HiveBuzz World Cup Contest - Round of 16 - Recap of Day 3

Here are the results of the third day of the knockout phase

Today we have not copied yesterday's text because, although it seems that the end of the surprises is confirmed, as was the case for the match Brazil vs Korea, it has not been the same for the one between Japan and Croatia.

What a magnificent match, with the first session of additional times and scoring goals in the World Cup. Once again, it's a safe bet that many had good scares, and not just on the field.

It is therefore Croatia and Brazil who are qualified for the quarter-finals.

Not many changes in the top 3. It's always the same ones who dominate the race. On the other hand, they are only 4 left with a one-badge gap. There seems to have been some skimming on that day.

See you tomorrow.
