Musa saving Nigeria with two great goals, Iceland was looking good but Nigeria with the 3-5-2 dominated the 2nd half.
Good news for Argetina is that Nigeria won. Bad news for Argentina is that they play against Nigeria in the last match. Iceland, Nigeria, and Argentina, have the chance to qualify to the round of 16 in the last match..crazy!

Wasn't expecting Nigeria to be the ones winning so fair play to them if anything I had a feeling Iceland would be the ones to win. Damn, I really need to get some correct scores in as I'm quickly becoming irrelevant in this. Correct results just aren't the way to earn pts you need to hit a few scores.
Don't worry to much, I have been in the last 2 places since the beginning of the pool but I am not worried. A Joker game if hited right can give you up to 600 or more points so it can make you climb many many positions with only one game. Find a few other correct scores and you will see yourself fighting in the top from the bottom. I will take a screenshot of my position as if it happens I reach top positions in the end of the tournament I will put up the famous meme:
"Started from the bottom, now I am here"

Nigeria are one nil up. I was going to go with 0-0 but went with 1-1 in the end so hoping for an equalizer from Iceland. It's been pretty even so far to be fair.
Spoke too early as they've just scored another.

I had it 0-1 for Iceland and as long as it was 0-1 in the predictor you get 70+ points for predicting the exact number of goals but Nigeria scored another and left me with 0 points for this game too. Sounds like I will have to wait for tomorrow games to get some point as I believe Serbia vs Switzerland will not be a good game to watch and to make points, yet I used the Joker for this game.
Hey guys, I’ve been in Vegas since last Friday. Fly back today, haven’t really had time to post but obviously my predictions were already in. I didn’t get time to do most of the bonus point predictions like ‘who will have the most shots on target’.
I’m in 10th place which is pretty crap, might have been better if I was able to do the bonus stuff.
tokeweed is killing it at the top, congrats.

Nigeria haven't had a shot on target yet, but sounds like they are putting in a real effort in defense. Hopefully, they can hang on to give me some points 
I'm not watching the game, and if sigurdsson is playing then I'll be expecting him to bang in a free kick at the dead of the game.

I had 3-0 down. They've been very average so far.
What is wrong with Brasil, could not score a goal for 90 minutes to a very mediocre team like Costa Rica. I had it 2-0 as a prediction but then changed it to 4-0 as I thought this to be the easiest opponent for Brazil. I was once again deceived by the big name of Brazil. I should have learned that big names don't behave well in this world cup until now.
^ Ah good, thanks. I misread the news...
^ Ah that explains it. You already used it for this round of matches. I think FIFA should call it 'match rounds' instead of 'match days'.
Yeah, that's annoying. Feel like I've wasted it now. Really need to try take advantage of this given how poorly I'm doing.
And yes, I'm aware that ARG is out. But Messi could still go wild imo.
They're not out yet.
Argentina played shit. There should have been some red cards in that match.

Nope. It turns a different colour when you chose it. See below. The last one I was able to choose was the Spain game and it gives you a golden border once you click the Joker hat. Now there's no joker symbol on yesterdays or today's games:

What does mean "5 Challengers" on the screenshot? You can see others' choices due to being a creator of our League or it's some another way to collect points, which I don't know about?)
I can only see them after the game (as I'm sure the others can as well). It's only for the five people who accepted my one vs one challenge as well that I accidentally sent out at first instead of the invite to join the group.

I agree calling it match rounds would avoid confusion I initially thought it was per day.
Cool! Congrats. The result was def shocking. I had the match at 1 - 1. And I was just teasing when I said Messi will get a hat trick. Lol.
Anyway, it looks like you won the side bet. Post your BTC wallet and I'll send the payment right after Argentina's final game next week if Messi doesn't score a single goal (I'm still hoping for that Messi hat trick, which hopefully could hold).
And yes, I'm aware that ARG is out. But Messi could still go wild imo.
The thing is Messi has never really been that impressive for ARG in my opinion. Well, he hasn't been shit obviously has he is Messi after all, but he hasn't reached the form that he has when he plays for Barcelona.

^ I could and already did, maybe you already used yours...?
Anyway, Trofo! This is the match! Messi hat trick incoming...
Messi didn't even show for the match let alone scored a goal. Argentina is not a team and it showed. Few close ups of Maradona, Messi and Sanpaoli were really priceless.
I am from Croatia you know. You will receive screen shot of my ticket for this game on PM tomorrow so I can show you how much I believed in Croatia
I played Croatia to win and over 2.5 goals. To be fair I expected a result of 3:1 with Messi scoring one goal. I am too drunk to bother at the moment....

I also got the 1-1 correct. I really need to start getting more scores right because it's the only way you can win. You only get a few points for guessing the correct winner whereas you get 200-300 points for getting the score right. If you chose it as a joker you double it as well. Has anyone been able to choose a joker for today's games? It's still not letting me choose any now.

Got my eye on my Iceland game today. I've predicted a bore draw as Iceland are pretty good at defending. But, I'm not sure on the quality of Nigeria to be honest, but have gone for a gamble on the score to dry, and get some points back.
It's pretty easy to miss, but under every score prediction there should be what looks like a jokers hat. You will need to click that on the game you want double points on. My extensions were also blocking the image so if you have extensions on your browser,and you cant see the joker hat make sure to disable them.
Good to know about this. Will be checking it out. Hopefully, with that, I could have the chance to have higher points 
I was also surprised by what happened to Argentina and Croatia.

I didn't even know about the joker feature just logged in to check it. You get a chance to double your points on one match per match day? That's actually incredible. Can't believe I missed this little feature before.
I definitely didn't see the Argentina, and Croatia result coming that's for sure.

I got the 'joker' for Argentina 2 - 0 Croatia

Congrats! Croatia played absolutely brilliant today (I'd say it was a perfect performance), especially the midfield, Rakitic was MOTM. But Luka Modric though, best midfielder in the world, what a goal.Many are saying that there is Messi and many average players. But they have Aguero, Dybala, Banega (who isn't even playing) and others.
I wouldn't say average players, most of them are elite players who play in top teams.And you can have the best attackers in the world (Aguero, Dybala, Messi, Higuain, Di Maria, etc), but if you have a poor midfield with a 34yo Mascherano, a shit defence, a goalkeeper like Caballero, and a manager who makes questionable decisions then stuff like this tend to happen.
I can't find words to describe team of Argentina. It's not sensation that they lost, but it's shameful how they played tonight.Many are saying that there is Messi and many average players. But they have Aguero, Dybala, Banega (who isn't even playing) and others. It's more than enough to reach next round.
And Otamendi must be banned for kicking ball into Rakitic head...
EDIT
@Tofo, congratulations, it was pleasure to watch how Croatia played tonight.
