Colombia-Japan went against the form book and most of our predo players. Only Manager correctly identified Japan as the winners, scoring 3 points. DICE MAN scored 2 on a maverick 4-4 prediction (with Kagawa scoring). The remaining players scored 1 or 0 for a generally low standard round.
With many expecting a goalfeast for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, the Poland-Senegal game also largely went against the book. 8 players, including yours truly, scored six points. The remainder scored, once again, and including overnight leader Speedie, 0 or 1 points.
In the low movement of the leaderboard one would be forgiven for not noticing that Mark had climbed off the foot of the table at the quarter-way mark. I caught up with him, clearly in a foul mood.
The greater amount of the field plumped for Salah to magically lead Egypt to victory against the hosts in St. Petersburg. Whilst this didn't entirely come true, all of the non own-goal scorers (Salah, Cheryshev, Dzyuba) were predicted by our expert predoers.
The sole OCHO was scored by COTTY JR., which pushed him into the outright lead.
Spare a thought for Rob, who failed to score a single point all day.
Here's the full leaderboard. Bold indicates a played joker.
