World Cup Predictions Contest

Well, I was going to leave this one to the side, but so many of you have been writing and asking who won the World Cup contest that you've left me no choice.  And the winner is . . . .

ME!

Yup! Go back and look through the comments yourselves, not that you would ever doubt the integrity of such a fine, literary location as this blog! I not only picked the correct overall winner (Spain), but also picked the the Netherlands to finish top 3.  No one else who picked the winner got another top 3 pick correct, and those who picked more than one of the top 3 didn't manage to get the correct winner.  

Thanks to everyone for participating! It was truly an eventful and exciting World Cup, and it was made even better by matching wits with all three of you readers out there! 🙂

Stay tuned for four years from now when we will re-run the competition and give you another shot! (Now, if I could just figure out what to do with this autographed copy of my own book . . . .)

    Many people would love to have it.
    Perhaps a drawing from those who entered.
    You could just hang on to it and give it out at one of your campfire stories.
    Congrats for picking the winner.

    Maybe the three readers can wrestle for it ha ha ha smiles or you can raffle it off to raise money for the All Grace Outreach . . . just a thought.
    I am sure that many would feel blessed with an autographed copy. But to have ‘earned’ one by donating more $ than would otherwise be sent. (eg: $10 – $20 per chance.) Then you, Mr Brady, might feel better bestowing that great tool on a worthy recipient.
    I enjoyed the tournament, and now looking forward to qualification starting in two years. Then watching another thirty two countries compete in 2014-Brazil for the final. Dreaming Big again … I would like to watch a few games and/or the Grand Final in person with some of my TEAM Friends !!

    Speaking as one of those few who did actually pick Spain and The Netherlands to be in the top 3 (I just had them reversed!), I think the copy should be donated to the USA Soccer World Cup Organizing Committee. (Or US Olympic Soccer, if that fails!)
    After the pitiful way the USA team played, and acted after bad calls, they obviously need to read it. Heck, they need to read it, learn it, study it and memorize it for next time, from the top down . . . It would probably help them immensely!!
    But that would be just my humble opinion . . . 🙂

    Put it in your local library. How many have signed books from the author?
