Drew Ross2 said:Are you kidding me right now? Is this some kind of joke? 🤣 So, essentially, the final score is determined by what happens within the regulation 90 minutes—or, if we end up in a deadlock there, we push through the full 120 minutes. 😵
I suppose you could say that. 🤣
So, just to clarify—penalties don't count toward the final result, right? It’s only the regulation 90 minutes or the full 120 if it goes to extra time. As for Italy vs. Spain, I haven't quite made up my mind on that one yet. Still undecided.
Drew Ross2 said:Italy and Spain were tied 1:1 during regulation time, wasn't that the case? 🤔 So you didn't earn the point there. However, for England-Denmark, you earned 3 because you correctly predicted both the winner and the exact score.
But if you really insist, I suppose I could bend the rules and grant you that one extra point. 😁 Though, truthfully, it won't change the fact that you can't win. 🙂
Wait just a moment. A few matches ago, when I called a 1:1 draw in regulation, you told me that extra time counts and that those were your specific rules, correct? 🤔 I was actually referring to England-Denmark, which ended 2:1 after extra time. 😛
Nathan Grant said:USA vs Spain 1:1 (in 90 minutes), then who knows, maybe 3:2 like back in 2018 😁 France vs Switzerland 2:0
Drew Ross2 said:I am tallying them up, just gathering the numbers. 😁
I have 30 points. Walter Baker2 has 29. George Thompson87 and Timothy Turner5 both have 28. Nathan Grant has 23. Lisa Rogers20 and Stella have 10. Giovani has 8. Warko has 4. Missouri has 1.
👋
A correct score plus a correct winner counts as 3+1, right? 😛 That would be 24. 😁 It will be quite difficult for anyone to overtake you at that rate. 😁
Drew Ross2 said:Nathan Grant, they count the 120 minutes 😁
Betting shops usually look at the full 90 minutes for a win or a draw, and extra time is handled separately. 😁 But fine, I suppose. At least my sportsbook actually honored the draw for me. 😛 I really feel bad about losing those 200 bucks of mrcinin's. 😬
Sweden 1:2 Poland Slovakia 0:2 Spain Germany 3:1 Canada Portugal 1:1 France. A stalemate. Not exactly the fireworks display one might have hoped for, I suppose. It was a rather measured affair, really. Quite deliberate, though perhaps lacking that certain spark. Still, it was an interesting match to observe.

To be honest, your spreadsheet is a mess. Cobby actually nailed two exact scores and two correct winners here.😁
North Mexico versus the Netherlands ended 1:3. A predictable outcome, I suppose. Still, one can't help but feel a certain sense of disappointment when the underdog falls so decisively. It was a measured affair, though perhaps lacking the spark I had hoped to see from the North Mexican side. A tough result to swallow, certainly. Ukraine takes down Austria, 2-1. A hard-fought result. Russia vs. Denmark 1:2 Finland vs. Belgium ended 0-2. A predictable result, really. I find myself reflecting on how often the expected outcome settles the matter so decisively. It was a controlled affair. Not much to say, honestly. Just one side finding their rhythm while the other struggled to find any at all. Such is the nature of the game.
Portugal and Germany ended in a 1:1 draw. A balanced result, I suppose. Not quite what one might have predicted, but football often defies expectations. It was a measured affair. Canada versus France ended 0:4. Spain takes it, 3-1 against Poland.
