 Uruguay 0 - 2 France 
The first match where 50 points are on the table. jseadog1 and sutty68 both take the opportunity to score some valuable extra points.
Spoiler | 1 | jseadog1 | 50 | | 1 | sutty68 | 50 | | 3 | AbhishekLFC | 30 | | 3 | Bikex | 30 | | 3 | df_Trek | 30 | | 3 | fjhoekie | 30 | | 3 | Ollfardh | 30 | | 3 | Selwink | 30 | | 3 | Vien | 30 | | 10 | hillis91 | 20 | | 10 | MARSUPILAMI | 20 | | 10 | sammyt93 | 20 | | 10 | Tamijo | 20 | | 14 | FreitasPCM | 10 | | 14 | Marcovdw | 10 | | 14 | trekbmc | 10 | | 17 | jandal7 | 0 | | 17 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 0 | | 17 | viking90 | 0 | | 17 | weirdskyfan64 | 0 |
 Brazil 1 - 2 Belgium 
Belgium knocks out the final remaining non-European team. hillis1 and viking90 predicted the scoreline correctly.

Standings (after 58 out of 64 matches):
| 1 | Selwink | 620 | | 2 | FreitasPCM | 580 | | 3 | viking90 | 560 | | 4 | jseadog1 | 550 | | 5 | MARSUPILAMI | 545 | | 5 | sammyt93 | 545 | | 7 | Bikex | 535 | | 7 | fjhoekie | 535 | | 7 | Vien | 535 | | 10 | df_Trek | 530 | | 11 | Tamijo | 520 | | 12 | hillis91 | 515 | | 13 | trekbmc | 480 | | 14 | AbhishekLFC | 470 | | 15 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 460 | | 16 | Marcovdw | 445 | | 17 | jandal7 | 440 | | 17 | TheManxMissile | 440 | | 19 | Ollfardh | 425 | | 20 | purepasd | 405 | | 21 | weirdskyfan64 | 340 | | 22 | Aquarius97 | 330 | | 23 | sutty68 | 315 | | 24 | Atlantius | 240 | | 25 | emre99 | 175 | | 26 | Arberg | 25 | | 26 | tobajas | 25 | | 28 | Croatia14 | 15 |
In this phase a good or bad day makes a lot more difference. Selwink had a good day and extends his lead over FreitasPCM by 30 points to a gap of 40. viking90 is closing in, and jseadog1 makes the jump from tenth to fourth.
The other two quarter-finals are tomorrow (Sweden - England and Russia - Croatia), and after that we're already at the semi-finals.

Too bad I predicted Uruguay-France so early, still had some hopes that Cavani would play, without him I knew it would be very hard for them 
But anyway correct score predicted in the 2nd game and still fighting for podium |

 Sweden 0 - 2 England 
It's getting closer to coming home guys. hillis91 and MARSUPILAMI predicted 0 - 2 and score 50 points.
Spoiler | 1 | hillis91 | 50 | | 1 | MARSUPILAMI | 50 | | 3 | df_Trek | 30 | | 3 | fjhoekie | 30 | | 3 | FreitasPCM | 30 | | 3 | sammyt93 | 30 | | 3 | Selwink | 30 | | 3 | Tamijo | 30 | | 3 | weirdskyfan64 | 30 | | 10 | Luis Leon Sanchez | 20 | | 10 | Marcovdw | 20 | | 10 | sutty68 | 20 | | 13 | Bikex | 10 | | 13 | jandal7 | 10 | | 13 | Ollfardh | 10 | | 16 | AbhishekLFC | 0 | | 16 | jseadog1 | 0 | | 16 | trekbmc | 0 | | 16 | Vien | 0 | | 16 | viking90 | 0 |
 Russia 1 - 1 Croatia  (Croatia wins after penalties)
The hosts are knocked out. MARSUPILAMI won't have much sorrow about this because he scores another 50 points.

Bonus question 5: Which quarter-final will see the most yellow cards? Russia - Croatia
A bit unfair given this match had an extra 30 minutes, but I didn't mention this in the question. With 5 yellow cards this match just edges out Uruguay - France and Brazil - Belgium which had 4 each. Seven people answered correctly and score 25 points.

Selwink stays in the lead but the story of the day is MARSUPILAMI scores 100 points for two correct predictions and moves up to second place, five points ahead of FreitasPCM!
Two rest days and then the semi-finals. I guess you know the teams involved but they're below as well, together with the classic sixth bonus question which was also asked in the two previous editions.
| July 10 | 19:00 | SF | France | Belgium | | July 11 | 19:00 | SF | Croatia | England |
Bonus question 6: Who will referee the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final? (25 points)
Deadline is the first semi-final, France - Belgium. The officials are usually announced 48 hours before the match, and to help you, here's a list of referees still active at the tournament

Don't the refs for the final get announced with the semi final as well?

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
