⚽⭐⚽ Rainbet’s BTT World Cup 2026 – Road to Glory ⚽⭐⚽

Still 15+ minutes to go for Mbappe to atleast score 1 goal to close the gap for us after Sarr scored. Hattrick for Dembele, we got the unexpected guy this time. I wish it was Mbappe, it would put us upfront on goalscorer. On the good side, Mbappe is still on the field so this could be happening.

I thought Mbappe would be scoring atleast 2 goals today after knowing Norway would be using their B teams. I thought this would be way easier though

Team Naija also needed Mbappe to score at least a goal to increase our goal scorers points after Brobbey helped our opponent yesterday - tonight was literally the easiest fixture against Norway B team for Mbappe to statpad goals.

We can only hope Spain rotates and leave Oyar out of the starting lineup. It's not looking good for us hahaha 

[goodpunt]

I'm not sure about the other 3 teams if I expect a final first win for ''Team Croatia'' in this round.
We are a little weaker in the betting, but we currently lead 2:1 in the scorers and I expect that at most 3 teams at the world championship will have maximum impact, which would mean our victory in this round.
This will obviously be a very uncertain group and everyone has a chance to be first or last in the group, depending on the results.
Let's go Team Croatia! 

I'm currently wearing my Team Croatia shirt and absolutely rooting for you guys to finally get your 1st win!
So will be following the New Zealand vs Belgium match with great interest

Simple, we decide it by amount of bribe you send us.

Kidding aside, we only have 3 tie breakers in the OP. Goal difference, goals scored and h2h. We need to add something more for you guys it seems.

Fortunately it's now certain that such a nightmare scenario won't happen in our group
But a bribe would have been no problem - I still have some funds on Blockchain.info.....imagine the shock in 2014 when I found out that there was no password request function LOL

@mv1986 @Koal-84 unfortunately, our decision to pick spanish national team striker Oyarzabal didn't pay off tonight, so the point for the top scorer goes to our opponent, team naija.
the game ends 1-1 and we finish the group stage with 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss)

I've already seen it, unfortunately. That should now be third place in the standings, which means we're out, or at least it looks like the team in second place won't lose, as far as I can tell. Or did I misread that?

As for our pick for top scorer, yeah, we were wrong there, the Brazilian threw a wrench in our plans.

[cygan]

✂️

we're not out because the rule is:

Code:

3rd and 4th placed teams will play against each other in R32. 3rd placed teams will be seeded.

so we'll be playing against the fourth-place team soon. the only question is from which group...
and what does it mean in this case that we're seeded – does that give us an little advantage?

[buwaytress]

Don't think I've seen an odds drop as high as Norway-France (16/10 dropping to less than 13/10 after the lineup was clear).

So, now, the real games begin. As bottom team (fully intended), since a draw is the best we can play for on R3 and it won't be enough for 3rd place, we now wait to find out which 3rd-placed team we'll play.

[Rikafip]

Fuck you Lukaku. I woke up in the middle of the night, checked the situation, and saw that Lukaku hadn't come on yet and it was already the 80th minute. Then I woke up again in the morning and saw that he came on in the 85th minute and scored in the 86th. Now we need Colombia not to win vs Portugal for our first win.

So, now, the real games begin.

Canada-South Africa? 

[arallmuus]

and what does it mean in this case that we're seeded – does that give us an little advantage?

It means you guys will be playing against 4th place. 3rd place wont play against 3rd place so thats an advantage over the weak team like us 

So, now, the real games begin. As bottom team (fully intended), since a draw is the best we can play for on R3 and it won't be enough for 3rd place, we now wait to find out which 3rd-placed team we'll play.

Fully intended yeah, we are going to play it the hard way 

Well if its a draw for us then Team Naija take the first spot, if we lose then Imperium gets it. I personally dont want to give Naija the top spot but losing this one feels like a loser for us so I'd prefer to close the round with another draw for us

[notblox1]

I think we are on the way on winning the first place in Group C 
Team Imperium Romanum have been playing so amazing in this world cup that we have new fans from all over the world.
One of them was not happy with her national team performance and with little boob italian mafia, so she decided to join us.
Please welcome our new favorite fan Ivana

Good riddance, we prefer our girls a bit younger and with lot less plastic. This one can melt on these temperatures 
But at least she is good in Photoshop so maybe your team gets a proper flag. A bit curious to me that only team that didn't make a flag has a BSFL logo designer in it  If I were your captain, such slacking wouldn't be allowed.

[Harkorede]

Team Naija should have really made it to the next round as the group winner but we fumbled things in the last two round after winning the first game, but I like the fact we remain an unbeaten team going into the next round, and whichever team we face would hear it, "We want Curacao" *wink wink*

[LTU_btc]

I used to like Uruguay in past, but now I'm glad that they eliminated. Such ugly team, and Cannobio deserved longer ban for his behaviour. And choosing old Muslera as main goalkeeper was big mistake from them. He used to be great goalkeeper, but now only name left from him. Glad for Cabo Verde for making into playoffs.

