Allow me to share my reasoning....I have no idea what's going on here. Croatia can definitely score once, so maybe they will twice. France likes playing keep-away and if that's what it takes to get this far, Croatia has to be hornier than our own Diggitty in order to win this World Cup.

Thanks! Thought I'd blown it when I went against the grain picking Sweden over England, taking myself out of first place. But glad I managed to recover and not blow it at the moment when it truly counted!

[JAKEPEAVY21]

thanks SBR and Drew for the contest!!

[inter1097]

Thank you for the contest and the points!

[dlowilly]

Thanks for the contest!

Maybe do something to ensure ties are less likely from now or just let ties split prizes? That was big price to pay for join date relative to the prizes

[b1slickguy]

Great contest.
Thank you, SBR.
