Group Stages Coming to an End

The last round of the FIFA World Cup 2010 started on Tues­day with Uruguay secur­ing the top spot in Group A. With hosts, South Africa unable to change the goal dif­fer­ence too much in their 2–1 vic­tory over France, the out­come of this match in Rusten­burg also put the ner­vous Mex­i­cans through. France exited the World Cup at the first round stage with­out even a sin­gle win and with barely a whim­per after this hum­bling defeat at the hands of Bafana Bafana.

Mar­tin Demiche­lis and sub­sti­tute Mar­tin Palermo scored for the Argen­tineans. South Korea drew with Nige­ria 2–2 in an enthralling game and clinched a place in the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time on for­eign soil. Argentina, who beat Greece 2–0, topped the pool.

In today’s matches Slove­nia take on Euro­pean giant Eng­land who has a must win game to progress to the next round. Eng­land has been given a great chance by the book­ies with odds of 10–1. USA and Alge­ria also go head to head against each other to deter­mine who is going to go to the next round with the USA hav­ing odds of 80–1, while Alge­ria is at 1000–1. Group D also has to be sorted out with Ghana fac­ing Ger­many and Aus­tralia play­ing Ser­bia. The Ger­mans and the Ser­bians seem to be the favorites to advance with the for­mer at odds of 19–2 and the lat­ter at 66–1. The Aus­tralians have the least chances to go through with odds of 1000–1.
