World Cup 2026 Day 31 – July 11
A double comeback in the same quarterfinal round: both England and Argentina went into halftime level on the normal scoreline, needed extra time, and came through to qualify. The fans did not see it coming — the two matches combined had a hit rate close to zero. Argentina, three-time world champions in 1978, 1986, and 2022, showed they never give up the road to the end.
Yesterday's Results
Norway 1 x 1 England (extra time: 1 x 2) — quarterfinal. The match went to extra time with the score level, and England turned it around to advance. Only 11% of fans got the result right — a massive upset for those who had bet otherwise. According to UOL, Bellingham shone and England eliminated Norway. Worth remembering: the English have 1 world title, won in 1966. With 9 predictions registered, the match generated little movement on Pitacos da Copa, but those who picked the right outcome came out on top.
Argentina 1 x 1 Switzerland (extra time: 3 x 1) — quarterfinal. The draw in normal time fooled those who expected a balanced contest: in extra time, three-time champions Argentina (1978, 1986, and 2022) opened the scoring and built a comfortable lead to close it out at 3 x 1. The hit rate was 0% — none of the 7 predictors got the result right. A massive upset, even with Argentina as the historical favorites.
