Here's my effort. Chose to play Argentina although goalkeeper is worth only 3 stars. Probably Brazil and France are best teams of this bunch.

(15*10,000) + (14*100) + 16 = 150,000+1,400+16 = 151,416

Managed to win all matches = Holland 5-0, Brazil 1-0, Morocco 2-0, France 3-2, Croatia 5-0.

decided to stay up late for this, erm i was doing okay against france and morocco, aside from losing, ha, maybe next time

0 + -1300 + 2 = -1,298

I did it! With France. Beat Brazil and got a draw. A positive score at least.

Brazil 0-1, Argentina 1-0, Croatia 2-0, Morocco 1-1, Holland 3-1

40,000 + -400 + 3 = 39,603

After looking at my group's table, I thought I'd be sporting and try playing as Morocco...

I think Group A is what they call a 'Group of Life'.

I couldn't beat my performance. My journey ends.

A real mix of scores there. Bubba scraping through on goal difference. Well done to the top 6. Now it's time to seed them.

Group winners must face runner ups from a different group. There are only two possible configurations for the semi final matches.

1)
Winner A vs Runner-Up B
Winner B vs Runner-Up C
Winner C vs Runner-Up A

2)
Winner A vs Runner-Up C
Winner B vs Runner-Up A
Winner C vs Runner-Up B

LinesMachine was 2nd in Group B giving us the letter L = 12. It's an even number so we use configuration 2.

capehorn vs Stevengton
el_pasi vs Bubba'n'Stix 2
Parpala vs LinesMachine

I rolled a dice for the pinball table you're playing. Check the thread.
