First Goal in the Final?

ErinGoBrath

The last question on the Betfair World Cup Million:

Who will score the first goal in the final? (including extra time and penalties)

Choices:
Henry
Zidane
Vieira
Totti
Toni
Pirlo
Any other player

I reckon it'll be a tight match and I've gone for 'Any other player'. What do you think?

It's not too late to enter the competition by the way: https://www.million.betfair.com/betfair/home

I can't see either defence being breached in open play during normal time. So if there is a goal, I think it will come from a set piece. I can't see the Italian defence giving away silly penalties but it wouldn't surprise me if the French did. I don't bet on first scorer because it's usually far too much of a lottery but Pirlo or Totti would be my picks for this one.

Vokes

Viera in the 12th min from a deflected shot.

I have gone for "any other player" too. I have got 3 correct answers so far, and I had a feeling that the last question would be a tough one though. Actually, I thought it would be to predict the score of the final. If I swing this I reckon I'll win a nice few bob.

Rikand

Gattuso to crumple 4 french players before unleashing a shot from 35 yards out that goes straight into the top right corner!


you heard it here first!

I'd love to know how many people are in each pool of prize money :eek:

Yeah, I'll probably get a tenner or something if I get this one right.

I would imagine that the amount of people who have got all the questions right is pretty miniscule though. Obviously plenty of individuals control multiple accounts, but to cover all options for the opening question would require a lot of accounts.

I'll go for a Zidane penalty (after 60 mins of play), a cheeky shot right down the middle and sending the keeper to the right.

I hope so, it'll win me some cash in an office comp if it happens

I've only got 2 out of the 5 questions correct. I was going to go for "any other player" but a load of people will go for that so I just went for Toni.

Lemlin

Italy will win 1-0 or on penalties. Tooti to score the first - could be a peno.

Rossonero

Toni 5'

Nalz

I told a mate of mine after the 2nd game of WC that Italy would reach final and Toni would score in the 62nd minute with a headed strike into the ground (past Dida I might add but thats not gonna happen now!). Gonna stick with it though I dont think he is a great player.

Toni for me

Mik....I mean

Trilla

Chakar

Come on France...just starting now.

Ruu_Old

Just had my timing a bit off but got everything else right. *looks a watch and shakes it about*

[Jackass]

lol, fair play, I was checking the time of your post...that's pretty accurate!!

(The 0 after the 6 mins of play is a typo, right? )

Pretty spot on except for the timing.