Not sure how much plastic she have, but what is obvious that she has tow big advantages . And I'm simple man - I see boobs, I press like
Now it would be already a bit strange to see World Cup without her.

Canada-South Africa? 

I hate that playoff brackets is so disballanced.. There is Netherlands -  Morocco on the first round and on the same time we have Canada - South Africa or USA - Bosnia.

[goodpunt]

What a thrilling final round in Group D - Harry Kane with his relatively late goal secured a crucial point for Team WPRA!
We even conquered 1st place after Colombia failed to win against Portugal.....must say the VAR decision against Colombia's goal was a bit controversial.
In any case, big thanks to "Team Croatia"

[cryptofrka]

So, fellas - group stage of the Road to Glory competition has been finished!

Our final leaderboard is:



The rules say the following:

Knockout stage:
Everyone advances to the knockouts… but not equally.
1st place - directly to Quarterfinals
2nd place - directly to R16, where they will be seeded.
3rd and 4th placed teams will play against each other in R32. 3rd placed teams will be seeded.

This means that South America, S.E.A. UNITED, Imperium Romanum and WPRA have booked their place in the quarterfinals.
Little Italy, Team Balkans, Team Naija and Three Lions are skipping R32.

In R32 there will be only 4 games - seeded teams are West Aftrica, Black Sea, CEA and Team Croatia and the unseeded ones Meridian Alliance, TPOA, Southeast Archipelago and Curacao.

There are 2 raffles being settled currently - one for seeded and one for unseeded teams. We will match them as the draw completes them, so 1v1, 2v2 etc. The draws are here:
https://bitlist.co/raffle-manager/DJof4Q - seeded
https://bitlist.co/raffle-manager/YQsGJM - unseeded

The list of goalscorers has been updated as well. One important mention here - it's not confirmed yet.
We added goals for players that scored against unsubmitted or incorrectly submitted tickets, but these points will almost surely be removed. We will only add points (goals) to the players that have winning betslips in such scenarios.

That being said, we'll post the new set of questions soon.

Some important changes:
- Questionnaire will have 5 questions instead of 4
- we have penalties now considering it's the knockouts - they will work in the same way that BSFL penalties do. Captais will be submitting them through the Google Forms document.

Also, take note of this:

We had a decision to make - Round 3 finishes with the Jordan - Argentina game on Sunday morning (UTC) and the first knockout game is on Sunday evening.
Therefore, that first knockout game will be skipped in the following round of the competition.
More about that when we get there, but it looked better than the alternative - which was to exclude all games from groups J, K and L for this round.

This means that, for the purposes of this competition, the round starts with the Brazil - Japan game and not the SA- Canada game that is tonight, in order to give you more time to prepare your answers.

We would prefer if we can pay out free bet in one piece to the captain of each team. That way we further promote team action and you guys place that bet all together and divide possible winnings. There is also an option for it to be paid to another team member or split between all 3 players. In case of split, free bets are as follows 40, 30, 30. Team captains let me know trough PM or on telegram how you want it handled. Make sure to include your rainbet usernames in the message.


Tagging all participants even though only 8 teams is actually playing as per above schedule. We didn't discuss that possibility earlier but if your team is up for some sort of side bet I am sure we can accommodate that. There is 8 teams free this round and if you want action let us know. We are also open for challenging, want to keep my team mates on the toes. Didn't even tell them about this part yet

Three Lions finish a respectable 2nd in our group. Would have been nice to finish 1st and avoid having to play in the R16 but we at least get to relax and watch others sweat it out in R32.

Good luck to all the teams playing in 32, we will be waiting for one of you in the R16.

[leea-1334]

I told you guys,,, we part timers are very chill and relaxed and undefeated   Now we can tuck in to our big meals of Korean kimchi, Singaporean chicken rice and Indonesian rendang.

We will let you know @Trofo how to deal with freebet, we just need to enjoy our qualification first  

Edit (I posted this in wrong thread earlyer)

[slackovic]

I don't know if I'm blind, but I can't seem to find the penalties section in the form. Will there be a separate form for the penalties?

EDIT: One more thing @Trofo or @cryptofrka. The second question of the questionnaire says "Germany, France and Spain all to qualify to R32 in regular time?". Isn't that wrong formulation? All of these teams have qualified for the R32 and are now playing to qualify for the R16.

[mv1986]

@cryptofrka, @Trofo, just to be clear here:

This means that, for the purposes of this competition, the round starts with the Brazil - Japan game and not the SA- Canada game that is tonight, in order to give you more time to prepare your answers.

This means the bet slip should not contain any outcome from the game SA - Canada, right?

@cygan and @Koal-84, nothing is lost yet. Let the knockout rounds begin, time for mistakes is over now Good luck everyone!
