All in all was not not too far off, and I am particularly happy with my out there prediction of Barcelona getting knocked out at the group stage being correct, although I was way off with Group B. We will be back again in the new year for the knockout stages, where we will see how far my predications get me, but for now enjoy the upcoming FIFA World Cup and remaining Premier League matches. As for now, I will have the Round of 16 draw and an update to my predictions for the remainder of the competition on Monday 7th of November.
Peace. CryptoGod-1.
