Great sporting event.

Haram National team come home, where people have hung funny posters:

- Where the whole team is sort of is in a school, and being shown how a ball looks like.
- Another poster has just a picture of a ball.

Days later the Haram National team players had a large ball with an diameter of 8 meter placed outside the stadium, with a blackboard beside, with many calculations showing how a ball should be and physics of it. On the ball itself it stands only: "found it!" signed by the entire team, and just for fun, a doll of the coach was placed on a very tall chair.

it's funny this game. special for us Norwegians, since the style the Germans is playing is a mix of a football style Norway used in the 90's called Drillo football and ball keeping cross football (the nick name of the former coach of Norway is Drillo)(Drillo football, is a very direct and long ball football). The Funny thing in Norway, some people hat Drillo, they believe he destroyed the Norwegian football... but then he have won against team like England, Germany, Brazil and France, etc. and that with a team that wasn't supposed to win against them at all! so yeah it's funny for us to sea a team playing a almost hated Norwegian football and do that to one of the best team in the world!

GBR IN THE FINAL!!

What a result against Zealandia.

Just watched Brazils miserable evening against Germany. Wow.

The kiwis exceeded all expectations at home and will recieve a Hero's welcome back home as well as a visit to the prime minister. Will there be a third place game?

At last I got my penalty shoot-out, and what a close match it was! I would like to thank everyone who has submitted a team and show interest in this thread, it has been great fun to do but I don't think I'll be doing another competition of this magnitude any time soon!

I would have liked all the teams to have won but unfortunately there can only be one winner and I think in this case it was very well deserved. I have been compiling some statistics regarding this world cup but I think it will have to wait until tomorrow before I will be able to post it here, but hopefully it will be of some interest to some of you. I think I will be having a word with the coach of Recherche in the mean time however and maybe they'll perform better next world cup...

Congratulations to Garlic and Thiaria for the win
