Tell me about it. :-p.

And you can't say no DH :smile:

Hmm. Wouldn't that be a conflict of interest, given that I'm now tied for first? Giving that job to someone in fourth or fifth place would probably be much fairer to all.

Borg
I think you have mistake
Uruguay - Netherlands (2-1)
Germany - Spain (2 - 1) - this is better :)

No, I posted what I think it will be:
Uruguay - Netherlands (1 - 2)
Germany - Spain (2 - 1)

Feel free to make your own predictions if you disagree.
 
  • #405
I'm pretty sure he was joking Borg.

Perhaps it might be interesting if on the last game you can bet points like in double jeopardy.

Lol we've already had someone say that if another person got their prediction correct they would give them points :-p. It was in the second or third week. hahaha

Hmm sucks I won't be able to fully watch todays game :cry: have to go to work.

Yes, I understood that it was a joke. :rolleyes:

Great, now I'm the one that looks like an idiot.

I just found it odd that lepori's first post ever was to tell me that.

Oooo tied game 1-1 come on Netherlands!
 
  • #411
Ned 2-1 thanks to a goal by Sneider. Slightly controversial due to the positioning of a potentially-offside attacker.
 
  • #412
3-1 Orange.
 
  • #413
We WoOOOOOOOOOoN!

Ssshhh! Don't yell so loud. Robben might lose balance and fall.

Why? are you from Africa? (thinking of SA and Ghana eliminations). Uruguay seemed to be a pretty scrappy outfit that might have made for an exciting final.

Ha! Netherlands gets another crack at World Cup finals frustration!

Last time Netherlands played Germany in a World Cup final, Netherlands scored on a penalty kick in the first minute of the game before any German player ever touched the ball.

At 16 hours, they might be broadcasting the game on the plane. They have all sorts of fancy crap for long international flights

I've only once had in-chair entertainment in the past 10 years, but since I'm flying KLM I'm expecting (demanding) in-flight broadcasting
