Seven Smashers for Sizzling Portugal

Yesterday Portugal secured their highest ever scoring World Cup victory, turning on the style in a decisive win against North Korea. The sizzling second half saw six goals in total, three within a period of just seven minutes. Six different team members shared the glory and the result now puts qualification into the next round firmly within their sight.

In Group H, Former Liverpool player, Gonzalez, headed in the only goal and sent Chile through to the final sixteen. The game was influenced by Saudi referee, Al-Ghamdj, whose zero tolerance approach had him reaching into his pocket for nine yellow cards and ultimately falling for the amateur dramatics of the Chilean defense, resulting in Behrami being sent off at the 30 minute mark. Switzerland fought on bravely but Chile scooped the points.

Spain came into the World Cup as the favorites but a shock defeat to Switzerland in their first match saw them humiliated. Yesterday, however, two class goals from David Villa sealed their 2-0 victory and put them in a much improved position prior to their final Group H match against Chile, who currently occupy the top spot.

Two angst-ridden teams, France and South Africa, go head to head today in Group A's final match. France, jaded and in disarray, do not cut a happy picture and it remains to be seen whether the off pitch shenanigans will effect their performance. South Africa have their own pressures; currently facing the prospect of being the first host nation to be knocked out at the group stage.

Mexico and Uruguay are currently on equal points at the top of Group A. A win for either will secure first place in the group. A draw will see both with a ticket to success.

Greece and Argentina have both played some fancy football, with Argentina establishing themselves as 'the ones to watch'. Argentina just need a point to win Group B but the race for second place is still on.

The number two spot not only depends on the score for each match but also on the results of the other group match. Either Nigeria or South Korea could potentially grab a last gasp at second place if the points fall in their favor. An exciting end to the group is therefore on the cards with all teams having everything to play for.
