Sigh... While those that took Australia/Draw in this one are winners...
Australia really needed to win

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #133

World Cup

Denmark 1 - Australia 1
Full-Time

The Danish goal was brilliant, the Australian one was controversial. But the final score was as deserved.

Person watching who now feels rather old - Me, I can remember going with a friend to get an autograph from Peter Schmeichel (Kasper’s dad) when he played for Man United (he was very nice and really, really tall). Knowing that his ‘young’ son is a big, grown up 31 year old makes me feel rather old.

Ah... but I can be lazy, because I know you're going to do the proper reports, I can just write "unbelievable first goal" without bothering to remember who scored it

2. The Odds, as provided by the "EXPERTS", aren't even close so far

Ah, but it's the World Cup, everybody is an Expert

3. World Cup Fans are getting away with things that the locals can't

I know they've drank Moscow dry, so what else have they done?

[johngriffen]

Like marching down the street drunk in large groups...
Making fun of their own teams loudly and in public...
Making anti regime comments in public...

You know, all the little things that many Russians would get sent to jail for doing

Final score . . . 1-1 Australia vs. Denmark . . .

"Australia is still alive at the 2018 World Cup after a 1-1 draw with Denmark, with the Socceroos dominating most of the game but failing to add to Mile Jedinak's goal from the penalty spot."

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #135

DOUBLE PLAY PART 2
PICK'EM

The World Cup continues... and so do World Cup Contests

As earlier stated in Part 1, we have three matches on Friday... We used the first two matches for a Daily Double.
To complete this DOUBLE PLAY, we are doing a PICK'EM
Remember, we have two separate contests for the Double Play, and you will get a 25 WRZ$ Double Play bonus if you win BOTH of them

PICK’EM IS BACK!
You remember... PICK'EM is a very simple made up word. It means, these two teams are so closely matched that either team has an equal chance to win. Or in other words, we have no clue which team will win
When it comes to PICK’EM games, many gamblers rely on arcane knowledge to select a team to bet on. Like: which school did I go to; I like the colors of their uniforms; which team has better cheer leaders; I hate or like that team; my wife likes that team. You get the idea. So whenever you look up the odds for any given event, and the results come back PICK’EM, you now know what that means. FLIP A COIN!
But, in this PICK'EM, you will need a three headed coin. Unlike other Pick'ems where you are simply picking one team or the other... There is a chance for a draw in this game. So you will have to pick between three choices

INFORMATION
We will be using the third match of the day for this Pick'em and here are the odds:
Serbia - 35%
DRAW - 32%
Switzerland - 33%

This one is a classic game for this edition of PICK'EM
But remember, to win a share of the pool, you just need to pick which team will win or will it end in a draw... Three choices, not just two

And for a chance at a 25 WRZ$ bonus, I want you to post a reason why you selected them. It doesn’t have to be real or even make sense. I’m looking for creativity here. I will award 25 WRZ$ to reasons that I like. It will just be my opinion. All decisions will be final with no whining allowed. So come on folks, let’s get creative.
NOTE: You do NOT have to give a reason if you don't want to (many haven't in the past) But, if you want a chance at the bonus...

What is it?
Pick either Serbia or DRAW or Switzerland
And for a chance for a bonus, give us a reason for your selection.

How do you play?
To enter this contest, you will need to post the following:
