 Brazil 2 - 0 Mexico 
Brazil advances to the quarter-finals, something roughly 2/3rd of you predicted. FreitasPCM, Marcovdw, Tamijo and viking90 score 25 points.
Spoiler | 1 | FreitasPCM | 25 | | 1 | Marcovdw | 25 | | 1 | Tamijo | 25 | | 1 | viking90 | 25 | | 5 | Bikex | 15 | | 5 | df_Trek | 15 | | 5 | fjhoekie | 15 | | 5 | jseadog1 | 15 | | 5 | MARSUPILAMI | 15 | | 5 | Selwink | 15 | | 5 | Vien | 15 | | 12 | AbhishekLFC | 10 | | 12 | jandal7 | 10 | | 14 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 5 | | 15 | Ollfardh | 0 | | 15 | sammyt93 | 0 | | 15 | trekbmc | 0 | | 15 | weirdskyfan64 | 0 |
 Belgium 3 - 2 Japan 
A crazy match, with a conclusion nobody predicted. The group can be split into two big groups with 15 or 10 points, and trekbmc, the only not to predict a Belgain win in regular time, with 5 points.
Spoiler | 1 | df_Trek | 15 | | 1 | fjhoekie | 15 | | 1 | FreitasPCM | 15 | | 1 | jandal7 | 15 | | 1 | jseadog1 | 15 | | 1 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 15 | | 1 | Marcovdw | 15 | | 1 | sammyt93 | 15 | | 1 | Tamijo | 15 | | 10 | AbhishekLFC | 10 | | 10 | Bikex | 10 | | 10 | MARSUPILAMI | 10 | | 10 | Ollfardh | 10 | | 10 | Selwink | 10 | | 10 | Vien | 10 | | 10 | viking90 | 10 | | 10 | weirdskyfan64 | 10 | | 18 | trekbmc | 5 |
Standings (after 54 out of 64 matches):
| 1 | Selwink | 555 | | 2 | FreitasPCM | 540 | | 3 | Vien | 490 | | 4 | MARSUPILAMI | 485 | | 4 | sammyt93 | 485 | | 4 | viking90 | 485 | | 7 | Bikex | 475 | | 7 | df_Trek | 475 | | 9 | jseadog1 | 470 | | 9 | Tamijo | 470 | | 11 | fjhoekie | 460 | | 12 | TheManxMissile | 440 | | 13 | hillis91 | 435 | | 14 | AbhishekLFC | 430 | | 14 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 430 | | 14 | trekbmc | 430 | | 17 | jandal7 | 420 | | 18 | Marcovdw | 415 | | 19 | purepasd | 405 | | 20 | Ollfardh | 380 | | 21 | Aquarius97 | 330 | | 22 | weirdskyfan64 | 270 | | 23 | sutty68 | 250 | | 24 | Atlantius | 240 | | 25 | emre99 | 175 | | 26 | Arberg | 25 | | 26 | tobajas | 25 | | 28 | Croatia14 | 15 |
The gap for the lead is down to fifteen points! Selwink feels FreitasPCM's hot breath from behind. Vien a distant third just ahead of the triplet MARSUPILAMI, sammyt93 and viking90.
The final two round of 16 matches and the answer to bonus question four tomorrow. I'm talking about Sweden - Switzerland and Colombia - England. After that two restdays where you can predict the quarter-finals and a new bonus question.

 Sweden 1 - 0 Switzerland 
fjhoekie, viking0 and weirdskyfan64 with the correct result. Six people with 10 points, 8 people with 5 points and 3 with 0.
Spoiler | 1 | fjhoekie | 25 | | 1 | viking90 | 25 | | 1 | weirdskyfan64 | 25 | | 4 | FreitasPCM | 10 | | 4 | jseadog1 | 10 | | 4 | Marcovdw | 10 | | 4 | sammyt93 | 10 | | 4 | trekbmc | 10 | | 4 | Vien | 10 | | 10 | AbhishekLFC | 5 | | 10 | Bikex | 5 | | 10 | hillis91 | 5 | | 10 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 5 | | 10 | MARSUPILAMI | 5 | | 10 | Selwink | 5 | | 10 | sutty68 | 5 | | 10 | Tamijo | 5 | | 18 | df_Trek | 0 | | 18 | jandal7 | 0 | | 18 | Ollfardh | 0 |
 Colombia 1 - 1 England  (England wins after the penalties)
The English finally win a penalty shootout, and weirdskyfan64 scores another 25 points here. This time together with Tamijo.
