Yes! We have a winner of our Football Madness contest. Even though a couple of weeks ago he was ruling out himself of winning it #1034943, he has completed an incredible comeback.
There were 3 stackers involved in this final day. @grayruby had a three points lead over @User21000000 and 5 over @Undisciplined. After providing picks, @User21000000 was not able to reach @grayruby as both picked Spain and, even though @User21000000 could have guessed the correct final score, it wouldn't have been enough to beat @grayruby.
So, the only one who could beat him was @undisciplined. He made a bold pick, guessing a draw at the end of the 120 minutes and a final score of 1-1. This was what it happened in the end.
Both of them, @grayruby and @Undisciplined were tied with 110 points and we had to check tiebreakers. This was total attempts made by Spain at the end of the match, which you can check here. @Undisciplined guessed 25, which was nearer than @grayruby's (16).
On aggregate, @Undisciplined obtained 111 points, @grayruby finishes second with 110 and @User21000000 is third with 107.

Many thanks to all of you that have been participating in the contest for the last 9 weeks. It's been a lot of fun for me and I hope you enjoyed too.
Thanks @Carresan. This was a great contest. It's so much fun when they come down to the wire and we have to start scheming and strategizing.

You lost it? As in you had it but lost control? Or someone else already had it?
reply
Had it and lost control. I always found the extension settings confusing and messed something up.

I still do, honestly

Congrats. It was such an epic comeback and Spain failed me so I am completely ignoring the fact that the game did not in fact end in a draw.
By selecting draw you essentially give yourself both teams if it goes to penalty kicks. Seems like a loophole that should be corrected for next year but it was a lot of fun.

Clearly you just don't understand European Soccer

You are probably right. I think I might have seen the FIFA president handing the cup to the coach of the country of Draw.

To be fair, penalty kicks are such a dumb way to end a tournament it might as well have ended in a draw.
reply
I think it must be something like the match ended in a draw but the round was decided on kicks.

I think allowing the 1-1 score makes sense because the match after extra time did end 1-1 but England won not draw, whoever that is. So it seems odd to get 3 points for picking the winner that wasn’t the match outcome.
Anyways however carresan wants to score his contest is cool with me. It was an epic comeback.
