World Cup predictions: France vs. Australia, Argentina vs. Iceland, Peru vs. Denmark, Croatia vs. Nigeria

Only Ed Dove had the Spain-Portugal clash ending in a draw, and for that he picks up 10 points. But it wasn't enough to catch Craig, who was Friday's winner with the 30 points he earned from predicting Uruguay's 1-0 win over Egypt.

It's a busy Saturday at the World Cup, with four games taking place. That means there is a bumper round of our predictions game, but who will come out on top?

First up it's France vs. Australia, and virtually no one is giving the Socceroos a prayer! In fact only our African journalist, Colin Udoh, is predicting a shock and the game to end in a draw. Even our Australia expert, Steph Brantz, is expecting a 3-1 defeat for her side. Mark Ogden, Alex Pareja and Ricardo Puig are all predicting big 4-0 wins.

UPDATE: Plenty of 10 points around for the nine pundits who predicted a France win, but not one person went for the 2-1 so no full house.

Then it's over to Lionel Messi & Co. as Argentina meet Iceland. Once again, all but one of our experts expect the game to go to the favourites, with nine predicting Argentina wins. Manu Martin is the only one to go for a draw. ESPN Argentina's Nicolas Baier isn't too confident though and only thinks it will be a 1-0 win for the Albiceleste.

UPDATE: What a pick from Manu! Every other pundit went for Argentina, but he got it spot on with the 1-1 prediction and can bask in the glory of 30 points!

Peru and Denmark face off in the third match, and this time it doesn't seem as one sided. Four people go for a Peru victory, three for Denmark and three for the draw.

UPDATE: Denmark's 1-0 win over Peru proved a tricky one for our panel, but Ricardo Puig predicted the scoreline correctly for a 30-point haul!

Last but not least, we get to see Croatia and Nigeria for the first time. Our Nigeria expert, Colin, reckons there will be plenty of goals and a 3-2 win for his side -- the only person to back the Super Eagles. Seven of our pundits are going for Croatia, with Nicolas thinking they will storm to a 4-0 win. Julien Laurens and Kenneth Garay go for scoring draws.

UPDATE: Ricardo Puig and Steph Brantz both accurately predicted Croatia's 2-0 victory over Nigeria, and for Ricardo, it was his second correct scoreline prediction of the evening! He topped our table for the day with an impressive 70 points!