Spoiler | 1 | Tamijo | 25 | | 1 | weirdskyfan64 | 25 | | 3 | Bikex | 15 | | 3 | MARSUPILAMI | 15 | | 5 | fjhoekie | 10 | | 5 | FreitasPCM | 10 | | 5 | jseadog1 | 10 | | 5 | Marcovdw | 10 | | 5 | sammyt93 | 10 | | 5 | Selwink | 10 | | 5 | trekbmc | 10 | | 12 | AbhishekLFC | 5 | | 12 | df_Trek | 5 | | 12 | hillis91 | 5 | | 12 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 5 | | 12 | Ollfardh | 5 | | 12 | Vien | 5 | | 18 | jandal7 | 0 | | 18 | sutty68 | 0 | | 18 | viking90 | 0 |
Bonus question 4: How many matches in the Round of 16 will be decided by a penalty shoot-out? 3
Some people said 0, some people said 1, some people said 2, no one said 3 or more. Everyone: congratulations on your zero points!
Spoiler | Bikex | 2 | 0 | | MARSUPILAMI | 2 | 0 | | Tamijo | 2 | 0 | | AbhishekLFC | 1 | 0 | | df_Trek | 1 | 0 | | FreitasPCM | 1 | 0 | | hillis91 | 1 | 0 | | jseadog1 | 1 | 0 | | Marcovdw | 1 | 0 | | purepasd | 1 | 0 | | Selwink | 1 | 0 | | Vien | 1 | 0 | | fjhoekie | 0 | 0 | | jandal7 | 0 | 0 | | Luis Leon Sanchez | 0 | 0 | | Ollfardh | 0 | 0 | | sammyt69 | 0 | 0 | | trekbmc | 0 | 0 | | viking90 | 0 | 0 |
Standings (after 56 out of 64 matches):
| 1 | Selwink | 570 | | 2 | FreitasPCM | 560 | | 3 | viking90 | 510 | | 4 | MARSUPILAMI | 505 | | 4 | sammyt93 | 505 | | 4 | Vien | 505 | | 7 | Tamijo | 500 | | 8 | Bikex | 495 | | 8 | fjhoekie | 495 | | 10 | jseadog1 | 490 | | 11 | df_Trek | 480 | | 12 | trekbmc | 450 | | 13 | hillis91 | 445 | | 14 | AbhishekLFC | 440 | | 14 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 440 | | 14 | TheManxMissile | 440 | | 17 | Marcovdw | 435 | | 18 | jandal7 | 420 | | 19 | purepasd | 405 | | 20 | Ollfardh | 385 | | 21 | Aquarius97 | 330 | | 22 | weirdskyfan64 | 320 | | 23 | sutty68 | 255 | | 24 | Atlantius | 240 | | 25 | emre99 | 175 | | 26 | Arberg | 25 | | 26 | tobajas | 25 | | 28 | Croatia14 | 15 |
FreitasPCM comes another five points closer but Selwink leads after the round of 16. viking90 jumps to third but is 50 points behind the two leaders. weirdskyfan64 scores the most points out of anyone today but that doesn't gain him any places, being far down the rankings.
Two restdays and then we start with the quarter-finals. The matches can be found in post 2 or the spoiler below. Same rules as the Round of 16 apply here, if you predict a draw specify which team will advance to the semis, no need to post the exact method or score in extra time. From now on all matches will give double points except the final, which is quadruple points.
Spoiler | July 6 | 15:00 | QF | Uruguay | France | | July 6 | 19:00 | QF | Brazil | Belgium | | July 7 | 15:00 | QF | Sweden | England | | July 7 | 19:00 | QF | Russia | Croatia |
Bonus question 5: Which quarter-final will see the most yellow cards? (25 points)
