Well, the Denmark Japan game has just finished and I have to admit, I was very impressed by the Japanese. Their 3 goals were absolutely superb, and they look like the first team to have mastered the free-kick with this new ball!
Japan now face Paraguay in the last 16 and I wouldn't bet against them reaching the last 8.
Disappointing 2nd half performance from the Danes who started the game so well, Sorenson was visibly shaken from his slight mistake for the first goal and never seemed to get his confidence back.
I'm am watching the Dutch-Cameroon highlights as I write this and it looked like Cameroon gave it a good go but Holland just had too much for them.
No exceptional goals, but nothing scrappy either. Seemed like a decent game.
Holland will meet Slovakia in the last 16 and its safe to say they will be strong favourites to progress, but who knows in football!
The last group games are tomorrow, and here are my predictions:
Brazil 1-2 Portugal
I have the strangest feeling that Portugal are going to pull off an upset tomorrow and I think Ronaldo will try his best to shine in the biggest game on paper so far.
Ivory Coast 2-0 North Korea
Its really a nothing game at this stage but Ivory Coast will work hard and pull off the win.
Spain 1 -1 Chile
Chile are a good side and I can't see Spain getting all 3 points, they didn't impress that much against Honduras.
Switzerland 1-1 Honduras
Spains short-comings will be saved by a good performance by Honduras who will want to leave the World Cup with some good memory!
