Brazil 3 Ivory Coast 1

Kaka sent off(I think justifiably) and bad tackle on Elano. Drogba scored for Ivory Coast.

I felt it was unfair. Great thing about football, everybody watches the same match but sees something different.

The important thing will be if FIFA agree and extend his punishment from a 1 game ban to 2 matches or more. I think it would be difficult for them to do that, based on the video "evidence".

Agreed.

Saw a clip of the goal by Ronaldo which bounced of his neck, he carried on his head (did he know what was happening?), then vollied into the net. I have never seen a goal like that in a competetive match- incredible class. Goal 2 was amazing.

The England team visited an orphanage in Cape Town yesterday. ''It's heartbreaking to see their sad little faces, bereft of all hope'' said Vusi, aged 8.

France 1 South Africa 2
Both teams are out because

Mexico 0 Uruguay 1
Mexico goal difference was better so they go through in second place.

Nigeria 2 South Korea 2

Current miss of the world cup...an open goal and easier to score and missed it.

Argentina 2 Greece 0

Nice win for them and they have a 100% record.
Argentina and South Korea progress.
