Sauromosis Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 The World Cup excitement is growing so let's have a contest to predict the final 2 teams and winner! I will send the winner of this contest a 75021 Republic Gunship!!! To enter, post in this thread with the following: 1. The winning country 2. The runner up 3. Final score of the final match (tie breaker) 4. Pick the matchup of the third place game (last tie breaker) Example: 1. Iran 2. Nigeria 3. 5-4 4. Russia versus Algeria I'll paste everyone's answer in here in the first post as I get time. You'll be required to send me your name and address if you win but I'll keep it private. The final game is Sunday, July 13. Shipping disclaimer: I am shipping from the USA. This is an international contest but if shipping is extremely expensive to your country, I may ask for you to pay for part of the shipping cost via paypal. Good luck!!! 6 Quote
Sauromosis Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Deadline to enter: Wednesday, June 11 (the World Cup starts June 12) So take your time and enter carefully, there's a lot of different choices! (1 entry per user) Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 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 . 1 Quote
Sauromosis Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 It's no problem. This forum has been very good to me financially! Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I would suggest you post the submissions after the contest entry closes Quote
Sauromosis Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 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. Quote
dpwagner Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 1. Spain 2. Brazil 3. 2-1 4. Germany Vs. Porugal 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 1. Spain 2. Brazil 3. 2-1 4. Germany Vs. Porugal Not a bad choice at all. I gotta give a little more time. Want to make sure no injuries to key players, etc. coming up on it. This one is going to be a popular pair though. Quote
knarrff Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 1. Germany 2. Argentinia 3. 3-1 4. Brazil - Portugal Quote

Lol 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. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 are u referring to his goal against England in 86????? Maradona was barely a child in the 60s 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 Quote
