florica uniquely returned over 500 points to win Round 5 of the FIFA World Leagues Predictor and a signed jersey from a FIFA World Cup™ winner. The Romanian foresaw draws in Argentina, Japan and the USA, which accounted for almost half her haul.
McRage accurately guessed all ten results, but he failed to employ his joker and finished 13 points off the pace. The Frenchman shared second place with Chile's jorge_v.f..
Weekend highlights
florica's only slip-up was in the Manchester derby, although the draw she predicted was only seconds away from transpiring. However, deep into injury time, Michael Owen snatched United a 4-3 defeat of City that was worth 42 points for their backers.
Central Coast Mariners beat leaders Gold Coast United 3-0 in Australia to close in on the summit and earn their backers 70 points, while Guillermo Barros Schelotto converted a 78th-minute penalty to grab Columbus Crew a draw a Chicago Fire that was worth 77 points. The 0-0 stalemate between San Lorenzo and Racing Club in Argentina was the biggest earner; to the sound of 83 points.
Movers and shakers
The top four remained unchanged. Round 5's best climber was bebinjo, who rose over 6,000 places thanks to an impressive 470-point return.
