I think that makes Crazyrah the world champion of the BSN pool...unless Cerrydd has been bitten by Suarez tonight of course...If not then congrats Crazyrah and cheers for organizing it Kimo.
Yup.
CrazyRah is the official resident psychic of the BSN with a grand total of 255 points.
Messi did not deserve that Golden Ball but neither did Robben. They should have given it to James Rodriguez or a pick of the Germans, Müller, Kroos, Hummels
New unethical experiment to create the greatest soccer player of all time leaked.

Messi was the most decisive (not best) player during the group stages, but ever since the last 16 he just failed to come up. As I said before, Robben deserves the prize in my opinion, but if FIFA wanted someone who took part in the final, let it be Kroos or, dare I say, Hummels.
Zabaleta was the best defense in the cup imo.
Robben's dives should disqualify him by default.
Never forget 
Phew, was getting scared that Argentina would win it, but I'm happy Deutschland finally found the goal. Congratulations Nachbarn.
Also congrats to CrazyRah for winning the pool!
I didn't get bitten and didn't finish last, so I'm content. Thanks Kimo for organising this again! It's been fun, and hopefully I'll see you guys in 2016

That guy won? That's totally CrazyRah

Bad pun. Seriously though, well done! 
See you guys indeed. ![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)
Maybe we should have pools for more major events. 
I became 8th, thanks to the unexpected results, my outdated knowledge and my Asian fanboyism. In the previous pool I became 4th. Still my current result isn't disastrous for me like what happened to Spain in this world cup!
Can we agree this is the ''WTF'' moment of the WC?
For some It's time to kiss goodbye football and play poker!
Note: Ronaldo and Klose are my all time favorites.
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has officially ended.
It was an amazing world cup and I think you will agree that it was one of the best in years.
The defending World Champions never got the chance to unpack their things.
Here in The Netherlands we got way more than we could ever have predicted. The 5-1 against Spain will go into the history books, the party afterwards as well.
2 African nations made it past the group stages into the knockout rounds to write history and at least one more deserved to go on.
The most powerfull nation in the world fell in love with the most powerfull sport in the world. The USA played daring, offensive matches and were rewarded for it. Along with Howard the Savior they showed the USA what football can do.
We got to see other amazing goalkeepers. Where some WC's are nightmares for them they shined in Brazil. Ochoa, the hero of Mexico. Howard the Savior. Neuer the Defender. Navas and Bravo, names that were not familiar put themselves on the map.
An amazing forward James Rodriguez. Scored the most goals of this WC and was a total revelation. The man that helped his country advance where other 'big' names like Ronaldo, Neymar, Suarez and others failed.
The Vampire that strikes again. Suarez once again bites another player (nearly correctly predicted by Druss) which resulted in the larged ban the FIFA has ever given on a WC (but still is too little..)
Colombia and Costa Rica making it far into the tournament but sadly not far enough. Small nations that made a big impact on the world of football this year.
A revived Belgium. For the first time in more than a decade on the World Cup and they showed what they are capable of. They can do great things in years to come.
A worthy goodbye for Cahill. Even though they lost all their matches, Australia was great and should not be forgotten.
A collapse defeat for the home nation. Brazil losing 7 to 1 against an unleashed Germany with 3 goals in the span of 4 minutes. And many, many other goals throughout the entire tournament, breaking records.
Klose, now officially the World Cup top scorer of all time.
And ofcourse many, many errors by referees that proved to be game breaking. Brazil had to be helped in the very first match. Mexico got denied 2 solid goals. Penalties wrongly given or not given and refs afraid to give cards.
And in the end proof that the ancient football saying still holds: In the end, Germany takes the prize.
But maybe more important, a new King of Football here on the BSN: CrazyRah
And all the things I have forgotten to put here
