Here are the results after six days of competition
What is certain is that there is nothing certain in this World Cup.
Once again we were treated to a huge surprise with the Wales vs Iran match. Iran won the game against all odds, which meant that all Wales supporters did not get their badges. Congrats to the 24 participants who successfully bet for Iran.
The same goes for the Netherlands vs Ecuador match. The first was favorite cur the match ended with a draw. Congrats to the 48 participants who successfully bet for a draw.
Finally, as things always seem to go in threes, we also ended the day with a draw in the England vs United States match although the favorite was England. Congrats to the 22 participants who successfully bet for a draw.

Yesterday's leader @bombus got it wrong three times today. Fatal errors that allow @andyblack to catch up and take the lead in the ranking.
Some were able to pull out of the game and climb the rankings while others tumbled. The battle for first place is going to be fierce in the next few days!
