DAY 11 - SUNDAY JUNE 21st
10 points is enough to win Wycliffe Osei Sunday's Manager of the Day trophy. 5 points each for two spot-on scores, Spain 4 Saudi Arabia 0 and New Zealand 1 Egypt 3, with zeros for the other two. Wycliffe is our biggest mover on the day, up 25 places in 47th. Matt Pritchard gains 19 places to 16th, Mike Fischer and Alison Giovannetti join the top 10, Alison in 5th, Mike 7th. At the top, Neil Mullen only scores 4 points, allowing Roisin Guargena to move 3 points closer - the gap is now 2 points, while a gap of 5 has opened up below Roisin with poor scores from most of those that started the day in the top 10.

NEW ZEALAND 1 EGYPT 3
Eight teams collect the maximum 5 points, 15 take 3, 49 score 2 points, 40 zero and 26 lose 2 points for predicting the New Zealand win. Mike Fischer is the highest placed manager to get the score correct and is now up to 7th overall. Leader Neil Mullen earned 2 points, Roisin Guargena gains a point by predicting 0-2 for 3 points. Behind that there were lots of 1-1s selected at the higher end of the league - Roisin now has a 5 point gap behind her to 3rd, where 2 points is enough to take Jeff Norton up a spot.

URUGUAY 2 CAPE VERDE 2
Nice work from Alison Giovannetti and Matt Pritchard who got this one spot-on. They collect 7 points while 23 others score 2 and the other 113 leave empty-handed. Alison, in 13th before the match, was the highest placed to score any points at all so the top 10 is as it was before kick-off, except for Alison gatecrashing at 6th.

BELGIUM 0 IRAN 0
One manager predicted this one - bottom of the league Paul Willingham. 8 points gets The Shockers out of the negatives and onto a grand total of zero. Three randoms also came in, while 14 teams pick up 2 points for the draw by the wrong score. Not a lot of points around today so far then. Of most significance is Roisin Guargena's 2 points, having this one at 1-1. Roisin goes 2 points closer to Neil Mullen on top - the gap is now 3 points.

SPAIN 4 SAUDI ARABIA 0
11 take 5 points, two take 3, no less than 100 earn 2 points. It's 2 points for all of our top nine as they started the day, 3 points for Norah Ettaouchi in 10th, while Ryan Keenan is the highest to pick up 5 points, climbing five spots to 6th.
