So stuboy can wrap this up tonight if 2 games go his way.

[stuboy]

Never expected to ever say this but....

COME ON HONDURAS!!

Took a bit of a risk choosing both Spain and Bosnia who were both out of the tournament before playing their last games - but now hopefully gives me more team options - should this game continue to either the quarters or semis!

[forestfan]

Swiss gambles pay off as well - still four left as we go into the knockout stage proper. Remember you still get through if your team wins in extra time or on penalties.

All in...

Spencer4 France
MvL Brazil
Colbert Holland
stuboy Holland

Have to say I expected all four on the Dutch with nothing decided either way!

[forestfan]

So, Moist is through and still has Germany and Holland (if they win) in his locker if needed... a Costa Rica win would give him the title in this round though.

Spencer4 is out having taken a necessary gamble on France, the other two waiting on the Dutch.

[Spencer4]

Thanks for the game ff, I had no real choice, it had to be France or Colombia or I could have been left with no team in the next round.

[Colbert]

Never in doubt

[forestfan]

OK then, down to the last three...

Colbert (remaining: ARG)
Moist von Lipwig (remaining: GER, NED)
stuboy (remainig: ARG, BRA, GER)

Even if you only have one valid option, please post it to confirm entry!

[Moist von Lipwig]

So close...

[stuboy]

Never in doubt

[Colbert]

So I'll be heading out regardless of the result

pm sent

[forestfan]

OK then, picks are in...

MvL and stuboy both went Germany with Colbert on his only choice of Argentina.

If ARG and BRA win then Colbert is the winner.
Any other combination and it's down to the other two for the final/3PPO, either due to standard elimination, Colbert having no teams left, or everyone losing so those with a team remaining being back in! Stuboy would have the advantage of a choice of teams under that scenario though.

[forestfan]

OK then, all through in effect, but Colbert is eliminated through having no team remaining to pick.

The other two can choose any team they have left for the final and third place match (MvL has only one option of Holland, and stuboy can choose to go against him with Brazil or take Argentina in the final).

Tie-breaker: Predict the time of the earliest goal in either the final or third place match (as per FIFA website).

Both of you, please PM your selection and tie-breaker, thanks.

[stuboy]

And I thought the tiebreaker would be the person with the most teams remaining

[Colbert]

Through to the final undefeated, even better than Costa Rica's real life efforts

[stuboy]

Forget tie-breaker, I go for Brazil

Thx

[Moist von Lipwig]

That's the spirit. GL

[forestfan]

That's the spirit. GL

I'll take that as confirmation of Holland then... may the best reserve team win!
