I am a World Cup loser. A complete, total, unmitigated shmoo of majestic proportions. I couldn’t pick the winning team if it was a day after the game and the sports section of the newspaper was glued to my forehead.

I apologize for insulting the intelligence of my Frontroom friends who were smart enough to pick the winning team, and I applaud their skillful analysis and gifted sports insight.

Congratulations Australia to your first World Cup victory ever! I thought France would win, but ack I was wrong. But Australia, you deserved this victory deeply! Guus Hiddink, the best of football tacticians of today, made a brilliant tournament, and won a fair and deserved victory!

Edit: edited out shameful, evil deceitful message as it wasn't part of the bet!

I'm a loser and I can't say I'm not happy about it a bit. France's goal was a PK, that shouldn't have been. Zidane put on a horrible show for his last game. Italy deserved it in every right in my opinion. They had to overcome a member of their team fighting for his life in the hospital as well as all the scandal in Italy.

Only reason I'm having a hard time is that they spoiled Germany.:furious3:

For that I can only say: **** ***! :germany:

Gentlemen,

This thread is only to collect signatures as per the rules set out in the bet thread that you posted in.

There are other threads open for comments.

Thank you.

(Just FYI, Sasaki Kojiro, who bet for France, was sent the text of this post before the game. Fair's fair. Myself, BKS and Ser Glegane would all have signed it as per our betting agreement.)

I thought Germany might win. Actually, I was pretty close. At least my prediction ability is not as bad as Pele. He is like a jinx.

Go blues, we are with you, in victory and defeat
So defeat it is. And it is more bitter than I can bear.

I shall be a man and post here. I shan't however apologize.

They played with pride, passion and commitment. Beautifully. After the break, with a skill and a flair that was breathtaking to watch. Supporting this team has been a privilege. This was French football, the best we have, and it makes me proud.

Allez les Bleus!

On est tous avec vous, dans la victoire comme dans la défaite. Et merci Zizou, tu resteras à jamais dans nos cœurs.

Good drinks too, with ice, and in a clean glass.
