It's all down to Iceland !!

The last four group matches take place this evening and Greg Davies will no doubt sat at home hoping Iceland will only score a maximum of 1 goal to ensure he finishes in top spot in the TASC Euro 2016 Treble Chance competition.

With 18 of the 36 qualifying group matches completed in the TASC Euro 2016 Treble Chance, we are still awaiting one of the countries to score more than 2 goals in a match.

Germanys 0-0 draw with Poland and Northern Ireland's 2 goal victory over were the surprise results from Thursday's fixtures.

Steve Foster could be cleaning up two of the three prizes on offer as his Team 1 currently occupy joint top spot with Chairman Grahame Rowley both on 8 goals scored to date by their 3 randomly selected teams.

Meanwhile at the bottom end of the table Steve's Team 2 occupy bottom slot with jus 1 goal scored from Hungary, Poland and Austria.

Don't despair however, the current list below includes many players whose teams have not yet completed 2 matches each so things could change when all the teams have completed Round 2 of the qualifying group matches.
