Day 6 was a rough one for our experts as Japan and Russia spoiled many of ours experts' picks. In the end, Julien Laurens came out on top with 30 points, edging out Gab Marcotti and Stewart Robson for top spot. The second round of games continues Wednesday, but to whom will the plaudits go?

Portugal and Morocco get the ball rolling when they meet in Group B. Will Cristiano Ronaldo be among the goals once again? Or can Morocco bounce back from their crushing injury-time defeat to Iran? Everyone goes for the Portugal victory, apart from Colin Udoh who backs his fellow Africans to get a 2-2 draw.

We flip back to Group A next, as Uruguay meet Saudi Arabia. It won't come as any surprise to learn that every one of our pundits goes for the Uruguay win. Mauricio Pedroza is the only person to go for the slender 1-0 victory, while Mark Ogden expects a 4-0 rout.

Then it's back to Group B for Spain's match against Iran. It's not a case of who will win this, more by how many. Herc Gomez reckons Spain will win 6-0, Caro Guillen goes for 5-0 and Mauricio has 4-0. ESPN Brasil's Leonardo Bertozzi is the only pundit to go for a single-goal Spanish victory.

Check out how our pundits got on with their predictions for Tuesday's games and remember to join the pundits' league in Match Predictor.

We've got our top talent on hand from England, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Australia and Africa -- many of whom will be based out in Russia for the tournament -- to analyse each and every one of the 64 matches.

We'll score our experts just as we do in the Match Predictor -- 10 points for correct result, with a bonus 20 points for getting the scoreline right too. Who will come out on top on Wednesday?
