Looks like Blackcrow is guaranteed to have 59 with either Croatia or Argentina moving on, and with Argentina could get to 67 if they win it all.
Sawnova10 gets to 59 if France makes the finals.
DaRaiders gets to 66 if Argentina wins it all.
The top France champion is me but the best I can do is 57 if France wins it all. Not good enough. (Horn tooting: think I was 3rd in the baseball playoffs, 2nd in the Stanley Cup tourney, 2nd in the Derby trail tourney and won last year's Pick Club. That's some diversity!)

Assuming the table is correct:
Argentina winning it all gets Blackcrow #1 and DaRaiders #2 regardless of opponent. Same if Morocco beats Argentina.
France winning it all gets Sawnova and Blackcrow into a corner count regardless of opponent. Same if Croatia beats France or a Croatia/Morocco final.
