DAY 16 - FRIDAY JUNE 26th
16 points is the top score for Day 16. Manager of the Day is shared by Martha Rees, Graham Spicer and Ken Hargreaves. Ken is up 22 places to 21st. 10 points for Neil Mullen is enough to increase his lead to 4 points with Mike Fischer scoring 7. A fourth-best 15 sees Ryan Keenan up seven spots in 3rd. 8 point gap above though, the chasing pack need to close in with time running out until the Group Stage World Champion is announced.

NORWAY 1 FRANCE 4, SENEGAL 5 IRAQ 0
Oooh another late late goal, France's injury time fourth robbed 18 managers of the 5 points, instead leaving them 2. Meanwhile it brought an 8-pointer for Martha Rees, the only one on 1-4. Neil Mullen was one on 1-3 and Neil remains 1 point ahead of Mike Fischer, rather than going 4 points clear. Mostly 2 point scores, though with a fair few zeros and -2s around. Meanwhile no-one expected Senegal to score more than four goals, it's 2 points for roughly 80% of us. Mike Fischer went for a draw, though, and is now 3 behind Neil. The highest placed manager to have more than 4 points so far is yesterday's Manager of the Day, Mark Rees with 5 points. Only Martha Rees has more than 5 points from these two games. Got to be bigger news to come later.
