HiveBuzz World Cup Contest - Recap of the last day of the group stage.
Here are the results after thirteen days of competition
What a last day of the group stage! What a last day of the group stage! We will not have been disappointed and will have been again rewarded with two nice surprises:
- Korea Republic's victory against Portugal and its qualification for the round of 16.
- Even more unexpected is Cameroon's victory against Brazil. A feat, even if they do not qualify. Congratulations to the 7 participants who believed in this team: @fortune1m, @irisworld, @misschance, @sahrotaar, @themanualbot, @thiagorewards and @ugochill!
The group stage is over and we will now enter the knockout stage. There are only 16 badges left to earn and it's jostling at the top of our leaderboard.
Clearly, this world cup is really not trivial!

Behind them, there are 8 participants with only a gap badge, @andyblack, @jats-0, @viniciotricolor, @loonatic, @mk992039, @furiousfighter, @sodom-lv and @bonobogologolo, who are on the job to clear a place a bit higher.

This is now becoming more interesting.... Tables getting flipped on each other after each match! Woah. Let's see who's Gonna stand on top at the end.
Thanks for the report!
You're welcome @idksamad78699. Have fun!
I think I lost every single prediction today. Bloody hell, this is one hell of a world cup
It certainly is😭 I'm starting to think I should pick the most unlikely outcome.
Exactly my thoughts. Everything just seems to go sideways
Hellish as hell 😈
Now things get more serious, good luck everyone
Good luck to you @viniciotricolor

aie aie, cela devient serrer !
Eh oui, il va falloir ne pas se rater!
If they told me that at the end of the group stage I would be in the top-3 I would not believe it, I hope I can stay there until the end of the World Cup. Let's go!
All the best to everyone.
well done 🍻
Thank you!
Well done, I've dropped dramatically in the last 2 days! Need some tips 😜
Well done @javierariascbb. Try to stay up there ;)
I was in 23 yesterday, and I won one prediction today, should be at 24, but still at 23
We checked your bets. You only made 3 of them and they all were wrong
KOR-PRT -> PRT -> Korea Won
SRB-CHE -> TIE -> Switzerland Won
CMR-BRA -> BRA -> Cameroon Won
It's incredible to be in the top 3 when there were some crazy results on the last day of each group. Good luck to everyone for the play-offs
Well done, there certainly has been some crazy results! Will be interesting to see what's going to happen next 🤔
ONce again, congrats @onlyhive
so much can still go wrong. But I have high hopes and above all a lot of fun. also stess haha
!WEED
Glad to read you have fun (and stress 😉)
@hivebuzz!
@loonatic passed you the virtual joint!If you do not want to receive these comments, please reply with !STOP
Congratulations to all of you on the top list. Thank you so much @hivebuzz for the beautiful badges so far, I've really enjoyed the guess work and I'm happy I've been lucky so far to get above 10 beautiful badges.
Good luck to everybody, you all are doing really well 🥰
Thank you @hopestylist
You're always welcome hivebuzz, you are doing really well 🥰
Congratulations to the table toppers. It's not easy at all
Sure thing, the most difficult World Cup to predict.
Yes oh. I congratulate all the winners
i managed to miss all 4 today. i think there should be a badge for that :)
😂
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
A World Cup full of surprises!
I hope that from the Round of 16 onwards, logic and the weight of the great teams will prevail, because otherwise we will have an unprecedented Final like Senegal vs. Japan or Australia vs. Morocco.
Yes, it's been totally unpredictable.
Wow.. progressed one more step...
😀
One badge at a time... to the top! 🚀
Hi @hivebuzz, there is no option to select a draw in the next 2 matches?
Back to tbe games played, my favourite teams really dropped me, I'm now way way down 😭
A draw is not a possible "final result" in the knock-out stage
🙈🙈🙈 I did not realize it was at knockout stage🤣
I'd better go back to the cooking pots😂
Felicitaciones a los que van en la primera fila.
Top 4 ?!?!?!?
I can't believe it. Good luck everyone for the last run.
Hop Swiss : )
Good luck @bonobogologolo!
