Cameroon vs Netherlands 0-3
Denmark vs Japan 2-1

Why was I so stupid to change my Cameroon vs Netherlands prediction
I lost an exact prediction

Anyway, it won't stop me from changing predictions again

Very few points earned yesterday, considering there were group predictions at stake. Rob Worham wins the day with only 16 points. Proviisori shockingly comes in second with 15 points, despite not making any match predicitons!

Azzaman still ranks first, but his lead to chegel has been reduced to a single point. SuperBeaverInc is now 4 points behind chegel.

A lot of points to go around today, no fewer than 15 people got full marks on their group predictions. Apolyton did especially well: all but 2 of the top 7 for the day are PolyTubbies, among whom the three guys that share first place: Dauphin, Werna and Imran with each 28 points.

In the overall ranking things are still very, very close near the top. Azzaman still leads the pack with a 3-point lead on chegel today. North King joins SuperBeaverInc in 3rd place 1 point behind that. In fact, the gap between #2 and #6 is only 3 points, as is the gap between #8 and #14.
