Australia 2-1 Serbia
Australia 2-0
Australia 2-1
Nigeria 2-2 South Korea
South Korea have qualified for the next round with this match because Greece was defeated by Argentina.
In yesterday’s Nigeria vs South Korea match, Uche scored the first goal for Nigeria. That goal was equalized by South Korea when Lee Jong scored. In the second half, South Korea’s Chu Yong scored another goal and gave the lead to the Koreans. That goal was equalized by Nigeria when Yakubu scored a goal in the 69th minute.
France 1-2 South Africa
South Africa could be the last hope for the best fighting chance to move up or stored around 16 or knockout game. They managed to score 2 vs. 1 and won the game big time to help the man of the match, Mphela. However, this victory is not enough to host a team for the next round FIFAWorld Cup 2010. Although Mexico has been linked to four points each, unfortunately, Mexico has a better goal difference against a South Africa -2.This is the first World Cup, the host country does not succeed to reach knockout or round of 16. It is a sad end to the hopes and dreams in South Africa to host and win FIFA World Cup 2010 Championship.France was ignominiously sent home from the World Cup with only one point to their problems, and their stay in South Africa will certainly be remembered more for problems off the pitch than on it!

Denmark 2-1 Cameroon
Cameroon had more possession (54%) and more shots on goal (23) than Denmark. They even scored the first goal when Samuel Eto’o finally opened his World Cup 2010 account after 10 minutes. But two excellent goals from Denmark and some wasteful finishing from Cameroon mean the Indomitable Lions are the first team to exit World Cup 2010.
Ghana 1-1 Australia
Ghana, aware of its potential, addressed the comeback attempt by the hand of André Ayew. At the exit of a corner, the said picked up the ball after himself and handed out literally by force and power to a defender, then another and put the area in search of a leg friend. The Jonathan Mensah, who fired to first. The ball, with direction to the network ran into the hand of Kewell, who served as keeper at the far post. Penalty and expulsion. Asamoah Gyan no mistake, as it did against Serbia, and put the tie. Australia, without their best player and striker Harry Kewell today, faced with a least 65 minutes before a hungry Ghana, which was losing appetite over the minutes. Under his leadership.Ghana vs Australia ended 1-1 and Ghana is the leader of the group with 4 points.
Netherlands 1-0 Japan
Wesley Sneijder struck a beautiful ball from just outside the box in the 53rd minute, giving the Netherlands their second win in as many tries. With six points, they control the group and have looked dominating so far. The Dutch, with a game still at hand, can already advance to the second round if Denmark defeats or ties Cameroon.
