HiveBuzz World Cup Contest - Recap of Day 11

Here are the results after eleven days of competition

Guess what, all matches today went as expected by our punters. No surprises. Incredible isn't it?
Nah, we're kidding...

The first two matches of the day went exactly the opposite of predictions with Australia and Tunisia winning against respective favorites Denmark and France. Congratulations to @edwing357 and @irisworld for being the only two to bet on a victory for Tunisia!

Fortunately, the two matches following them went as expected. Victory of Argentina against Poland and of Mexico against Saudi Arabia, otherwise we could have claimed a day of pure madness.

Little change at the top of the ranking except that the first 4, @onlyhive, @goliathus, @andyblack and @soluce07, have exactly the same number of badges. Only their speed of voting decides between them.

Behind them, there are a good fifty who are only a few badges apart. They will have to be vigilant over the next few days.
