Here are the results after thirteen days of competition
Finally, a day with expected results confirmed in the field. The majority of participants in our competition must be relieved at the end of this first day of the round of 16.
And yet, both the United States and Australia fought like hell. The match Argentina vs Australia was particularly tense until the last minute. What wonderful matches!

At the top of the leaderboard, @soluce07 and @onlyhive consolidate their position by having skilfully bet on the Netherlands and Argentina.
Unfortunately, @javierariascbb made a terrible mistake took the risk of betting on the USA win. That costs him a badge and knocks him out of the top three. He falls down in the group of eight participants who are hot on the heels of these two leaders and he gives up his 3rd place to @bonobogologolo.
Our contest is ruthless!
