Big results from last night's games.
Honduras 0-1 Chile
This was understandable. Chile did really well in qualifying, and Honduras scraped through on the last day. I think that Chile was the better team and I think that the win was deserved. Well done Chile. Honduras I think need to show their dominance and show that they won't be pushed over in this group.
Spain 0-1 Switzerland
WHAT!!!! Very unexpected. Spain are the favorites and Switzerland haven't been doing well in football. Spain must've been overconfident, which caused the upset. A lot of people will hope that this doesn't happen again. Can Spain recover? Anyway, WELL DONE SWITZERLAND!!!!!!!!
South Africa 0-3 Uruguay
I think that day 1 might have just been luck. There was no surprise from the result. Uruguay are a much better team than the South Africans. The Uruguayans are doing superbly well. The South Africans tried but failed. Well, there's always Brazil 2014. Will they at least take points from France in their final game?
Three more matches are coming tonight.
Argentina 2-1 South Korea
Nigeria 2-0 Greece
France 1-1 Mexico
What will happen?

World Cup Group Stage 15/6/2010
The First own goal of the world cup was scored today, but who scored it?
Holland 2-0 Denmark
The own goal came seconds after half-time in this game. This was actually the result that I predicted. I know what the two teams need to work on as well. Denmark need to work on defending crossess(as the own goal was a header from a cross), and Holland need to work on defending counter-attacks.
Japan 1-0 Cameroon
I thought that Cameroon would win this. Being on African soil against a team that let in two own goals in a friendly against England recently. But, Japan recovered to beat Cameroon and grab three vital points in the group of death.
Italy 1-1 Paraguay
Not an incredibly good result for the reigning world champions to start with. I guess that they do have an easy group, but it still would've been nice to win the opening game. Anyway, Italy have changed since the days of 2006. They are now an older team. As shown today, their age is starting to rub ontoi their performance.
Brazil and Portugal are in action tomorrow. Let's predict.
New Zealand 1-1 Slovakia
Brazil 5-0 North Korea
Portugal 1-0 Ivory Coast
What's gonna happen?

World Cup Group Stage 14/6/2010
A sickness prevented me from posting. But I'm back with dramatic results.
Algeria 0-1 Slovenia
This result was simply caused by the same thing that yesterday's England draw was caused by. PURE LUCK (HUGE goalkeeper error). The goalkeeper let the ball bounce past him. Slovenia will be happy to take those three points, but will their luck strike again against U.S.A. next week? Can Algeria bounce back against England?
Serbia 0-1 Ghana
This game in a way was also caused by pure luck. The game was tied for 85 minutes before a penalty was given, which Ghana happily scored. But you must also look at the fact that Ghana are a somwhat better team than Serbia. Maybe a combination of the two?
Germany 4-0 Australia
Absolute DISASTER for the Australians. They were 2-0 down at half time and then soon later, star player Tim Cahill got sent off. Germany soon scored two other goals, but their world cup hopes are at the moment in serious jeopardy. Tim Cahill out for the group stages and bottom of their group with a nasty looking goal difference. The question on the mind of every socceroos (Australia's nickname) fan tonight is, can they recover?
Ok. The holders are in action today, as well as action from the so called 'group of death'.
Holland 2-0 Denmark
Japan 0-1 Cameroon
Italy 2-1 Paraguay
I'll be returning with the results tomorrow.

World Cup Group Stage 11/6/2010
Hi there. After a one month hiatus from posting I'm back with action from the opening day of the World Cup.
South Africa 1-1 Mexico
This opening match was bound to be a tight game. It was only because of a Rafeal Marquez(Mexico captain) goal that Mexico even forced a draw. The South Africans had home advantage and the Mexicans had the better players. So overall, it was bound for a draw anyway.
France 0-0 Uruguay
I predicted a draw for this match, but I though that there would be some goals. I think that France have been rather shaky lately, and I think that their shakiness gave Uruguay the chance to force a draw. The results mean that all four teams must bag as many points as they can in the last two matches of the group stage.
Predictions for 2 Group B matches and 1 Group A match are now coming.
South Korea 1-0 Greece
Argentina 2-1 Nigeria
England 2-0 U.S.A.
Exciting times. How will I do in my predictions?
