The Winners of the 2014 World Cup Challenge

Congratulations to Salil Bali and his charity, Grameen Foundation, for winning my inaugural World Cup Challenge.  A donation of $250 has been made in Salil’s name to Grameen Foundation.

Salil won by correctly picking Germany to win and The Oranje (aka The Netherlands) to come in 3rd.

For those suffering withdrawals from 3-a-day matches, see the top 15 goals of the World Cup.

In case you’re curious, Gurinder Grewal won the 2015 Womens’ World Cup Challenge. Now, we’re just waiting for 2018.
