During the Copa America we had a challenge for our users together with our proud Gold Sponsor, The House of Caibo Let us introduce you to the winner. Philip Fjaestad, 37, from Sweden.
Thanks. Pure joy, it's amazing!
An old friend of mine asked me “out of the blue” if I wanted to participate in the Euro Cup competition that was held on SportsWizard and I did. Later the Copa Challange competition was announced on SportsWizard so I decided to give it my best shot and Effort!
I followed my gut feeling in the beginning, I was pretty fast with my decisions, I got a few correct scores to propel me to the top from the start of the tournament. Right after the opening match (2-0 Argentina - Canada it just felt like it was doable to reach top 10) and the hunt for points was on its way. Later on in the group stages I put down a lot of time reading statistics and the outcome of earlier matches for each team. I follow football and sports in general. Maybe it helped a bit to have played football for some time and a few other sports and also being a bit of a gambler (game of choice is without a doubt poker - Texas Holdem) might have helped.
Luckily the saying, there are always holes to fill would be classic. I’m gifting some of it away, call it a caddyfee! Absolutley taking the misses out for a nice dinner, hoping restaurant Frantzén in Stockholm, has a table and accepts crypto as a payment. If not I’ll just sleep on the prize for a while. The win itself is a pleasure! Bragging rights for the rest of the year has been accumulated to say the least!
It’s a thrill!
Absolutely! I would say let the best team win, Argentina are defending champions and world cup champions. Colombia was an equally good team throughout the tournament and even faced better opponents in my opinion, the runners up may have lacked a bit of experience from the big finals but it could have ended in any Way. I was mostly hoping that the ones chasing my lead hadn’t picked the right outcome. I concluded that they both had a draw with both teams to score. So it was smooth sailing from that point of view!
Lautauro Martinez MVP for Argentina, “super sub” with 4 important goals. James Rodrigues as a runner up based on the outcome in the final.
When the referee blew the whistle in the final game after 90+4 minutes and the scoreboard read 0-0! Not the most thrilling ending for football fans around the globe but for me it was perfect!
Team SportsWizard would like to thank Philip and all the other participants in the Copa Challange. Enjoy your summer!
