I'll try to elaborate more, but unless I'm missing something, only Falcon, Bazcovic, Babs or myself have chances of winning at this point.

I'd be surprised if I haven't been totally mathematically eliminated. Of course, I could figure it out if I wanted to.

[Chris1987]

The last 24 hours this has gone completely pear shaped for me

Congrats Borovnia HE did a great job 

Hey I'm claiming joint 3rd and a Bronze Medal I'll take if things stayed that way 

[Babblelot]

I still have Germany points. You have 0 points. So if NED def. ESP and GER def. URU, I will finish 3rd alone  without getting a single point from my champion pick!!!
 

[falcon]

This was so much fun 

[Borovnia]

Congrats Borovnia HE did a great job 

Hey I'm claiming joint 3rd and a Bronze Medal I'll take if things stayed that way 

hey!! thanks alot Chris even so I'm not much sure if I'm happy or not. Spain is just one step from winning a WC! Thanks mostly to Barça, otherwise I'd never support them. I like the Netherlands alot too, hard to say which team I'll be rooting for on sunday, once I no longer need the extra points for the pick em challenge:)

[Borovnia]

That's it. Borovnia has done it, he wins the 2010 World Cup Pick 'em Challenge

Yeah 7 Barcelona started the semi final didn't they and 3 Real Madrid so a huge Barcelona contingent there isn't there. So going to be a tough choice for you in the final then with you liking both teams and not needing the points in this game. I think Spain may just repeat the events of 2008 by following a Rafa Roland Garros/Wimbledon double with the World Cup this time instead of the European Championships.

[Babblelot]

Lots of reshuffling after today's final. conchita jumps from 4 to 2, edging out Bazcovic. It turns out she needed everyone of those 3 bonus points to take the silver   BGT jumps from 9th to 5th.
