  2. I included round of 16 games. I'm sure we'll have the same values at the end of the World Cup.

  3. @Watson: did you include games such as Netherlands-Denmark and Germany-Serbia? If so, take them out. The weighting is determined only by matches between teams of different confederations. Matches between teams of the same confederation don't count.
