World Cup predictions: Experts all nail England, Belgium to win on high-scoring Day 5

After a tough Sunday, our experts bounced back in a big way on Monday, with all 10 correctly predicting Belgium and England -- although they left it late -- as winners and five even nailing the exact score of the Belgium match. The results were split on South Korea and Sweden but Ale Moreno, Ed Dove and Manu Martin all had the Swedes for the win, with Moreno and Martin nailing the 1-0 score prediction.

Martin and Dove put up strong scores with 50 points apiece but the day belonged to former Venezuela international Ale Moreno, who lit up the scoreboard with 70 points of a possible 90. Moreno was spot-on with the exact scores for Sweden-South Korea (1-0) and Belgium-Panama (3-0) and missed out on the England-Tunisia scoreline (2-1) only due to a converted Carthage Eagle penalty.

Well done, Ale!
