Euro 2016 Pick 'Em: Quarterfinals: The Euro 2016 quarterfinals begin Thursday at 3 p.m. EDT when Poland faces Portugal. After the group phase and round of 16, SportsFilter's pick 'em contest is led by Owlhouse, followed by Bender and Yerfatma. For this round, pick the winner of each game, the score of each game and one goal scorer per game.
Owlhouse wins the week. I take the lead on the Costanza.

I deserve some points for picking Rooney as a scorer in the England game.
Portugal 2, Poland 1 (Ronaldo)
Belgium 3, Wales 1 (Bale)
Italy 2, Germany 2 (Eder) (Italy wins on PK)
France 4, Iceland 1 (Payet)

Poland 2-1 Portugal (Lewandowski - has to happen sometime)
Wales 1-2 Belgium (De Bruyne - kind of looks like Friday Night Lights-era Jesse Plemons, no?)
Germany 2-1 Italy (Muller time)
France 2-0 Iceland (Ollie G.)

I think I had Graziano Pelle to score as well.
Poland 0 Portugal 0. Penalties, and Poland win when Ronaldo skies one into Row Z.
The Welsh dream ends with a 1-0 loss. Lukaku has to come good at some stage, doesn't he?
Germany have never beaten Italy in a competitive international. Until now. 2-0 and Muller gets one.
France edge out Iceland in a nervy encounter. 1-0 with Griezmann to the rescue once again.

Poland 3-2 Portugal (a.e.t.), Blaszczykowski
Wales 0-2 Belgium, Hazard
Germany 1-1 Italy (Italy wins in shootout), Muller
France 2-1 Iceland, Payet
Man, I really want to pick Iceland, but I think France has the muster to finally knock them out, even if it's only on a last minute goal.

Poland 2, Portugal 1 (Lewandowski) I wouldn't root for Ronaldo if he somehow convinced FIFA to let him play for the USMNT.
Wales 2, Belgium 1 (Bale) Man drives the defenders to join a monastery and become ale makers. ;)
Germany 3, Italy 1 (Muller) Italy missing de Rossi is too much
France 2, Iceland 1 (Griezmann) Iceland we hardly knew ya.

Classless is my middle name.
Even more so when I posted it twice.

Grum and Owlhouse's scores included their Rooney and Pelle goals -- I just overlooked giving them credit in the post.
Portugal 1, Poland 0 (Ronaldo)
Belgium 2, Wales 1 (Bale)
Germany 1, Italy 0 (Gomez)
France 3, Iceland 0 (Griezmann)
Yerfatma: You can pick a scorer even if predicting a 0-0 game.

rcade, you may want to rethink your German goal scorer.

Oh, in previous round I picked Gomez to score for Germany, who did.
posted by rumple at 01:02 PM on June 30, 2016
The Gomez scores have been added.
rcade, you may want to rethink your German goal scorer.
I was feeling bullish about Griezmann scoring for Germany, but whatever. Maybe France is more his thing.

Belgium 3, Wales 1 (Lukaku)
