*** Official World Cup Final Thread ***

[Blackadder]

Whilst penalties can be exciting, I HATE it when the World Cup final is settled on penalties. 4 years work settled by a penalty miss!

What odds on Jesus scoring the winning goal?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Holland have got no chance if this goes to pens

 

[Lady Whistledown]

if Spain lose I hope he doesnt get crucified in the spanish papers for that miss

In a penalty scenario, it would be FAR better for the headline writers if Jesus was a goalkeeper, surely.

God knows.

Well he's missed one chance already so it would be kind of a second coming. Resurrecting Spain's chances, if you will.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

He'll be hung out to dry if he misses the vital one

Torres to get the winning goal? Happened in 08.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Will he be cross, I think thats nailed on

 

[perseus]

The trouble with penalties is that it is ten thirty closing on Sundays.

[turnstiler]

GREAT defensive header!

 

[Frutos]

now Villa is off, what's happened if everyone stays on 5?

Mueller wins it because he's had the most assists (which is the 'tie-break' method used).

 

[patchamalbion]

now Villa is off, what's happened if everyone stays on 5?

Muller will win it

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Sniedjar can still win it, does a penalty shoot out goal count towards the golden boot?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

now Villa is off, what's happened if everyone stays on 5?

Muller wins on assists

 

[Gazwag]

now Villa is off, what's happened if everyone stays on 5?

They arm wrestle next wedesday at Mandela's home

 

[pasty]

Heitinga off

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Oh dear.
