Do-or-Die Time for Teams in World Cup

FIFA World Cup 2010 saw another day filled with drama in Group C. The deci­sion to drop Emile Hes­key and start Jer­main Defoe proved to be a mas­ter­stroke by Fabio Capello against Slove­nia as the striker volleyed home to seal England’s progress with a 1–0 win in Port Eliz­a­beth. The USA topped Group C as Lan­don Dono­van hit a late win­ner against Alge­ria to give them a 1–0 win. Dono­van struck after Dempsey’s shot was par­ried away by the goalie, with sec­onds left to leapfrog England.

Aus­tralia beat Ser­bia 2–1 as both teams exited this year’s World Cup. The Soc­ceroos scored two goals in the sec­ond half and looked set to progress into the next round, but Serbia’s Marko Pan­telic hit back to see them miss out by a sin­gle goal. An excep­tional strike from Mesut Ozil gave Ger­many a 1–0 win over Ghana and put them on top of Group D, where they will face Eng­land in the sec­ond round. The result also puts Ghana through, as Ser­bia failed to win.
