Maybe jumping the gun but I know Brin will be chomping at the bit and I'll be in meetings by the time the Portugal game ends. Assuming they go on to win here's the state of play as we enter the quarter final stages. Grist has his nose ahead but there are plenty chasing him. At this point we have about 7 players who have a chance of having 3 of the semi-finalists correct. Why is great_fire highlighted you ask? That's because he is done and can score no more points.

Goals scored so far = 148. Currently on target for 169. The 3.5 goals per game in the round of 16 bumped the average goals per game up from 2.5 to 2.64.
If it comes down to a tie breaker I think Edinburgh might regret his prediction of 246, unless of course we see 12 goals per game between now and the end of the competition
