Old Adversaries Now Set to Clash

Defoe's 22nd minute goal was enough to put a determined England side through to qualification. Although Rooney failed to make the most of his chances the team as a whole showed the famed British Bulldog spirit.

Both sides had a chance to survive in the other Group C match but the dying moments of the game saw a US goal that nabbed them the top spot. Having dominated throughout and had multiple attempts on goal the Americans deserved their win over Algeria.

In Group D, Mesut Ozil's forceful shot at the one hour mark hit the target and was enough to send Germany through to the final sixteen.

Australia were on fire and sunk two past the Serbian defense, winning them a place in the knock outs. The exciting finale to Group C means that England will now face their old enemy Germany in their first game of the knock outs on Sunday, sending tremors of anticipation across both sets of fans.

Today's Group F action sees Paraguay, Italy and New Zealand all with the chance of qualification; with a win guaranteeing advancement into the final 16. For Slovakia, a win could only get them through if the other result goes their way and a tie or loss sees them sent off home.

The Group F teams therefore promise heartfelt performances and will see all sides writing the end of their own World Cup story.

Group E sees a game with two teams at either end of the spectrum - Cameroon are already knocked out of the cup and will want to bow out with pride whereas The Netherlands have already qualified and will go through whatever the result.

The fight for second place is between Japan and Denmark. Denmark need to win it to stay in it whereas Japan can get through on just a tie if need be. Japan are one of the tournament's dark horses and favorites to get through to the knockout stage but Denmark turned on the style against Cameroon and have shown what they're capable of. So this one's down to 90 minutes of football and anything could happen.
