Here are the results of the second day of the knockout phase
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.
PS: text copy/pasted/edited from yesterday ;)
After the crazy days of the group stage, will we be doomed to duller days from now on, hence our lazy copy/paste above? This day was quite expected in terms of results and was easy to predict. Would the surprises be over in this World Cup? Hmm, tomorrow could see their return... we'll see...
Meanwhile, France and England have qualified for the quarter-finals.

As for the intro, there is not much to say today. No change in the top of the ranking given the ease of prediction.
The first three are always the same. Congratulations to @soluce07, @onlyhive and @bonobogologolo.
See you tomorrow.
If you are not listed above, you can check the Ranking Page to find out how far you are from the top.
Damn. The final stages would be a bit more easier and it seems our top guys are going to stick to that position permanently
Round of 16 is kinda easy but round of 8 and onward would be harder. Assuming all the favorites qualify from Ro16, it would be 8 strong teams that are likely to split the votes (kind of like Spain vs Germany in group stage).
True that
A day of expected results that the sweetest line to start a post of challenging, yet wonderful contest. I'm delighted for their scores and my predictions. Hope other days will be same.
the current top 11 are the one who have a shot at pole position
Too easy results for the 1st 4 matches of the round of 16. There is no change in the top 10 :)
Yeah, that was an easy one
I say top 50-75 are still in race!
Everyone is in the race as everyone will receive a prize
