Nice video there, BZero.
Well, well... An all-Europe final.
Surprised as I thought Brazil and Argentina were out to be in the final...

I win money from my family if Holland or Germany win (they were my 2 sweepstake pics). Got 2 teams each so might be lucky to have both of them in the final

So. A famous Norwegian psychic dude thinks Germany will win the World Cup. Meanwhile that famous psychic squid is predicting them to loose in the semi-finals.
OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS ENDING. I WANT OFF.

Well, I predict 2-0 Germany, so I'm siding with Snåsamannen/The Snåsa Man here.

We're down to 108th again now. Let's just hope we can get back in the top 100 with the final. We have 2 people predicting Spain as the winner (our current leader Vivi, and Mig) and 1 person predicting Netherlands as the winner (Sioux). If Netherlands wins, Sioux will win the league 9 points ahead of Vivi; if Spain wins, Vivi will win the league 10 points ahead of Mig who will just barely snatch the 2nd place from Sioux. We'll have a runaway winner in our league either way, and the winner of our league will probably finish decently high in the global league as well.

At work I figured I'd do the Paul-method with a co-workers dog and put my remaining betting account on who the dog picked as winner.
You'd better not fuck up now, Spain, or I will hunt you down. One by one. And give you a proper talking too.

Paul picked Spain as well. First match he's predicted that doesn't involve Germany, though (I know this because he has a Wikipedia article now).
My prediction: 1-0 Netherlands. Just 'cause.

2 - 1 to Spain. Germany looked threatening until they met Spain, hoping it's the same this time around, with Holland.

welp
Congrats to Spain, and congrats to Vivi who won the UFFSite league with 76 points. The global league winner, "4-2-2" got exactly 100 points, 4 points more than anyone else. Vivi finished, tied with many others, 337th out of 3065 participants.
Oh, and our league finished 107th out of 219 leagues, with an average score of 57.57. Just barely in the top half.
I guess I'll post the final standings here for posterity:
Vivi - 76
Mig - 66
Sioux - 65
Dr. Flux - 56
BZero - 49
Roger - 46
Wingly - 45
BTW, the guy who runs the site, Pete, says he'll do another contest for Euro 2012.
Well, now that that's over, the next thing I will be following is the Euro qualification (a competition Norway actually gets to compete in, yay) as well as the Champions League qualification. Rosenborg will be playing Linfield from Northern Ireland this Wednesday (which I'm sure you all care about very much).
Edit: BTW, here are the stats for the World Cup, including the ranking of all the teams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FI...Cup_statistics
North Korea is, unsurprisingly, at the bottom with 0 points and a 1-12 GD. France finished in 29th, while Italy finished 26th. Also, New Zealand is the only team that didn't lose a single match this World Cup.
Also, Spain is now the Unofficial World Champion as well. The official World Cup final was also the Unofficial World Cup "final" (just click the link to read about it).

I might have finished last, but I was the moral winner.

Second, not bad at all. Having remained a steady 5th during the group stages, the knockouts went my way at least. And a big ol' YAY at the Spanish world cup victory
