MD 11: Aramis takes out Round 3 on another dramatic evening

 

Contrasting emotions; South Korea advance at the expense of Luis Suarez's Uruguay  

Another dramatic evening of Round 3 matches, with South Korea, in injury time, hitting a winner (2:1) on the break against Portugal. Along with Portugal, South Korea has progressed into the Round of 16. That is now three nations from Asia qualifying for the Round of 16 (Australia, Japan and South Korea). On the Football4Mates ladder, Aramis has broken through Si Webb's hold of the lead to go top and claim the copper-coloured bar. Following Jonathan, another new generation of F4Mates finds himself sitting at the top of the ladder. Congratulations Aramis! Stylianos claimed the highest tally of points (27) for Round 3 to move into equal third with Dung. Great comeback for the veteran. Stylianos was sitting at the bottom of the ladder at the end of Round 2; that unsavoury honour goes to our newest group member, Michael. However, we still have plenty of games and opportunities for the ladder to shift dramatically. 

Knock out phase kicks off tomorrow morning with Netherlands v USA and Argentina v Australia. The win probability for Australia is 5%.  Remember that the new PENALTY SHOOTOUT BONUS will be active. Check your email and get your tips in. Good luck!
