Hello dear friends, the group stage is finally over, the World Cup will enter the knockout phase starting tomorrow. You already know the results, Brazil and Portugal produced a disappointing goalless draw, Ivory Coast beat North Korea 3-0 but they are out of the tournament. Spain went past Chile 2-1 but both sides qualified since Switzerland failed to get more than a 0-0 draw against Honduras. Let’s see how you did today.
Majk and Burak_gs are today’s heroes, Majk recorded 6 points and closed in on Lye while Burak_gs amassed no less than 13 points and stormed up the table. If the contest would end today Majk would receive a copy of Football Manager 2011. Unfortunately for him the contest isn’t over yet and everybody is still in with a good chance :)
