Personally I'd have gone for Germany or Argentina.

Funny, four years ago everyone was saying they wanted Brazil to win it outright because then we could say "England were beaten by the eventual winners". This time around it's the complete opposite - we all seem to want Portugal to crash and burn...

This is an absolute gem from Franz Beckenbauer.

Asked why he thought there had been so few goals scored in this World Cup compared to previous tournaments, he answered:

"The decisive mistake for me was that the players didn't shoot at the goal."

The man is a genius.

We have our first winner!

Geoff takes third place and the huge prize associated therewith.

That should keep him going for a few days anyway.

The prize is £14.40, minus an admin fee of £13.90.

So yes, 50p!

Congratulations to the top three, I suppose - it's not like you did anything except have some good fortune...
