They think it's all over

I caught up with David, the winner of World Cup Predictions to ask him a few questions about his success, and award his $500 prize!

David, what's your reaction on finding out you've won?
Pretty chuffed to come top of the world - didn't think I'd have a hope after the first 4-5 games but the results from there fell my way.

Did you expect to do this well?
No, usually get more right than wrong but didn't think I'd have a hope in such a big, global competition.

Why were you supporting Italy in the final? Did you think they stood a good chance of beating France?
Picked Italy to win as I believed the champions would be a European team. Would have liked England to do better and predicted they would make the final having seen off France - didn't see them having quite what it takes to take the cup, so went for Italy.

How long did it take you to make your predictions?
5 minutes!


That's it for World Cup Predictions. Congratulations to David and thanks to all 15000 of you who made World Cup Predictions such a success. As you may know, the website was run single-handedly by me as a hobby (sadly, this isn't my real job :D)
