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!

:( I need to get back to rank 👽
It feels really nice seeing myself mentioned in the top list that shows the contest is very much competitive.
Congrats on reaching the top @micheal87 🎉
You did a great guess @andyblack
The game is more and more addictive!
😁👍🏻
Thanks, u2! Good luck to everybody participating in the contest!
Congratulations no easy hit this results 😁
Congrats to all the people with the correct votes, but I think there is something very fishy going on with the big teams unable to secure a win against a much weaker team. 😵
There are good teams that choked in every World Cup. No one is unbeatable in sports, that's part of the fun.
Well said and that is why I am not using any betting sites apart from this HIVE contest! 😉
Yup, I find myself enjoying watching the games much better without the stress from betting them. 😄
Some crazy results up so far!! Great tournament.
Joining now
Welcome @fredkese
🙏🏾👍🏾
I just don't have luck with Iran :)
Competition has become very unpredictable, which makes it even more interesting to guess results.
Well done and good luck in coming days to everyone
Congratulations to the winner
More upsets still yet to come I just hope to catch up in time.
These games aren't really as predictable as before . How are the mighty falling. Congrats to those at the top.
More surprises to come..
Thanks for the fun contest @hivebuzz! Phew, like you say, nothing is certain but one certainty is that this World Cup is going to become even more tough!
Gosh, how I tumbled yesterday, am thinking of going for the underdog now & then...🤔😜

The match between Tunisia and Australia could change the ranking a lot! Good luck to all 😊
Hey. Top 5 so far.
Unbelievable.
Nice event, thanks to @hivebuzz
One question, that influences the Ranking position in the same person who have the same result.
In the event of a tie between players, the winner will be the one who first collected all his badges. This means that badges obtained during the group stage will weigh more than those in the final. If there is still a tie after applying the previous rule, the bet time (upvote) of the players will decide, the winner being the first to have made their bet (upvote).
Hi, I sent you 1 hive to join the contest, thanks!
