Here are the results of the second day of the knockout phase
Finally, a day with expected results confirmed in the field. The majority of participants in our competition must be relieved at the end of this first day of the round of 16. PS: text copy/pasted/edited from yesterday ;)
After the crazy days of the group stage, will we be doomed to duller days from now on, hence our lazy copy/paste above? This day was quite expected in terms of results and was easy to predict. Would the surprises be over in this World Cup? Hmm, tomorrow could see their return... we'll see...
Meanwhile, France and England have qualified for the quarter-finals.
