We were discussing this recording the pod last night. How does a draw work in the final where there can be no draw?

Ok. I will write it before the final kicks off:
I will consider the final score at the end of the 90 or 120 minutes(in case of a draw at 90 minutes). So if the result is a draw after the extra time @undisciplined will get 3 points. If the result is 1-1 at the end of the 120 minutes , he will get 5 points.

So essentially he needs it to be 1-1 after 120 minutes and England to win on free kicks.

I think if you hit that and win the tiebreaker that is a well deserved comeback victory and I will have to tip my cap.
Although if the game is going 120 mins my tiebreaker is way too low.

It would be an incredible comeback. I still remember he mentioned in a podcast he was out of this contest!

If the result ends up 1-1, we will go to the tiebreaker.

But what if Spain wins on penalty kicks? Then they won the game. Wouldn't he need England to win penalty kicks so I don't get any points?

No , I will consider the result at the end of the extra time. It’s what I have been considering during this year.

Ok he has a decent shot. 1-1 going to penalty kicks doesn't sound as unreasonable.
Although I might have to take this to Kangaroo court if that happens. I have never heard of a contest where picking the winner doesn't net you points for picking the winner. Haha
