    it's total goals scored by the winning team. So if Argentina wins it is how many goals they scored in the entire tournament. If Argentina wins the championship, it would be a three way tie for 12th with me, you and @disGRUNTled

    Disgruntled has 3 for a tiebreak, you have 14 and I have 21. Argentina has scored 8 so far. So if Argentina scores between 1 and 9 goals in the final 2 games, you will win on tiebreak. If Argentina wins both games in a shootout at 0-0, then disgruntled takes it. Anything more than 9 and I win

    I'm getting my box ready. I have some options ready to send depending on my target. Might not be getting the results I wanted but i take pride in knowing someone will be enjoying some great beers. Cheers!

    Feel your pain. In the same boat relying on an Argentine surgence to the top.. or I dont place at all. But hey we all did great picking these brackets. Definitely great BIF. If only would find an excuse to do another BIF after this one ends.

    I'm thinking about doing a pick'em NFL league after this one, but want this one to finish this one before I decide for sure.

    On a different note, I do not plan on keeping shippers identity a secret for recipient. It is the middle of summer and I think communication is important to make sure boxes don't sit in the heat any longer than necessary.

    Boxes each week? Sounds intense.

    No, for the season (with probable mini BIF's within)

    LMAO , I really did not read the tie breaker, I thought it was how many goals the wining team would score in the final game not for the whole tournament or I would not have picked 3 ..., Back to getting a box ready ...

    I had also been thinking of doing an NFL picks one, but with 1 box going from last place to first place each week (would set the rules so no one ends up shipping every week - maybe only having to ship a max of once every 4 weeks or something like that) and then multiple boxes going to the top finishers for the whole season at the end of the season.

    That could work, I really don't have the time this fall to do anything more involved than just a standard one with a second child on the way due in just under 2 months. I'm happy to let someone else run it, and just participate.

    @Lehighace06 do you have a list or something showing the total minutes that have already been picked? I'm thinking of a number but I don't want to steal anybody's thunder

    And no, I'm not going to go back and read everyone's picks to find out for myself because... because.
