What we've learned here is that the more football you watch, the worse you perform in predictions.
Nice job to those who placed, and thanks for running the action dunya!

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
I think that when it comes to what I most respect when considering format, athleticism, and reach: football > football.
When it comes to what I most easily invest emotion into, I might still be stuck at football > football.
However, football might continue to close that gap with football if prominent health concerns don't improve quickly.

Fun game to set up an interesting final.
I don’t think anyone can say England disappointed in this tournament.

I hope I'm wrong about both. That's the last of the non-Europeans/South Americans.

Love seeing the favorites drop. No team from a continent other than Europe or South America has ever won this thing, so all of my rooting interest is in bucking that trend.

I saw the Germany/South Korea game was 0-2 and didn’t register which side had the 2. Took me 10 minutes to realize Germany wasn’t the team mopping up.

I don't quite understand the Syndicator to win it all thing. Let's say the following happens for all scoring other than that specific award:
1. Player 1 - 100 points
2. Player 2 - 98 points
3. Player 3 - 89 points
4. Player 4 - 78 points
