(final) Germany 2 v 1 Argentina

After 4 weeks, 64 matches and a thoroughly enjoyable World Cup, Germany are the winners!

But typically in what was proving to be such a close competition, we ended up with joint winners in our competition, with both bduddy and RobertRacer99 scoring 51 points!

Despite getting the most points in the knockout stages and bonuses, a lower scoring group stage resigned bruno_arnason to third.

Suprisingly no one got the score for the final right (I was the only one to say 1-0, but to Argentina). and only one person got the score right in the 3/4 match too. Clearly predicting the correct score proved more tricky than I had expected at the start.

Many thanks to the 20 who took part, I hope you all enjoyed it! The full standings are below, along with the spreadsheet that tracked the whole competition.

:winner: :winner: :bronze:

A tie? Well, of course I would have preferred to be alone in 1st, but this is still good! Good job, RobertRacer, and thanks to Bouncebackability for running this!

Congrats guys! And thanks to BBA for making this game, too.
I'm 7th - at start I thought I'll be maybe on top, but after some sensations (and my bad prediction by that thing) I think it's quite nice place. See ya in 2016 on Euro (I think) or on 2018 in Russia!

Not bad, ladies and gentleman!

As Ronaldo (great footballer and now a pointless commentator) would say: "The winner is the one who came first and got more points"

Congratulations to bduddy and RobertRacer99.

About me? So Klose... (get it?)
