World Cup 2010 Day Fourteen Results

World CupThursday 24th June – Day 14

Paraguay booked their place in the knockout round after an uneventful draw against New Zealand ensured they finished top of Group F. Before the game the All Whites still had a chance of qualifying but blew their chances by not getting a single shot on target

Reigning champions Italy were amazingly knocked out of the World Cup by Slovakia. In what was probably the best game of the tournament so far, Robert Vittek scored a goal in each half to end the Azzurri’s dreams of defending the trophy they won in Germany.
The 2010 World Cup will be remembered as a disaster for Italy, who finished bottom group F and failed to qualify from the group stages for the first time since 1974.

Two stunning first-half free-kicks helped Japan secure a deserved win over Denmark and a meeting with Paraguay in the last 16. Keisuke Honda smashed his shot into the far corner before Yasuhito Endo, curled a fine strike around the wall.
Jon Dahl Tomasson followed up his own penalty to pull one back for Denmark, but Shinji Okazaki sealed a famous victory for Japan.

A late Klaas-Jan Huntelaar’s goal amde sure Holland moved into the last sixteen unbeaten. The Dutch had a harder job than they expected against a spirited Cameroon side, who were already eliminated after losing their first two matches.

No red cards today!!!

Group E
Denmark 1 Japan 3
Cameroon 1 Holland 2

World CupSaturday 19th June – Day 9

Holland  put themselves on the brink of qualification for the last 16 with a hard-fought win over a stubborn Japan side. Wesley Sneijder’s 52nd-minute shot from just outside the penalty box settled the game between two very different sides and which really opened up in the second half.

The Socceroo’s overcame the first half sending off of Harry Kewell to draw with Ghana and that keeps their slim hopes of reaching the World Cup second round alive. Australia, soundly beaten 4-0 by Germany in their opening game, took an early lead through Brett Holman before former Liverpool forward Kewell was shown a straight red for a handball on the goal-line and Asamoah Gyan slotted home his second penalty of the tournament to equalise.

Denmark came from behind to beat Cameroon in a thrilling game that ensures the African team became the first to be knocked out. Denmark have qualified from the group stage at all three previous World Cup appearances and will face Japan in their final game knowing a win will will see them through the next round.
The result also ensured that Holland will qualify from Group E.

And yes that’s right, yet another red card..

Holland 1 Japan 0
