Has Henry been coaching the Brazilian forwards in his spare time? |

Re: World Cup
Anyone else have any comments or suggestions about this (I already put the functions into a spreadsheet when I was thinking about it the other night and it's easy enough to modify to whatever preference we pick)?

The following is doable, if a little complicated at first glance:
So predictions would be entered in exactly the same form as before, however an optional "PENS" signifier can be tagged on the end of each prediction (to indicate the predicted score is the penalty score.) How does that sound? |

If you (or someone else) could post the overtime/extratime rules just to make sure everyone (me) understands how a winner is determined. To my knowledge the extratime is not sudden death but at the same time there are "golden goals" and I could look it up but the rules posted on the thread would be a nice touch.
If the match is a draw after normal time, the teams play 2 additional 15 minute halves. If there's still (or again) a draw, it goes to penalties. 5 players from each team take the spot-kicks (or if a winner is already established after fewer than 5, that's it). If it's still tied after 5 penalties each, additional players (not the same 5) take alternate pots until someone misses. |
