Nameless

Australia, Cameroon, and Spain are the first teams eliminated from the 2014 World Cup after losing their games today. The surprise result was the defeat of Spain by Chile. It was correctly predicted by four Bolão participants.

Disclaimer: "Past performance does not guarantee future returns."
More importantly, the Spanish national team has lost the game and it's name! As I'm sure everybody knows, so far, the Chilean and Spanish national teams had shared the same nickname: "La Roja". However, a Chilean campaign demanded unique ownership of the name. The dispute was settled in today's game. The winner takes it all, including the name.

If you are a supporter of any of the teams eliminated today, don't despair. You still have the Bolão to keep you occupied! That's all that matters.

Speaking of the Bolão, Serginho Matos is still at the top of the official standings but competition is moving in. Cabeça de Macaco is 130th.

UPDATE: Disappointed with the game, Juan Carlos I, resigned as king of Spain. His son, Felipe VI, is the new king. Because Felipe is a long-time supporter of Atlético de Madrid, he has a higher tolerance for losses.
