World Cup Contest Rankings and Weekend Fixtures

Hello dear friends, another decisive World Cup day is over and the verdict was pretty harsh on the likes of Italy and Denmark. Slovakia beat Italy 3-2 to qualify for the round of sixteen, New Zealand failed to qualify but will exit the tournament undefeated after recoding a 0-0 draw against Paraguay. Holland proved their strength yet again by beating Cameroon 2-1 while Denmark were stunned by incisive Japan, the Asians won 3-1. Let’s see how these results affected our contest rankings.

Not too many points scored today. In fact, Markjulian was the only one to get an exact score today, Holland‘s 2-1 victory over Cameroon. That pushed him further up the table and the race is getting even closer. Lye still sits top of the table but Majk and Sears closed in over the past few days.

Please let me know if you notice any errors in the points calculation, thanks.
