Here are the results after twelve days of competition
Well, now you know the song: another day... surprises... losing favorites... disappointed punters... the ranking upside down...
TLDR; after beating Germany, Japan defeats Spain and goes to the round of 16, just like Morocco. Germany is eliminated, as is Belgium. Nothing surprising, is it?
We feel like we've been copying and pasting since the beginning of the competition. So, no hassle, let's get straight to the results.

Lo and behold, we have a new leader. Congratulations to @soluce07 who climbed to first place. He who complained yesterday of always being late to bet, his insight is now being rewarded.
Following him, 5 participants who have the same score and who are fighting for the top of the ranking: @onlyhive, @andyblack, @jats-0, @justfavour,@javierariascbb and @goliathus.
We had never seen that! It may be hot for the rest of the competition!
