    Wish I had known to fill out tiebreakers, I don't think I filled any out.

    There's only 1, and you would probably beat me because mine was so high anyway.

    So I told you guys I'd do a LIF before this was all over, and here it is:

    Closest guess of the combined minutes for all goals scored in the FINAL. So, if you think the score will be 2-1, and goals will be at 18 minutes, 43 minutes, and 65 minutes, your guess would be 126 minutes.

    A couple clarifications:

    No price is right rules, closest guess gets it.

    Only the minute counts, so a goal scored at 23 minutes 15 seconds is considered "in the 24th minute", this counts as 24 minutes toward the total, so please don't include any number of seconds in your guess.

    If there is overtime, those minutes count as whatever minute they are, so 10 minutes 23 seconds into overtime is the 101st minute.

    Stoppage time counts as 45th/90th/120th minute (so 2 minutes into stoppage in the first half is still 45 minutes toward the count). If the game goes to penalty kicks, 'goals' scored in penalty kicks do not count.

    If the game goes to penalty kicks with the score 0-0, then 0 minutes is the winning guess.

    I'm not doing a tiebreaker or sending out two boxes, so if two people guess the same time, the first guess in gets it. If Two guesses are equidistant (say, 40 and 44 minutes, and the answer was 42 minutes) then I will flip a coin.


    Good luck gents!


    edit: I'm not sure if these need to be said, but guesses will be taken until 2:59PM Eastern on Sunday, July 13th. Contents of the box are at my discretion. Participation is open to the 75 members of the BIF only.

    A little confused with the final outcome. If Argentina beats Germany in the final I should have the same points as the guy winning that bracket in the spreadsheet. We currently have the same points and have the same teams moving through.

    Typo on the underlying spreadsheet. It has you with Brazil as the runnerup and not Germany. Therefore, both the Argentina victory scenarios for you are off.

    My guess, 176'

    Was going to go with 165 (Argentina - 32', Brazil - 47', Argentina - 86', total 165') ; but @Woody1180 all ready has it.

    So my crystal ball says 176' (Germany - 33', Argentina - 43', Argentina - 100')

    I'm not mad Brazil, just disappointed. Messing up my bracket is one thing, but failing to give me a reason to leave work to watch the second half at a bar is your biggest transgression.