Thank you all for participating, it was a great ride!
GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Words cannot explain how I feel!!!
And if course, Neuer rightfully deserves the golden glove. What a legend!
Yay, we won, finally!
I'm so glad Klose actually became World Champion in his second final after 2002, that guy so deserved it! So did Schweinsteiger, Lahm and the other "veterans". Neuer, that beast of a keeper! And the old and new newcomers. ****** great team we have!
Many thanks to you, Kimosabe, for hosting this fun event here, and kudos for keeping track of all those predictions! 
Let's not talk about my shameful results, though, better focus on the fourth star for Germany! 
Edit- Almost forgot: congrats CrazyRah, BSN Champion! 
Germany totally deserved this title.
Zabaleta was the best defense in the cup imo.
One word, Vlaar.
Thank you Kimosabe for creating this entertaining adventure for all of us!
Thank you everyone who participated in this thread and gave feedback!
Congratulations Germany on the win! Well played and great football they had. Really deserved it.
Congratulations CrazyRah for being awarded the Top Title of Off Topic Threads "King of Football!"
And also, this Cup was very very veeeeeery interesting... Spain being disqualified in the first few matches, We Brazilians that never lost hope even after the defeat of 7X1 on the hands of Germany and many many many other things that will surely enter on history!
#Russia2018iswaiting
Good game everyone!
Edit: Since I know how to lose, if anyone deserved Water's glove it would be Julio Cesar. Lol
Edit 2: Lol everyone. Look what I found on Facebook:
"G" is the 7th letter of alphabet,
and Germany
starts with "G"
-The name Germany contains 7
letters
-Germany was in Group "G" or
Group "7"
-Germany ended group stage with
7pts
-Germany scored 7 goals in group
stages-4 vs
Portugal, 2 vs Ghana and 1 vs
U.S.A
-Germany scored 7 goals vs Brazil
-And obviously, we are in 7th
month of year and winning goal was
scored 7 minutes to end of extra
time...what a world cup
It was a hell of a tournament and the best I can remember since USA '94. I genuinely can't pick a goal of the tournament between Rodriguez, Cahill and RVP. Jones goal for the US was a nice good old fashioned thump too.
It was a tournament for goalkeepers and attackers as some of the defending was diabolical at times. David Luis was hilariously inept as per usual, Bruno Martins Indi at times looked like a penalty waiting to happen, Spains entire defence was allergic to Dutchmen. It wasn't a great time to be a defender. Tim Howard is finally getting the recognition he deserves, another in the line of fantastic US goalkeepers.
We finally had goal line technology. We learned that cannibalism is ok in Uruguay as long as you're good at football. England were an afterthought and might now finally learn that forcing what you mistakenly believe to be world class players into a team that has no place for them isn't a good idea. France were surprisingly good and didn't mutiny. Cameroon were bloody awful and did mutiny. Ronaldo was quickly forgotten and we couldn't count his hair changes anyway. There was no psychic octopus.
The pool went right down to the wire and could have went 4 ways right up until the end almost. CrazyRah joins OBaka and whoever won the first World Cup pool(Harry?) on the list of champions.

SCOLARI FIRED, PARTY IN THE STREETS!
Congratulations Germany, great victory and prevented the disaster that would be Argentina winning the WC here in Brazil.
Also I won a beer drinking contest against some germans in the Fan Fest, it was a cool day.

For my 11 players team I would just change Blind and Kroos with other two. Many players have been disappointing to add here. Maybe C.Ronaldo (who did well despite his team sucked) and Schwansteiger.

^What makes you think Cristiano did well? To me, he had one good moment - the cross leading to Nani's goal against the USA.

I agree with every single player in this list. 8)
Ronaldo scored one goal and passed another despite having knee injury.
Props to Schweinsteiger for eating absolute *expletive* for his team and coming back for more. Dude will not stay down.
/thepowerwithinRiesens
Now that I think about it, maybe he didn't eat *expletive* so much as he ate Riesens
The most powerfull nation in the world fell in love with the most powerfull sport in the world. The USA
Eeeeeh, that's rather subjective.
