Table updated.

Yago aced the third round of group stages. And, Ach got the highest points in the Round of 16.

Battle at the top is tight between GP and Yago.

Relegation battle on full swing between Zen, Santi, Burn, and yours truly. :arse fan:


One thing, however, I think there's still some confusion regarding the points:

- 3 points for the correct score (90 min)
The score will apply only for 90 mins.

- 1 point for the correct result (120 min + penalty)
You will get a point for predicting the winner at ET or penalties - if the game has to go there.

- 1 point for the correct goalscorer (first).
This is clear-cut.

- 1 point for predicting if the game goes to ET/penalties
A point will be awarded if you predict the match to go to ET. You don't have to point out if it's penalties or just extra time. However, there's a loophole here, as you can predict every game to go to ET/penalties, so 1 point will be deducted if you predict wrongly. Be careful. You don't get points for predicting that a game won't go to ET/penalties; only for predicting if the game goes to ET/penalties, whichever.

Remember:

- 90 mins for the correct score and make sure to point out who wins if you think the game will end in a draw in those 90s mins. Your winner will be the one who you think will win - whether after 90 mins or 120 mins + penalty.

Dude, Belgium might be awesome, but putting 7 goals past Brazil? Isn't that a bit too much? :think:

To be fair safe of 3-4 players, the current Brazil squad is completely different than the one that got thumped by Germany 4 years ago.

Think Marcelo and Fernandinho are the only players from the current squad who started against Germany in 2014.

Players like Casemiro, Firmino, Coutinho, Jesus, Filipe Luís, Neymar, etc weren't even in the squad.

I would love for Belgium to put up 7 though. Just so we can see Neymar really cry, instead of fake crying like he's been doing. That guy is a disgrace!! He's probably worse than CR7 was in his Manc days and that's saying something.
