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

[LTU_btc]

Crazy fact about Brazil - last time when they won against European team was 2002 World Cup final against Germany. Crazy! And I wouldn't even call Norway win as surprise, they're just so good, not even speaking about Haaland. And they have decent chances against England.
Today it's very likely that we will see Cristiano Ronaldo wearing Portugal shirt for the last time.

Naija, have to commend you on your betslip. I actually played plenty of corner games and failed, either on 1x2 corners or Over/Unders. Yours have all been quite... easily hit. Paraguay made me lose mine early, so you guys have that point (maybe)... we need a slightly unlikely Portugal and USA combo to happen, but it has been a wild ride so far.

Great punt on Halaand against Brazil!!!  He was never in any of our drafts for this round and for the first time we didn't get anything from goal scorers not even a single point.

Spain to win and 9+ corners in Switzerland - Colombia is all we're asking for today. Is it too much to ask?

[Rikafip]

Heh, nice to see that we already won if we reach the penalties.

It's unbelievable that we had 7/8 same answers, and what's even crazier is that we even had the same minute of the first goal.

The way game last night ended really put us in a hard spot and now the only thing that can save is if all things  start going our way.

I did hedge so at least I won't be going home empty handed if Team Croatia loses in the end.

Yes i cant believe that is true, is super crazy despite Brazil dont having a real good team for several years they are still Brazil and they have some real majestic players across all that years but somehow they never made a good team around them and they keep failing to achieve anything big in the world cups, and right now they are in their longest run without being champions of the world, is gonna be 28 years to the next world cup.

It seems as though the corner market have been fairly better in the knockout stages of the tournament, and we need that Mexico - England galore badly, it’s going to be a tough come back for you guys now though, because even if we end up going to penalties, we’ve already secured that with Mexico failing to the lead at any point against England, so technically all we need now is for Spain to win in regular time or USA - Belgium draw, although I’m not sure Belgium stands any chance now with Donald Trump as their 13th man, after the 12th man fans.

[slackovic]

It's unbelievable how many chances Spain has missed tonight. Oyarzabal was alone in front of Vista and managed ti miss. It would have been great for Team Croatia if he had scored. We'll see how the second half goes. I hope that Spain will win with Oyarzabal scoring.

30+ minutes left on the clock

Although Its horrible to watch Portugal defending for the whole 90 inutes but yeah we need this to atleast keep the dream alive for now. Portugal not to lose and USA to win later

For the corners, you guys actually only needed 8 corners. All teams are getting those corners so I need to win on the last 2 questions to seal the deal

[notblox1]

We can officially confirm that team Imperium Romanum finally received $100 free bet in our Rainbet account.
I wish we played it on Norway because I had gut feeling they are going to kick out Brazil.

If a lot of you request it, I'll make it in a way that the captains are always shown.
My opinion is that it is useless data - especially in a H2H 'differentials' overview.

I dont care who the captain is, that is worthless information for me.
Enjoy your holiday Mafia, and dont cry if your team loses

Sadly Team Balkans just lost bet challenge. I thought that 2 goals scored in this game is pretty safe bet, but I couldn't be more wrong.

We had some chances at the end of the game for second goal but we just didn't have luck with it.

If I'm looking at it correctly, you lost the game as well. Now it's just a matter of seeing if you lose 1-0 or you lose on penalties after 0-0 in regular time.
Feel free to doublecheck - I'm dead tired, have too much wine in me and am going to sleep

Our team was a few minutes from a perfect result - now we need Messi not to score 2 goals to be comfortable.

Actually no, Team Balkans winning on the penalty. Its the same format as the football penalty right? so the penalty count is 3-2 in favour of Team Balkans right now

They just need USA to win then they win the game as well. If its Belgium or draw then West Africa will win

30+ minutes left on the clock

Although Its horrible to watch Portugal defending for the whole 90 minutes but yeah we need this to atleast keep the dream alive for now. Portugal not to lose and USA to win later

Okay so what the freak is that. They defended whole 90 minutes only to lose on the very last minute. Atleast get the draw and let me atleast have some hopes on turning this back

Me and my team think we are done,but still i dont understand half of what is going on now and can someone please check if we still have a chance. We just lost the bet and we were thinking we need both the bet and usa to win so we can qualify but if there is an other option please tell us.

Im confused what is going on currently in the penalties just cant figure it out. If we are winning on penalties then we have a chance. Can someone please double check this before USA match starts so that we know if we still have a chance to go up.

How is that possible? West Africa have capitan on "questioner', didn't they? That automatically gives them 2 points, right? With this bet slipping, Team Balkans has no chance anymore even if USA wins

[Asiska02]

Sadly Team Balkans just lost bet challenge. I thought that 2 goals scored in this game is pretty safe bet, but I couldn't be more wrong.

