Final Group Stage Update – Bear with me with this huge table and the long text due to a massive update with cataclysmic consequences to the overall table. Please note that participants earn 20 points per team that they predicted to reach the Last 16, plus 10 points for each 1^st placed team and 5 points for each 2^nd placed team – do check your scores to make sure they are accurate.

As can be seen, while some groups were relatively straightforward with the maximum score of 55 for most participants (B, G), others had wild deviations – only David and Malte got Group D right and the former was also the only one to impressively hedge on Japan in Group H, while Germany, Peru, Egypt, Serbia and Poland were some of the main culprits for point losses.

The top performer in this set of updates was Roberto, followed closely by David and Malte – at the other end, the worst performers were Johannes, Jose and Kevin, leading them to form the new bottom 3. David thus is the new Leader and Michael retains his 2^nd place but is now tied with Roberto. Malte, who coming into the round was 4^th from bottom, has a meteoric rise to 4^th place.

Stay tuned for an update after the two mouth-watering games tomorrow!
