Congratulations to Jukka Sireni for winning the FIFA World Cup forum game 2018! And for still keeping the title in Finland :D Good job for Marcin to finish on silver medal, and Martynas on bronze.
Ivelin, Mato, George, Rainer and Domien are the only ones who rise a couple places in these last two games. Josh and Redewaan go 3 places down.
And there we go! The best possible team to pick, would have therefore been:
32 pts SWEDEN (picked by 10 out of 38 players) 30 pts BELGIUM (26/38) 30 pts CROATIA (17/38) 24 pts RUSSIA (6/38) 19 pts FRANCE (23/38) 18 pts JAPAN (2/38) 16 pts ENGLAND (8/38) 13 pts URUGUAY (19/38)
which would have netted 182 pts.
And the worst possible team: -21 pts ARGENTINA (picked by 10 out of 38 players) -16 pts GERMANY (22/38) -12 pts EGYPT (11/38) -10 pts PANAMA (3/38) -9 pts PORTUGAL (5/38) -7 pts SPAIN (16/38) -6 pts POLAND (14/38) -2 pts any 1 team from ICELAND (8/38), SAUDI ARABIA (3/38), SERBIA (10/38)
which would have netted -83 pts.

Jukka's winning team was (like you can see from the first page):
CROATIA 30 SWEDEN 32 PERU 2 BELGIUM 30 FRANCE 19 RUSSIA 24 JAPAN 18 ICELAND -2 Total 153
and my losing team was:
GERMANY -16 SERBIA -2 PORTUGAL -9 PERU 2 COLOMBIA 7 ARGENTINA -21 TUNISIA 9 DENMARK 9 Total -21
Neither of us were too far from the respective extremes :p
thank you mikko for the game setup and detailed results at every round
congratz to jukka, i don't know if it was luck, flair or just because they are neighboors to finland, but picking both sweden and russia made the difference, good guesses.
