1 day to go, time to stop with the doubts and start predicting something. Don't forget the bonus questions!
I won't send out any reminders if you miss out on a bet, it's completely your fault.
I will try to update the rankings after each match, but I'm not going to stay up until 3 in the morning (Dutch time) to watch Ivory Coast-Japan

Brazil 3 - 1 Croatia
Croatia came ahead suprisingly, but Neymar scored the equaliser before half-time. A 'dubious' (not a penalty imo) penalty for Brazil, scored by Neymar again, changed the match. Oscar sealed it at 90 minutes with the 3 - 1.
So, who is the leader. Well, we have 3!
1 | Dippofix | 30 | 2 | MARSUPILAMI | 30 | 3 | rastaff | 30 | 4 | Bikex | 15 | 5 | FroomeDog99 | 15 | 6 | I_Mayo | 15 | 7 | jseadog1 | 15 | 8 | Kritzo | 15 | 9 | Mresuperstar | 15 | 10 | Rin | 15 | 11 | Selwink | 15 | 12 | weirdskyfan64 | 15 | 13 | brewers90 | 10 | 14 | Lukaas | 10 |
Congrats Dippofix, MARSUPILAMI and rastaff! I just sorted you on alphabetical order, so don't be mad!
Facts:
*Everyone predicted a victory for Brazil
*FroomeDog99, Kritzo, Rin and weirdskyfan64 were 3 minutes away from 30 points.
So, tomorrow we have 3 more matches. Cameroon - Mexico, Netherlands - Spain and Australia - Chile. If you haven't predicted it yet, do it before kickoff!

Well, I´m so angry with the referee, because the penalty isn´t a penalty and Croatia "second goal" was goal, but he disallowed it!!!
PD: I won, but I´m so angry, because I´m Spanish and I don´t want see Brazil winning the World Cup

@MARSUPILAMI: It certanly wasn't the best match for Nishimura, although I do agree with him about the disallowed goal. But, well, this is not the place to discuss that!
- closed, much more different predictions than the first match

Mexico 1 - 0 Cameroon
A match with again some 'controversial' decisions by the referee. 3 'invalid' goals in the first half. 1 correct (Cameroon), 1 doubtful (first Mexican, would give the (assistant-) referee the benefit of the doubts) and 1 clearly wrong decision (second Mexican). Nevertheless, Mexico didn't give up, and Peralta scored a goal to win this match.
So, who scored the most points this match?
1 | jseadog1 | 30 | 2 | Kritzo | 15 | 3 | Ste117 | 15 | 4 | weirdskyfan64 | 15 | 5 | Bikex | 10 | 6 | brewers90 | 10 | 7 | Dippofix | 10 | 8 | Mresuperstar | 10 | 9 | Rin | 10 | 10 | SSJ2Luigi | 10 | 11 | FroomeDog99 | 5 | 12 | I_Mayo | 5 | 13 | Lukaas | 5 | 14 | MARSUPILAMI | 5 | 15 | rastaff | 5 | 16 | Selwink | 5 |
Congrats jseadog1. You are the only one who predicted the result right.
Facts:
*Ste117 and SSJ2Luigi participated for the first time this round, and both predicted the winner correctly
*Selwink was the only one to predict a win for Cameroon
Standings:
1 | jseadog1 | 45 | 2 | Dippofix | 40 | 3 | MARSUPILAMI | 35 | 4 | rastaff | 35 | 5 | Kritzo | 30 | 6 | weirdskyfan64 | 30 | 7 | Bikex | 25 | 8 | Mresuperstar | 25 | 9 | Rin | 25 | 10 | brewers90 | 20 | 11 | FroomeDog99 | 20 | 12 | I_Mayo | 20 | 13 | Selwink | 20 | 14 | Lukaas | 15 | 15 | Ste117 | 15 | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 10 |
jseadog1 also takes the overall lead, 5 points ahead of Dippofix. MARSUPILAMI and rastaff both scored 5 points in this match, and share the third place for now.
Later this evening, the rematch of the last World Cup final, - . Hurry up if you haven't predicted yet!

