When they were on the run, finally, the first eight were out.
Just like that, so simple.
From here, the game's rule had changed. With the absent of Nikov and El, now, Pirlo and Charisteas had to hold the whole show. It was not an easy job for them.
At this time, there was a concern over the security. Again, there was something bad, that police had to be stationed whole day whole night.
Well, talking about them, they did have something to say, a lot.

…
The eight teams eliminated were:
Romania – Sakura Kinomoto
Ukraine – Kyoko Sasagawa
Russia – Eli Ayase
Albania – Lucia Nanami
Turkey – Koito Minase
Sweden – Mai Kawakami
Austria – Hotogi Shirayuki
Czech Republic – Ririchiyo Shirakiin
That's much.
Getting eliminated, some few that was fine, like Riri. Some felt disappointed like Eli. Looks like Russian managers needed a stunning move at the 2018 World Cup. Some even cried much like Lucia after her Albania got knocked out from the game.
Sakura needed Li after the result, but only her classmate cheered her.
Of course, there were some managerial changes: Iordănescu, Vrba and Slutsky were kicked out of position, or resigned. But some person like Koller still held it despite many protests from Austrians calling for a mass changing manager.
But some person like De Biasi felt proud. As an Italian, he could be proud of both Albania and Italy. Antonio Conte had invited him to drink wine before De Biasi went home. Grazie!
Conte and De Biasi both knew each others for a long time.
Meanwhile, Minako Aino had a ton of problem on combining power with Portugal, despite Portugal would continue their trip.
About Chisaki? Well, who know, she was still trying to combine her strength with England.
Back to Ichigo H., she was very successful with Iceland. Therefore, she would make more.
About others?
Who really knew. However, at the next round, the law would have changed.
