Here are the results after three days of competition
This third day was a bloodbath day for forecasters.
The first surprise was the match Argentina vs Saudi Arabia. While Argentina was the big favorite, against all odds it was Saudi Arabia that won. Congratulations to @hopestylist and @irisworld who successfully took the risk to vote for this team and were the only two to get a badge for this match!
The next surprise was the match Denmark vs Tunisia. While once again the vast majority of participants bet on a victory for Denmark, only around twenty of them bet on a draw... and got their badge. Congratulations!
A third very intense match where both teams failed to stand out was Mexico vs Poland. Again, it is the minority who bet on a draw that wins.
The only match easy to predict and which kept its promises was France vs Australia. An overwhelming victory for France as well as for the happy bettors.
We hope you enjoy this contest and have as much fun as we have. Once again, thank you all for your positive comments and feedback.

Thanks @hivebuzz it's so much fun
And your sister picked Saudi to beat Argentina, the biggest World Cup shock ever!
Wow that is cool
Its getting too confused this time in predicting which team should win.
I think I'm losing all matches where the result is a tie and Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match result was too surprising.
I'm still in shock with Argentina 😂
I mean, who would have imagined that? It's really surprising.
I hope we don't lose too much of our bets as we proceed 🥺 but can we be so sure about that... Never!
Yeah we can't be so sure about that and its nice to see Argentina won the second match.
Thank you @merit.ahama
Eya, undokah!!!

I guess I will but sadly I don't even have the time to even start watching it because I'm not at home, I traveled to visit some family friends and they don't watch Football too 😂😂
You're welcome @hopestylist. Good look for the rest of the contest.
This is becoming even more interesting, by the day, congratulations to the top winners and to everyone for their participation.
Can't believe I didn't follow my mind to vote a tie for Denmark's game 🥲

Yesterday was not favorable for me. Those teams that I voted for, failed me and their citizentry. But, I'm hopeful
Good luck for the next days @sammyhive

Awesome! This is really a fun contest. I think I accidentally missed one of the matches.
Of 397 people only 2 bet that Arabia was going to beat Argentina and THEY WERE RIGHT 😂 (I'M STILL CRYING FOR THE RESULT).

All I know about football is Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar 😅 That's all! One more thing Ballon d'or 😇😇 But it made it to top 13☺️☺️. Data is the bigg winner!
Wow well done! 😊 I love this contest, it's very exciting and I am happy because of my 5 badges.😊 My boss went to Qatar today to support our country Serbia tomorrow, there is great enthusiasm and I expect them to win, although it may not be a realistic expectation🤣
