Nice setup.. Much more simpler than what I had in mind ... Lol

I'm down - although I don't know why you have to carry the entire cost on you own .

It's no problem.  This forum has been very good to me financially!

I would suggest you post the submissions after the contest entry closes

PM, or really open entry here?

I feel like open entry here would be more fun.  We already know the teams that most people will choose.  And there are many tie breakers if you want to pick the same final teams and score as another person.  If we have too many identical guesses, I can have those people pm me the score of the third place game.

1. Spain

2. Brazil

3. 2-1

4. Germany Vs. Porugal

1. Spain

2. Brazil

3. 2-1

Man you never know - crazy coaching change or a big injury. 

 

I remember before the last world cup there were rumors Ronaldinho was getting fat. That put me off them. lol.

 

BTW from an earlier conversation, another example of a player that was insanely good and just never really did anything world cup wise like Messi.

 

If you want to see good soccer, go watch Diego Maradona's world cup run in the 60s. That is how you prove you are the best player in the world - maybe the GOAT.

Lol yeah. I was going to mention Pele and I was thinking 60s before hand so I think that's what happened.

Yes I was really referring to the whole tournament but the England game was obviously the highlight.

The hand of god goal, though sort of cheating, is amazing just because it signified how high he was regarded.

I want to see something like that. A player that just dominates the game. Closest thing in a while was Ronaldo back in the 2000s
