Since Croatia won the game 14-12 after penalties, shouldn't the correct answer be "Yes"? I mean, there is no mention about not counting penalties. If I'm not mistaken, in football there is always a note in the question about counting only regular time. Here it wasn't mentioned so I guess the final score is counted, right?
I don't wanna sound like a sore looser, but there are other players whose cup win depends on this question. That's why I want this sorted out
They did not really win the game. For a win you get 3 points, they received 2 points and Spain received 1 point - so both teams were initially rewarded for a draw and then Croatia won an extra point for being better on penalties.
To be fair, we could have worded it better - and of course it always bites us in the ass when we don't make it 100% clear.
We will count it as a draw, bookies would do the same and also we have this from before the start of the game:
Nah, they aren't that big of a favorite. As Trofo said, initially it was 50-50, currently it's 1.75 on Spain on Supersport.
Considering that we're playing at home, I still feel that it's 50-50. You lose with a draw though, which happens in waterpolo more and more and which might be something both teams would be happy with if the game is tied near the end.
