    I'm going to award it to Cuba, both because of Antepli's late vote and also because they were the top seeds from the group stage so that should count for something.

      But ... but I would have voted for Canada!

      Is there a 3rd/4th play-off? England all the way, especially now.

        No, the tournament administrator's impromptu ruling is final.

        In any case, while the USA probably will beat Cuba at least the contrast in style's gives a chance of a Lake Placid Ice Hockey style upset, only this time with socialism vanquishing capitalism. Whereas Canadian music is basically just American music without the black people.

        So, with no further ado...

            I agree that we should have a 3rd/4th playoff though, which is obviously

                1950 WC style upset, Cuba win 1-0.

                I don't believe it but hey ho.

                  USA, but the Cubans acquit themselves well. Basically two teams high in the league standings meeting each other in a world cup final after having just played each other home and away in the national cup and regional cup. (If Real Madrid and Barcelona faced each other at the World Club Championships, like.)

                  England in a walk as most of the Canadians are cheering their American friends in the other match.

                    Is there a precedent for successful tournament ends in abject anticlimax? Presumably some cricket tournament where the final was rained off.

                        I say it again, the USA should have been divvied up by states or regions (as was done with the UK). So:

                          This might be like that episode of the West Wing where the voters hide in the building and then emerge at the last minute to cause an upset. So ...

                          Final: USA 9 Cuba 1.

                          England for 3rd.