We also lost our bet ticket because France scoring two goals against Paraguay was a safe bet , but we just had to let it be at the end and accept the defeat. Even if a game was to be exempted from that bet, it won’t be that of France against Paraguay, but they ended up to cut the ticket for us.

Actually no, Team Balkans winning on the penalty. It’s the same format as the football penalty right? so the penalty count is 3-2 in favour of Team Balkans right now

We had too many opposite answers for the penalty with Team Balkans, I can see they’re already ahead of us 3-2, with only minute of goal left to decide the winner.

We had the opportunity to have won this round, but Vinicius was denied to take the penalty yesterday. Again, Balogun red card to miss next match made us to go for a draw in this match, now that he is going to play, the outcome of the game looks to favour USA. A draw is what we just need in regular time now in this game to scale though this round and avoid going to the penalties with Team Balkans.

[arallmuus]

Can someone please double check this before USA match starts so that we know if we still have a chance to go up.

Sure, I hope I dont mess this up because my brain is killing me after watching Portugal lost on the last minute.

First of all we can omit both the goalscorers and betting since both teams lost on this so only questionaire left. West Africa got the 1st question correctly so the 5th question would be the decider for Team Balkans

If USA wins, Team Balkans would tie on the questionaire as well which means both teams go straight to penalties

How is that possible? West Africa have capitan on "questioner', didn't they? That automatically gives them 2 points, right? With this bet slipping, Team Balkans has no chance anymore even if USA wins

Captain only answer question for the penalties. As for the captain on goalscorer, it means double goal if they score. Both teams have Mbappe as captain here so it doesnt matter

We had too many opposite answers for the penalty with Team Balkans, I can see they’re already ahead of us 3-2, with only minute of goal left to decide the winner.

Im not really sure about the penalty format but Its either the best first 5 questions taken into account or strictly following the exact same penalty shootout format ( each questions ).

So either way, its currently in favour of Team Balkans 3-2.

In other word, if USA win then goes to penalties but Team Balkans won on the penalties already so West Africa need Belgium or draw to win this round

Honestly the game is really tied because if the USA are to win in this game then Team Balkans head to penalty but the drama will be when Switzerland fails to qualify and brings the penalty to a draw too and this is exactly why I think the organizers have actually added the goal time as this will definitely get a winner except two teams picks same time which we had thought would be rare but team Croatia and little Italy prove that wrong.

I think a draw Today between Belgium and USA might be sending two three teams to the last 8 without them having to use the penalties. A win for USA is definitely going to be bringing more drama. I need that full time draw

[Harkorede]

After learning about Southeast Archipelago being our opponent for the round, I told their captain it was going to be business as usual, the same way it was during our group stage encounter, the only difference is that this time around they threw the first punch, but my team was equal to the task, and the mission continues...

Gg fellas from the Southeast, you were just faced with a better team and don't worry, we'll go all the way to win to it to justify why you had to lose to us.

Your team was much luckier than ours in this round of the knockout stage.
Brazil saved your betting slip with a goal in the 100th minute, the coach forbade Vinicius from taking a penalty, Oyarzabal missed a few big chances last night, etc.
Now we need a miracle and 3 goals from Messi, not 2.
Never mind, our team did its best, and had a lot of fun along the way, but sometimes you need a little luck.
At least I'm glad that Portugal and the USA lost, the first because of referee theft against us and the second because of the political circus surrounding the red card for the best American footballer.
At least some reason to be happy this morning.

[cryptofrka]

We know 3/4 teams that are going to the next round. They are West Africa, Black Sea and Team Naija.
The only one still open is the Croatian Derby, in which Team Croatia needs a Messi hattrick to beat Little Italy.

Congratulations on your placement into the quarterfinals, we will host a draw for the all remaining teams.
There are no more seeded teams, as teams are drawn they will form a bracket (1-8) that we will be using until the end of the tournament, meaning that you'll now know your path to the final.

The raffle will be completed in ~7h and can be seen here.

The questions for the next round will be posted tomorrow morning, with a Thursday 18:00 GMT deadline.

Tagging the captains of all teams still in the tournament.

Yeah, it was 2 at that time and is 3 now after the questionnaire and betslip have been settled.
I will put 0.5 mBTC on that just to be on the safe side

I still think that the penalty for Portugal was very soft - if this was really a penalty my outrights on Germany would have survived longer since the same happened in Germany vs Paraguay

Anyway congrats to all confirmed R16 winners - can't wait for the draw!
