Lynne is crowned champion of this years gambling tournament! Having survived a late attack from John, she held her lead, helped massively by having 3 of the final 4 teams in her roster. And so, another gambling tournament comes to an end. Despite John correctly guessing the winning nation for the second time in a row (maybe he needs to place some larger-stake bets next time???), Lynne had 7 of the top 11 scoring teams. Lynne also had the most game wins, player of the matches, and goals - so really this was just one of the best scoring selection of teams our little game has ever had! Below are a selection of statistics that make for pretty graphs. Join us next year for the men's Euros 2024, where the spreadsheet will be getting a complete overhaul - which means absolutely nothing for the gameplay but it will look approximately 3x more pretty!
