DAY 10 - SATURDAY JUNE 20th
Norah Ettaouchi takes Saturday's Manager of the Day trophy with 13 points. Two spot-on in the wins for Germany and Japan plus 2 points for the Netherlands win. Norah climbs 18 places to 10th on the day. Remarkably, Norah only joined the competition for Match 10 but, after a slow start which saw her score 4 points in the first seven matches, has been on fire. Since joining, Norah is dead level with our leader Neil Mullen with 56 points in those 27 predictions, 7 more than the 3rd best - had she joined at the start and maintained the same average, Norah would be top with 75. Jeff Norton's run as our daily leader is short-lived, he slips to 4th with Neil Mullen back on top and now with a healthy 5-point lead over Roisin Guargena in 2nd.

TUNISIA 0 JAPAN 4
Five managers take 6 points for this one, one takes 3, 85 score 2 points. Among those to get it spot on is Norah Ettaouchi who takes the Manager of the Day trophy with 13 points, having also selected Germany 2 Ivory Coast 1 and picked up a couple of points for Netherlands beating Sweden. 2 points for Overall League leader Neil Mullen, while Jeff Norton went for a Tunisia win which sees him slip to 4th. Neil's lead is back up to 5 points.

ECUADOR 0 CURACAO 0
Three got this one spot on - way down in our tables but obviously on the way up. Once the randoms are added in it's 6 points for seven, 2 points for 17, zero for the rest of us...

GERMANY 2 IVORY COAST 1
Another late, late goal brings drama to Predict the Scores. Germany's 94th minute equaliser brought nearly everyone points and, significantly, an eighth correct score of the competition for Neil Mullen. While 99 went for the correct result, 77 thought Germany would win by more than one goal. Just 14 + 2 randoms take the 5 points, 13 the 3 points, the rest have to settle for 2. Or worse. Neil is the only one in the top 12 to gain more than 2 points and, yes, The Mullenator is back on top and 3 points clear...

NETHERLANDS 5 SWEDEN 1
Roughly 63% had Netherlands for the win but no-one expected them to win by more than two goals. No randoms came in either, not even a 3-pointer. Not a great deal to report, therefore!
