Quick thanks to everybody who took part - this has been by far the most difficult competition to keep up with, particularly in the group stages with four matches a day, and being the wrong time of year when work is busy and the timings of the kick offs mean missing three of those matches a day...

You needed Messi to stutter a bit more in his run up.
To be precise on the first goal:

4. Before 23, after 56 or no goal - tiebreak

Haven't posted enough on these threads this year, though I think this has not been a great year for music - in fact my album purchases have been at the lowest level for about a decade.
Anyway, here's some recommendations from the Trees household.
