Oh no! We thought we'd reached the final, but the scores are all level after extra time. We know what that means in England! A penalty shoot-out, followed by a plane journey home. But it doesn't have to be that way for you. Using your guile and wits, you should be able to stop those marauding Germans, save a few of their pens and hit the target every time with ours. Here's some examples from the past to inspire you: Germany (1982), Brazil (1986), South Korea (2002), Wales (any year), Belgium AND Spain (1986), Ghana (2010), Uruguay (2010), France (2006), England (2006), Ireland (1990), Japan (2010) and Mexico (1994)
When you find the cache, take a note of the two flags you will find within. These will help you to find out the location for The Final! Please leave the flags for the next cacher and hide the container, a black plastic pot, as you found it, preferably using the local flora as camouflage! Good luck!