Spain 1 - 5 Netherlands
Well, I have no words for it . Completely unexpected.
Nobody scored the max. 30 points of course, but who at least predicted a win for the Dutchies.
1 | Selwink | 10 | 2 | Bikex | 5 | 3 | Dippofix | 5 | 4 | I_Mayo | 5 | 5 | Kritzo | 5 | 6 | MARSUPILAMI | 5 | 7 | Mresuperstar | 5 | 8 | Rin | 5 | 9 | brewers90 | 0 | 10 | FroomeDog99 | 0 | 11 | jseadog1 | 0 | 12 | Lukaas | 0 | 13 | rastaff | 0 | 14 | SSJ2Luigi | 0 | 15 | Ste117 | 0 | 16 | weirdskyfan64 | 0 |
Dutchman (Frisian) Selwink is the only one!
Facts:
*Selwink now correctly decided to predict the winner as only one, while the same 'tactics' failed last match.
*The most predicted result was 1 - 1, the result at half-time.
Standings:
1 | Dippofix | 45 | 2 | jseadog1 | 45 | 3 | MARSUPILAMI | 40 | 4 | Kritzo | 35 | 5 | rastaff | 35 | 6 | Bikex | 30 | 7 | Mresuperstar | 30 | 8 | Rin | 30 | 9 | Selwink | 30 | 10 | weirdskyfan64 | 30 | 11 | I_Mayo | 25 | 12 | brewers90 | 20 | 13 | FroomeDog99 | 20 | 14 | Lukaas | 15 | 15 | Ste117 | 15 | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 10 |
jseadog1 stays in the lead, but is joined by Dippofix. MARSUPILAMI is only 5 points behind in third.
- is the last match this evening. I doubt if I will watch it untill the end (depends on my mom's mood). Otherwise, the results will be the first thing I'll do when I wake up.

Chile 3 - 1 Australia
The first 3 goals scored in the first half with 2 Chilean goals in 3 minutes. Australia scored a goal, but couldn't score the equaliser. Chile scored their third and final goal in stoppage time. The referee has possibly made the least mistakes so far.
So, who scored 30 points?
1 | brewers90 | 30 | 2 | I_Mayo | 30 | 3 | Dippofix | 15 | 4 | Kritzo | 15 | 5 | Lukaas | 15 | 6 | rastaff | 15 | 7 | Ste117 | 15 | 8 | Bikex | 10 | 9 | FroomeDog99 | 10 | 10 | MARSUPILAMI | 10 | 11 | Mresuperstar | 10 | 12 | Rin | 10 | 13 | Selwink | 10 | 14 | weirdskyfan64 | 10 | 15 | jseadog1 | 5 | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 5 |
brewers90 and I_Mayo!
Facts:
*Ste117 would have received 30 points if the match didn't have stoppage time
*Most of you didn't predict an Aussie goal
Standings:
1 | Dippofix | 60 | 2 | I_Mayo | 55 | 3 | brewers90 | 50 | 4 | jseadog1 | 50 | 5 | Kritzo | 50 | 6 | MARSUPILAMI | 50 | 7 | rastaff | 50 | 8 | Bikex | 40 | 9 | Mresuperstar | 40 | 10 | Rin | 40 | 11 | Selwink | 40 | 12 | weirdskyfan64 | 40 | 13 | FroomeDog99 | 30 | 14 | Lukaas | 30 | 15 | Ste117 | 30 | 16 | SSJ2Luigi | 15 |
Dippofix stays at the top, but jseadog1 drops to third place, the head of the peleton to say it in cycling terms. I_Mayo has jumped to second place thanks to the 30 points. SSJ2Luigi is starting to fall adrift at the bottom.
4 matches tomorrow: - , - , (England) - and - .
