 Belgium 2 - 0 England 
The least important match of the tournament is won by Belgium. While most people correctly predicted that, only five predicted the scoreline correctly: AbhishekLFC, jandal7, Marcovdw, MARSUPILAMI and viking90.
Spoiler | 1 | AbhishekLFC | 50 | | 1 | jandal7 | 50 | | 1 | Marcovdw | 50 | | 1 | MARSUPILAMI | 50 | | 1 | viking90 | 50 | | 6 | Bikex | 30 | | 6 | df_Trek | 30 | | 6 | fjhoekie | 30 | | 6 | FreitasPCM | 30 | | 6 | hillis91 | 30 | | 6 | jseadog1 | 30 | | 6 | Ollfardh | 30 | | 6 | Selwink | 30 | | 6 | sutty68 | 30 | | 6 | trekbmc | 30 | | 6 | weirdskyfan64 | 30 | | 17 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 20 | | 17 | Tamijo | 20 | | 19 | Vien | 10 | | 20 | sammyt93 | 0 |
Standings (after 63 out of 64 matches):
| 1 | Selwink | 765 | | 2 | FreitasPCM | 710 | | 3 | MARSUPILAMI | 705 | | 4 | viking90 | 700 | | 5 | Bikex | 645 | | 6 | fjhoekie | 635 | | 6 | hillis91 | 635 | | 6 | jseadog1 | 635 | | 6 | Tamijo | 635 | | 10 | df_Trek | 630 | | 11 | trekbmc | 615 | | 12 | AbhishekLFC | 595 | | 13 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 585 | | 13 | sammyt93 | 585 | | 13 | Vien | 585 | | 16 | jandal7 | 565 | | 16 | Marcovdw | 565 | | 18 | Ollfardh | 505 | | 19 | weirdskyfan64 | 480 | | 20 | TheManxMissile | 440 | | 21 | purepasd | 405 | | 22 | sutty68 | 385 | | 23 | Aquarius97 | 330 | | 24 | Atlantius | 240 | | 25 | emre99 | 175 | | 26 | Arberg | 25 | | 26 | tobajas | 25 | | 28 | Croatia14 | 15 | | 29 | Messi2018 | 10 |
Selwink and FreitasPCM both score 30 points and stay as they are. MARSUPILAMI and viking90 score 50 points and are now respectivaly five and ten points away from second place. It will all be decided tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow: it's time for the final. France - Croatia. Score after 90 minutes. 100 points available for the match. 50 points for the two bonus questions. And another 100 points if you predicted the winner correctly at the start of the tournament. That's 250 points. It's not over yet.

Bonus question 7: Who will become the FIFA Budweiser Man of the Match in the final? (25 points)
Bonus question 8: Will we see an on-field review during the final? (25 points)

 France 4 - 2 Croatia 
France wins the 2018 FIFA World Cup but who wins the prediction game is more important to you I think. The exact result wasn't predicted, unsurprisingly, but 13 people predicted France to win in regular time and receive 10*4=40 points. A few people pick up 4*5=20 points for predicting France to win after extra time/penalties or predicted Croatia to score two times. Bikex and Luis Leon Sanchez score nothing.
Spoiler | 1 | AbhishekLFC | 40 | | 1 | df_Trek | 40 | | 1 | fjhoekie | 40 | | 1 | FreitasPCM | 40 | | 1 | hillis91 | 40 | | 1 | jseadog1 | 40 | | 1 | MARSUPILAMI | 40 | | 1 | Ollfardh | 40 | | 1 | Selwink | 40 | | 1 | sutty68 | 40 | | 1 | Tamijo | 40 | | 1 | Vien | 40 | | 1 | weirdskyfan64 | 40 | | 14 | jandal7 | 20 | | 14 | Marcovdw | 20 | | 14 | sammyt93 | 20 | | 14 | trekbmc | 20 | | 14 | viking90 | 20 | | 19 | Bikex | 0 | | 19 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 0 |
Bonus question 6: Who will become the FIFA Budweiser Man of the Match in the final? Antoine Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann has been elected Budweiser Man of the Match by the public. He scored the penalty in the 38th minute. Those who predicted this correctly are AbhishekLFC, df_Trek, FreitasPCM, hillis91, jandal7, Marcovdw and Ollfardh.
Spoiler | AbhishekLFC | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | df_Trek | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | FreitasPCM | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | hillis91 | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | jandal7 | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | Marcovdw | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | Ollfardh | Antoine Griezmann | 25 | | jseadog1 | Kylian Mbappé | 0 | | MARSUPILAMI | Kylian Mbappé | 0 | | Selwink | Kylian Mbappé | 0 | | sutty68 | Kylian Mbappé | 0 | | Tamijo | Kylian Mbappé | 0 | | Vien | Kylian Mbappé | 0 | | Bikex | Luka Modric | 0 | | viking90 | Luka Modric | 0 | | weirdskyfan64 | Hugo Lloris | 0 | | fjhoekie | Paul Pogba | 0 | | sammyt69 | Ivan Rakitic | 0 | | trekbmc | Ivan Rakitic | 0 | | Luis Leon Sanchez | Danijel Subasic | 0 |
Bonus question 8: Will we see an on-field review during the final? Yes
The referee Néstor Pitana made the signal hat he was going to the sideline to review a possible penalty for handball. After watching the footage carefully he decided to award a penalty to France. The decision was controversial and sparked many discussions but regardless of whether you think the decision is correct or not, the fact is that we did have an on-field review in the final.
Spoiler | AbhishekLFC | Yes | 25 | | Bikex | Yes | 25 | | fjhoekie | Yes | 25 | | hillis91 | Yes | 25 | | Luis Leon Sanchez | Yes | 25 | | MARSUPILAMI | Yes | 25 | | Selwink | Yes | 25 | | sutty68 | Yes | 25 | | trekbmc | Yes | 25 | | Vien | Yes | 25 | | viking90 | Yes | 25 | | df_Trek | No | 0 | | FreitasPCM | No | 0 | | jandal7 | No | 0 | | jseadog1 | No | 0 | | Marcovdw | No | 0 | | Ollfardh | No | 0 | | sammyt69 | No | 0 | | Tamijo | No | 0 | | weirdskyfan64 | No | 0 |
Bonus question 1: Who will win the 2018 FIFA World Cup? France
100 points available if you managed to predict the winner before the tournament began. I would like to congratulate AbhishekLFC, Bikex, Croatia14, df_Trek, fjhoekie. Ollfardh, purepasd and Selwink on doing so!

Leading since halfway the group stage, Selwink was leading going into the final and comes out on top.

Finally, I like to thank all 29 (28, not counting myself) players for playing this game. This is more than the last two editions and I'm glad there's so much interest in this. I'll surely come back for Euro 2020, and then the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Qatar if we ever get there.
It was fun hosting this. I think the rule change to open prediction in the thread worked out pretty well. If you have any suggestions on how to improve please let me know.
Again, my congratulations to Selwink on the victory, as to fjhoekie and df_Trek for finishing on the podium. And for those who didn't do to well, I can only say: maybe next time.
Here's the Excel-file in which I calculated the scores, for those who are interested.
See you, and thanks for a wonderful game!
