So Mount Manera only snuck into the finals stage and manage to go on to win it. Really Humble deserves the most credit I'd say, found his scoring boots when it really mattered. 6 goals in 3 finals games.
And this is why I disagree with Finals Football tbh. Play 3 good games at the end of the season, and the mediocre 3/4 counts for nothing. Anyway, grats to them.
