Championship soccer simulation

Take the coin of your choice. Heads is Germany, tails is Spain.

Set your timer for 90 minutes.

Flip your coin! This will determine possession.

Flip your coin!
a. if it comes up heads or tails ten times in a row, the team in possession scores a goal.
b. if not, go back to step 2.
Continue until the 90 minutes have elapsed.

Continue for two to six more minutes.

In case of a tie, find a friend and stand six feet from one another. Take turns flinging the coin at each other as hard as you can. Each catch of a coin counts as a save. Do this as many time as there are shots in an official penalty-kick shootout.
