Thank you, Richard-Harrow and JohnDutton for acknowledging my teams as the competitors that they truly are. If they can win the title of “worst two teams” then that just show they can win anything. They possess that winners edge. I’m not giving up on them. South Korea, Ecuador - these are countries I know the name of. You know what soccer players I know the name of? Mezi. Ronaldo. That’s right, these 4 greats all exist within the same atmosphere. I’m feeling confident. The kind of quiet confident that doesn’t need to throw any more millions of dollars away on side bets.

Secondly? Over forty million dollars has already been handed directly to Norella for safe keeping.

Could you hand it to someone less likely to die to a rogue? 

Perhaps someone invincible?

Someone without a gambling problem?

Someone everybody loves? A man’s best friend if you will…

	May 27, 14:27:45	You PICKPOCKETED! Norella. You took $15,000.
	May 27, 14:22:41	You PICKPOCKETED! Matty. You took $15,000.
	May 27, 13:13:33	You PICKPOCKETED! Richard-Harrow. You took $15,000.

Seems legit...

How about Carlo_Tiscalli?  His lineage will make sure someone gets the prize money.  Historically, this hasn't always been a person who has entered the contest.

I, for one, applaud this innovation.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Prepotente screamed and walked away.

Do you have any teams left... I can't remember if I am playing or not. 

I am hoping for a Spain win and Oyarzabal as top scorer

Thank you HughJanus for not only giving me France in the sweepstake, as requested. But like any good bookmaker paying out on the obvious winning bet early. The goodwill gesture will not be forgotten next time I’m punting!

As PropertyManager so eloquently put it after you parked the cash with Norella:

Could you hand it to someone less likely to die to a rogue? 

Well, given my invincibility I am indeed a good choice. Although I suspect not too many notches below her in terms of target practice for a rogue. I will therefore hold the cash in credit form for the time being and turn it back into cash shortly after France smash Argentina in the final in a couple of weeks time, in order to purchase myself some new dog toys and a nice new kennel with all the ModCons.

All I would say is that next time you send me $41m maybe give me a heads-up. I only just noticed the cash and almost instinctively splurged it down at g0d’s Motor City Casino!

I will give you $8 billion for your lucky France slip BuddyBigPaw and if you DO NOT agree I will just pickpocket you and take it for free

This seems like an inside job. If Norella dies in the next few days it's clear to me that Hugh knew about it.

Let's kill him now as a precaution.

We should also kill Norella just to make the prophecy come true.

If anyone needs me I'll be on the grassy knoll 

I couldn't handle the pressure any longer. It's been affecting my daily life to handle a fortune like that. My friends told me I haven't been the same lately. I asked HughJanus to give the funds to someone more capable and trustworthy.

I think BuddyBigPaw is a great pick. A thief wouldn't go looking for $41m inside a dog house, but I also know that dog house is leased from PropertyManager and if the funds goes missing, I say we kill PropertyManager before he flees to a new city as he usually does when he's involved in a scandal.
