I bet they were...... good luck, but I am counting on a 2-0 to Brazil.

Well, well......
Dude...are you quoting yourself? Don't you know that's poor form? [:-]

Vis-a-vis the quoting of one's own post:
Listen colonial chappie, whilst in certain circumstances quoting oneself is indeed considered bad form on an internet forum, that quite evidently is not the case in this particular situation.
If one were to look at this in terms of a conversation, we have a situation where a response to a comment by Party A (in this case Oberst_Klink) was eloquently made by party B (in this case, the handsome, suave, sophisticated international lover, witty raconteur, bon viveur and all round thoroughly good egg, warspite1), The response from Party B invited a possible response from the other party, but as there was no question from Party B, there was in fact no compunction for Party A to respond. However, even if Party A was wanting to further the conversation (which of course he would given the top-hole conversationalist he was conversing with), something then happened such that Party B was compelled to comment further, thus in effect seemingly quoting himself. In this case we had the wholly unexpected situation where Party A was seemingly about to win a sum of cash (GBP the Queen's sterling, one earnestly hopes) due to the fact that two components of his prediction had come to pass. Party B merely made the wholly appropriate "well, well" comment as an expectorant for what could be about to come.
Sadly for Party A, what was about to come was not another Croatian goal, but something of a colossal faux pas from the referee that handed Brazil a second goal courtesy of a dodgy penalty decision.
I trust that has clarified the situation, what?
