 2 x 2 combined scores at golf incorrectly and be accused of cheating.

    1. New Zealand (B) group leaders
    2. Holland (B)
    3. South Africa (B)
    4. Australia (A)
    5. Belgium (A)
    6. Argentina (B)
    7. England (A) group leaders
    8. India (A)
    9. Spain (A)
    10. Malaysia (A)
    11. Germany (B)
    12. South Korea (B)

    Total Points scored Group A = 15,238
    Total Points scored Group B = 15,462

    Lessons to be learned. NZ vs Holland will be epic. Clogs beat jandals every day of the week.

      Interesting but being a golf player you would know that matchplay tactics are different from stroke play
      So same applies to me in here, go out with tactics of beating my opponent for that game.

      I was planning a video of K-Pop babes with the subtitle "we suck" over and over but I thought it might get mistaken for an advert for adult services and deleted.
