Here are the results after the 9th day of the competition

Today, Argentina and South Africa played an intense game, ending in a 2-2 draw. Then, England showed off their skills with a tight 1-0 victory against Denmark. And let's not forget the exciting showdown between China and Haiti, with China clinching a 1-0 win.

It's funny to see how each match impacts the rankings, and the competition is heating up as every correct prediction counts.
