Day 21:The Dutch and Argentina march into the Semi Finals

Here is the emotion. Wesley Sneijder, Stefan de Vrij, Daley Blind, Jeremain Lens, Ron Vlaar, Dirk Kuyt, Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben of the Netherlands celebrate after defeating Costa Rica in a penalty shootout during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Quarter Final at Arena Fonte Nova on July 5.

Semi Final for the first time in 24 years,

Rayment was the only player on Day 21 who predicted both the outcome and the score in the Netherlands v Costa Rica match on Sunday morning, while Andy and Aramis predicted the scores for the earlier game between Argentina and Belgium. Nice work mates, and, son. At the top of the ladder there has been no additional points gained by our leaders, which means that Luke is on the brink, with three matches remaining and a seven point gap between himself and both Benjamin and Cochineas, of achieving victory. At the Euros in 2010, he fell three points short behind Jason T, but it seems nothing will stop him in Brazil. Time will tell if he can do what his EPL team fell so desperately close of achieving this season.

Your destiny to become Archon is in your hands Luke.

If I get everyone's tips before Wednesday's first Semi Final I'll let you all know here what the leaders have gone for just to add more spice to the competition, and their nerves, because second and third positions are far from guaranteed.
