2G-England scored on Harry Kane's 3rd PK goal of the tournament and was poised for the win until 1H-Colombia became the 11th team to tie or win in stoppage time as Yerry Mina's 90'+3 sent the match into Extra Time. ENG, having lost all 3 PSOs in the WC plus one Euro PSO were making their fans' nervous as the 30 minutes ticked away. But ENG was prepared for a PSO. Even after falling behind 3-2, luck was on their side as COL hit the crossbar giving each side a miss. After COL's fifth was saved, ENG got lucky again as even though the GK guessed right and got a hand on the ball, the ball still powered into the net, giving ENG their first PSO victory, 4-3.
In a battle of evenly matched European teams that start with the letter "S",
F1-Sweden's (who is Zlatan again?) lone goal in the second half held up against E2-Switzerland, ranked 6th in the world.
55 picked ENG and two picked SWE. Bigblue2 (33rd-Tied, 83) and Krispy Kremer (54th-T, 78) got both correct while 24 went 0-for-2. 18 have picked 5 of the 8 teams and Larzby (78th, 61) has picked just 2 of the 8. EEChick1400 and TheComeBacker are now tied for 1st with 95 points with former leader Kds911 and Sir Kyle tied for third (93).
We now know which of the 79 entries have been eliminated. Just 28 are still alive to win money (top 4) while ten can still win the pool. TheComeBacker has a 32.8% chance to win the pool and even money (50%) to finish in the top 4.
Shants is 5th (92) but can't finish in the top 4. Kds911 and Sir Kyle are tied for 3rd but neither can win the pool. TroJen is tied for 75th (68) but can not only finish in the top 4, but can win the pool! EEChick1400, Blitzkrieg813 (6th-T, 91), and Flying Elvi (6th-T) all have GER as their champ but can still win the pool.
