At the top of the leaderboard, @soluce07 and @onlyhive consolidate their position by having skilfully bet on the Netherlands and Argentina.

Unfortunately, @javierariascbb made a terrible mistake took the risk of betting on the USA win. That costs him a badge and knocks him out of the top three. He falls down in the group of eight participants who are hot on the heels of these two leaders and he gives up his 3rd place to @bonobogologolo.

Our contest is ruthless!

Greetings, @hivebuzz I wouldn't say @javierariascbb was a mistake, he took a risk. It's exciting here.

agreed and these are the risks top25 people need to take now to stand out on top :D

You're right, let's look at the bright side of life. Post updated.

I agree with onlyhive below that javierariascbb was not a mistake but a risk
which everybody in top 3 badge categories will need to start taking to reach the top3
and those risky predictions will sometime make you stand out or fall you back in the crowd :D

!PIZZA

You are right, if his choice was well thought out, it's more a risk than a mistake.

🍕 PIZZA !

I gifted $PIZZA slices here:

The underdogs really fought well, some very tense moments indeed!
The question always is, which of the top teams are going to drop out, especially in this unpredictable World Cup that's left many in shock🤔
Thank you for running this exciting contest🤩

the leaderboard starts to look like Splinterlands leaderboard, harsh, ruthless and no tolerance for mistake

Awesome participation, love this contest, and finally a day of favourites winning! Most should have picked up their badges yesterday!

One question.... Why is England shortened to GBR? England isn't Great Britain, England is ENG.

GBR is Great Britain, SCOTLAND, WALES and those english folk.

Pet peeve, maybe it's just me...
