The group stages are over and half the Euro 2012 teams are now on their summer holidays. But what have the last round of group games done to our Football Writers League?

There’s a new leader and it’s NOPA’s nominee Ghost Goal who now holds a 5 point lead. His tactic of picking Spanish defenders is paying off as is the choice to go with Mario Gomez up top.

The 72 and The False 9 are also well placed to make a charge once the knockouts begin and they will both be hoping that Cristiano Ronaldo can build on his 11 points from the last game.

There are also some interesting little side contests going on. European Football Weekends and Barry Glendenning have got their own £10 side bet and it’s EFW that leads the way with a score of 62. In mid table we also have the battle of the tactical masterminds with Jonathan Wilson leading Zonal Marking by just three points.

With just 7 games left this is going to the wire.
