    Well, I got France in the finals. I guess those are my last points. Although, reading the rules, I might get extra points if France loses in the finals?!? Who the hell knows with FIFA

    I know this has already been covered 10x over, but FIFA sucks.

    In general. Not just this website.

    So, I think I got a whopping 5 points for correctly picking France in the final....that seems a bit undervalued to me. I think the top 2 places are all safe as they stand . France winning gets me 10 points only moving to 3rd maybe. well at least I have an excuse to drink beers before noon all weekend!!

    I can't see anyone else's results but I'm sure that this didn't get it done:
    Your score so far
    157 Pts

    Just let me know who to send to

    Really strange scoring. I had france in the finals, and when they made it there, I went from 151 to 150. For a correct call. Who knows. Regardless, let me know where to send this box.

    Yeah, everyone's points went down by like 9 points I think. I was at 236 and then next thing I know I was at 227.

    Nothing like getting 2nd place....and none of the final 4 teams correct :slight_smile:

    The scoring was heavily weighed to the group stage, which is the more fun / competitive part - unlike NCAA where you need to new the final 2 to have a shot at winning.

    The winner of the league is @MakeBeerGreatAgain with a pick of FIFA.com sucks.

    2nd place is @soma27 with a pick of FIFA is the worst site imaginable

    3rd place is @sulldaddy with a pick of FIFA is terrible

    4th place is @johnyb with a pick of FIFA isn't that bad.

    We had 19 people, so winner gets an extra box from original plan. I'll send out BMs with targets and will post shipping assignments here as well. Look for them to start today. Hopefully I'll get through all of them.

    Dennis thanks again for running this, my apologies as I had a hand in finding the POS FIFA website. Strange that ESPN, Yahoo,CBSSports etc didn’t offer some version of it. Hopefully the US can qualify in four years and there will be better options next time!

    irregardless, it was a fun and exciting WC to watch but it has really piqued my interest in getting to OUR brand of football ASAP.

    Cheers all!

    to be clear, I blame no one other than FIFA for the calamity that is its website.

    Once again, thanks a lot for running this. It was a lot of fun and hopefully they sort their shit out for the 2022 World Cup! If anyone is interested, there is a BIF for the English Premier League.
