or should that be 'Bye Bye Pepe, Pepe Goodbye' ? (Bay City Rollers fans will know where I'm coming from here !)  

Not surprisingly no one picked up maximum points by forecasting the impressive 4-0 German win over Portugal in the 5.00pm kick off in Salvador.

With 13 entries predicting a draw, points were very thin on the ground with only 2 teams managed to pick up 2 points.

The Iran v Nigeria bore draw saw just two teams, Rio De Timperley and Groucho’s Gooners pick up a maximum 3 points.

With no one else picking up 2 points most of the remaining teams managed to pick up 1 point by predicting one of the two teams would not score.
 
The final game of the day saw the USA edge a close encounter against Ghana by 2-1.

Three lucky teams predicted the correct score to pick up a maximum three points. Well done to The Hand of God, Phil Jones and Mauritian Flyer.

Mauritian Flyer moves up to 4th place with 4 fully correct score predictions out of the 14 matches played to date.

Gilmore and Sarah Rowley still lead the way with 22 & 21 points respectively but the gap behind them has closed.
