Friday saw Brazil score twice in stoppage time to beat Costa Rica 2-0, Nigeria topple Iceland by the same scoreline, and Switzerland pull off this World Cup's first come-from-behind win by defeating Serbia 2-1.
As far as our experts go, Damian Didonato was the winner on the day, scoring 60 points. Our ESPN Colombia representative may have missed the mark by predicting a Nigeria-Iceland draw, but he had the results and scorelines right in the day's other two matches.
Shaka Hislop, Mauricio Pedroza and Colin Udoh also had fortunate Fridays, each scoring 40 points, with Udoh the only one of our experts to accurately predict Nigeria's 2-0 win over Iceland.
But Saturday is a new day. Will our experts continue their run of good form or will Saturday's trio of games bring them crashing down to earth?
We're into the final throes of the group stage for Saturday's matches. The first game of the day sees Belgium take on Tunisia -- and the surprise is that one of our pundits does not go for Roberto Martinez's side. ESPN Mexico's Marcelino Hernandez goes against the grain with a 1-1 scoreline. Compare that to his colleague, Ricardo Puig, who says 5-0. Colin Udoh (Kwese, Africa) thinks Tunisia will lose 2-0.
UPDATE: No surprise that no one predicted the 5-2 scoreline, but nine of the 10 pundits pick up the correct result. Unlucky, Marcelino.
Then we see Mexico in action against South Korea. No one is backing the Asian nation to win the match, though Ricardo and ESPN FC's Ale Moreno say it will be a draw. Marcelino thinks Mexico will win 2-1.
UPDATE: Some correct scorelines here as Gab Marcotti, Alex Pareja, Kenneth Garay, Colin and Marcelino all went for the 2-1 Mexico win!
We finish the day with Germany against Sweden. ESPN FC's Germany correspondent, Raph Honigstein, is confident of a win, but only 1-0. ESPN Colombia's Damian Didonato is the only person not to back Germany, saying 1-1.
UPDATE: What drama as Germany save their World Cup campaign! Plenty of points for the correct result, but only Ale Moreno got the scoreline spot on.
That wasn't enough for Ale to creep up and take the victory. Gab, Alex, Kenneth and Colin share that honour. They all got the three results, with a correct scoreline in there too.
Check out how our pundits got on with their predictions for Friday's games and remember to join the pundits' league in Match Predictor.
