We were discussing this recording the pod last night. How does a draw work in the final where there can be no draw?
Ok. I will write it before the final kicks off:
I will consider the final score at the end of the 90 or 120 minutes(in case of a draw at 90 minutes). So if the result is a draw after the extra time @undisciplined will get 3 points. If the result is 1-1 at the end of the 120 minutes , he will get 5 points.
So essentially he needs it to be 1-1 after 120 minutes and England to win on free kicks.
Book it!
I think if you hit that and win the tiebreaker that is a well deserved comeback victory and I will have to tip my cap.
Although if the game is going 120 mins my tiebreaker is way too low.
It would be an incredible comeback. I still remember he mentioned in a podcast he was out of this contest!
and had been out of it for a while
Your 2-1 strategy got you back in it.
If the result ends up 1-1, we will go to the tiebreaker.
But what if Spain wins on penalty kicks? Then they won the game. Wouldn't he need England to win penalty kicks so I don't get any points?
No , I will consider the result at the end of the extra time. It’s what I have been considering during this year.
Ok he has a decent shot. 1-1 going to penalty kicks doesn't sound as unreasonable.
Although I might have to take this to Kangaroo court if that happens. I have never heard of a contest where picking the winner doesn't net you points for picking the winner. Haha
Hahaha , I was expecting the kangaroo court one way or another. Let’s see how it goes. You have all done great last 9 weeks and it’s great we need to go to the last match to decide the winner. Good luck!
Spain scores and takes the lead at 24 minutes @grayruby @Undisciplined @User21000000
Come on Spain. One more goal and this thing is over.
Things look good for you at halftime. Spain leads 1-0. Though @Undisciplined will be in again if England scores.
Well, England has just equalised the Final.
Uh oh 1-1. The prophecy is being fulfilled. @Undisciplined
Attempts already at 17.
There is a real chance for an epic comeback here.
Are we over 16 attempts?
That's interesting. ESPN has attempts at 11-7
LFG!!!!
17
It’s time for the 2-1 to chase him forever
The most hilarious outcome would be a team scoring in the 119th minute to make it 2-1.
15 minutes to go... this outcome would be incredible !
Full time in Basel. We're heading towards extra time. Spain 1-1 England
We have reached halftime at extra time. All tied and it's going to be exciting. 15 minutes to go and Spain has reached 21 total attempts
The match goes to penalties. It ends up in a draw (1-1) and Spain ends with 24 total attempts which means that @Undisciplined has completed an incredible comeback again!!!! Post will follow tonight. Congrats sir, you're awesome !!
This is awesome Good luck on your picks fellow Stackers No losers here as long as the match is fun😊
You scooped us, you bastard!
