Bonus challenges open in about 15 mins guys! I don't have any bets for today. Just want to sit back and watch the goals flow (please flow, I'm bored). Got my Joker for a 5 goal spree, but maybe will tone it down to 4 goals. They better deliver, so I can break into top 3 haha.
Good luck to everyone. tokeweed, I'll take you on sidebets for EPL, don't worry. I've to back LFC here cause France are itching to right their last Final fiasco.

Well done to Croatia, they deserved to play in the final. England showed just a pathetic gameplay tonight with Harry Cane in total shadow, in fact I don't remember if he got a ball tonight. Croatia this year have world calibre players, but against France it will be tough if not impossible for them to win.
Did you see how Croatia played? They been beating down Kane, Lingaard, Young and a couple others, and were getting away with some of it.
Anyway, I could def see them win it depending on how France reacts to Croatia's rough play. And I could see it already... Poor Giroud, Mbappe, Pogba and Kante... They gonna take a beating.
Work or not, France will get a beating. Croatia doesn't have it any other way to play it but to up the intensity by a couple of notches now.
but I hope Croatia will win in this tourney, I always like the idea of underdogs winning.
Yeah, I think the majority of the world will now be supporting them. Even though, they were a little bit rough with England, and gave them some tough love. I think they are a decent team, and I like some of their players like Loveren, and Modric. France aren't exactly a pushover though, and will fancy their chances here. France are favourites & with the players they’ve got they really SHOULD win. I hope Croatia do it though.
Side bet? I got Croatia for 10 bucks vs your 25.
I think it's a fair price based on the odds offered at Nitrogen. And it's just a small 'fun'bet.France win you pay me $10
Croatia win I pay you $25

Yup. But check the latest line for "Who will win the World Cup" at Nitrogen now and I'll give you a better price just so that nobody will think that I'm trying to take advantage of anyone. I just want a fun bet made vs somebody in the forum. Lol.
Let’s dance

Unfortunately I think France is too strong for us. So if somebody is up for it i can take that 10-25$ bet and hope to lose it 
My first take at bracket challenge had France - Croatia in the final and France as the winners and I have a feeling it will end like that. Of course I will cheer with all my heart for our guys (Croatia) but this will be the first match I will not bet on them.

Of course I will cheer with all my heart for our guys (Croatia) but this will be the first match I will not bet on them.At first I thought so too, but after thinking during these hours I took a comparison of head to head players of both teams. While France has big names, the teams in which play the majority of the Croatian players are far more strong than those in which France players play. As for which team to bet on, it is better to bet on under 2.5 goals rather than pick a team. It should be a winning bet, usually we have not see many goals in wc finals.

I put two last games predictions in order to win more than 1000 points in total. Of course not going to happen but just for fun, predicted both the nil nil situation (0-0). Played the joker on France, I am pretty sure the Croatian coach would like to bring the game to the penalties in order to have a real chance to win the world cup. I doubt they can win it in the regular or extra time against France.

I'm sure Croatia will give everything they have in the Final match, it is a good chance for them to make a new history of World Cup. But France will not make it easy, so I think it will be a very tight game and both team will play so carefully. Obviously most of us will prefer to see an offensive game from both team so it will be a good Final Match, it will be boring if both team play defensive and relying on counter attack only. I'm hoping to see a game like Spain vs Portugal on the group stage. That match is still the best match in this 2018 world cup IMO, entertaining match with many attempts and goals.

Games are available to predict now. So I need 955 points to get to current third place I believe, and have just made my last two predictions which will get me 1020 points if correct which would take me to third place as it stands. The scores are pretty outlandish so I've just got to go all or nothing now. Doubt either of them will come in though. Would have been so different if it wasn't for those late goals in the Russia and England matches. That there would have been around 1000 points alone.
It’s been fun once again, certainly makes being on this forum a lot mote fun.
Thanks for the idea & running i so smoothly hilarious.
I’m looking forward to the new EPL season comp already
I had Croatia 1-2 for England to win so only got 54 points for predicting the correct number of goals. I had England backed up as I had put a bet on them to win the Wc and I was just about starting to believe that maybe it will come true but no. I am also looking forward to EPL as I feel much more confident there than in the World Cup betting pool. I am predicting just for fun the last games.
I had Croatia 1-2 England too, I underestimated how good Croatia’s midfield are. Modric & Rakitic are absolutely world class & the former has 4 CL winning medals, you can’t make up for that kind of big game winning experience.

I hope Croatia win, big man Dejan Lovren would return to Liverpool as a World Champion

I guess I am out of the race to compete for the top 5 spots on the leaderboard now after Croatia won the match against England in extra time, I have made a 1-1 prediction with the joker card applied. The players of England seems to get exhausted and lost their focus in defending and that allows Croatia to get the crucial goal in extra time, I think Gareth Southgate should really switch England team formation into 5-4-1 and just totally focus on defending to drag the game into a penalty shootout, but I guess he might have his own plan that backfire apparently.
I also predicted a draw and a correct score of 1-1. I fell asleep after regular time and couldn't watch the rest I thought my prediction already won I forgot about ET because all extended matches always ends on a penalty shootout. 
My early prediction for the finals and 3rd place match are France and Belgium.
Is there any way to see the bracket predictions? or no we'll have to wait until all matches are over.
