Juventus FC - Milan AC 1-2

Bah, for the top 6 this is more about getting a unique score than about getting an accurate score

Fortunately I only have Zop to beat (assuming Juve wins, otherwise everyone has to beat me ), so I have some options. I'm going for:

Juventus FC - Milan AC 1-1

(Sorry, OFITG) And I'm not going to change it, regardless of what anyone else does

That's OK... I would think that 1-1 is the most likely score too so well let it stay anyway, I think that next season we should have some anonymous final round as a pm to Paul as basically the semifinal is the true decider at the moment ...

edit:

OK I coldn't resist ... I'll say 0:0 between the two... so the most boring final ever i'll give myself a chance

AC Milan 0:0 Juve - with AC Milan winning on penalties 7:6 for some excitement at the end.

Well, it's 2-0 for Juventus then and I think that's what I'd have bet anyway. Forza Juve!

You wait for my prediction so you can still beat me but once you know it you go for a prediction with which you can never defeat Zop? (Hint: he gets 25 bonus points for correctly predicting the winner if Juve wins)

Or am I ruining things for Zop now?

Juventus- Milan 2-2

Zop bet on Juve as winner? Damn it, I'm lost because Juve wins for sure (they have to!). My mistake, but I wont change my prediction anymore, I've placed the bet.

Based on the current predictions there are 4 possible winners left:

If Juve wins then Zopperoni wins
If Milan wins then I win
If the match ends 0-0 after 90 minutes then OFITG wins
If the match ends in any other draw after 90 minutes then Locutus wins

All this is assuming that Van Nistelrooy will keep his position as the topscorer.

The match ended with 0-0 after 90 minutes. That means that OneFootInTheGrave has won this season's Champions League predictions. Congratulations.

The full standings will be posted after the end of extra time and (if necessary) the penalty shoot-out.

Wait, does OFITG have Van Nistelrooij as top scorer as well?

Because if he doesn't, and Juve still wins the CL, I'll have 375, and still win by two points, right?

Thank you Locutus first and foremost - thank you Paul for organising this lovely event... and whoooooo.... I won....



And thank you Ruud Van Niestelrooy... and well... lucky lad was I with last three correct scores ah well after some of those 0 points weeks I guess I was due some luck

Le's see now, does it than not even Zop can catch me if Juve wins?

Ah, you do have VNR. Congratulations then

Even if Juve wins, you beat me by eight points. Too bad, I really wanted the Triple Crown. Oh well, maybe I can win two out of three.
