Since none of our entrants had either Italy or France to make it to the championship match, we can now announce the final scores in our World Cup soccer pool:
The ties will be settled tomorrow. For top spot, TRP said there will be four goals in the championship match (not counting any penalty kick shootout); Bean said there will be five. Closer to the actual total wins the prize -- a couple of beverages on me.

I am SO sorry I didn't get my chart in on time!
Amanda is also a DUCK. Myself being part-Duck, part-Viking, part whatever-the-heck Lewis & Clark is, I urged Aamnda to play down her Duck credentials. Didn't want to alienate the Beaver vote.

Posted by: The Bean at July 9, 2006 03:39 PMGosh, what an honor! Thanks, Bog, for running this. And thanks to the people who ridiculed my pre-tourney picks in Bog's 5/31 preview. I appreciate those of you who entered the pool....seriously, way more than those who didn't.
What to drink? I have some time to think about it.
