Could we get a few more votes, pretty please?

Since everyone can probably tell it's mine I need to confess now, because I want to correct an error, but I don't want to reset the Poll. Serbia actually beat Germany 1-nil, so it was a true game of Rock-Paper-Scissors with each beating the other.

I will vote right at the end in case that vote needs to break a tie.

It seems silly to keep forging ahead
With the voting that's here in this thread.
There's been voting thrice
Yet the Poll says it's twice,
So I hereby declare this Poll dead.

I'll lock this thread to stop any more attempted votes. See the new poll posted at https://wordcraft.infopop.cc/ev...10600694/m/894108656
