Match & Result: Germany vs Serbia (18 Jun 2010)Winner: Serbia
Score: Germany(0) vs Serbia(1)
38′ Jovanovi

Recap

A historic game for Serbia as they have beaten a super power team in Germany. Germany hasn’t lost a group stage since 1986 and they haven’t lost a second game group stage since 1954.

Serbia scored the first goal on the 38th minute and Germany was looking for an equalizer but after Miroslav Klose got his second yellow card, things were gloomy for the ten man team Germany.

Germany employed a three striker offense with Podolski on the left side, CaCau at the middle and Marin on the right side. Podolski had seven shots on goal but couldn’t finish off and score a goal.

Key Takeaway

Germany’s weakness was exposed with Miroslav Klose out of the picture and Michael Ballack no longer with Germany. Even when Germany employed their three striker offense it couldn’t score the equalizer just like Germany always did back in 2006 when they were done with a goal.

Group D has now become harder and teams need to win their remaining games to get to the next round.

Videos: Argentina vs Korea Republic (17 Jun 2010)Below is the FIFA World Cup video for the hat trick achieved by Higuain for Argentina vs Korea Republic.

Everyone expected Lionel Messi to pile up the points for this game and after his comments that he wants to be alongside Pele and Diego Maradona, he should have gotten the hat trick.

Instead that honor belongs to Higuain. Good work man.

Recap

Argentina showed how the game of football is played. Korea Republic was so frustrated because their own player Chuyoung was the one who scored the goal for Argentina. But it didn’t take long before Argentina scored another goal followed by two more goals as the Argentina squad demolished Korea Republic with four goals making the mistake of Park Chuyoung a non-factor for the game.

Most notable in the game is the hat trick scored by Higuain on the game.

Match & Result: France vs Mexico (17 Jun 2010)

Match & Result: France vs Mexico (17 Jun 2010)Winner: Mexico
Score: France(0) vs Mexico(2)
64′ Hernandez (Mexico)
79′ Blanco (Mexico)

Recap
The first half was boring both team kept on exchanging possessions, shooting wide and over the goal, free-kicks that amount to nothing and above all, a goal less first half.

The only bright light in the first game is the young legs of the attacking Mexicans particularly Giovani dos Santos.

In the second half things changed, as Mexico run smoothly, attacked faster, orchestrated the offense in a rhythm and was solid on defense and constant challenges.

As a result, Mexico has won their first international win over France and they deserved this win with the way they played. Mexico has already assured themselves of a place in the next round.

Below are the goals scored:

79′ GOAL SCORED by Mexico — C. Blanco

64′ GOAL SCORED by Mexico — J. Hernandez

Match and Result: Greece vs Nigeria (17 Jun 2010)Winner: Greece
Score: Greece(2) vs Nigeria(1)
71′ Torosidis (1) Greece
44′ Salpingidis (1) Greece
16′ Uche (1) Nigeria

Recap

That was a strong game for Greece and they have made history by winning their first FIFA World Cup finals game.

It looked like Nigeria had the upper hand when they scored the first goal on the 16th minutes but after that they lost focus on defense as Greece shot on goal so many times without the defenders blocking or helping out the goalkeeper.

Greece scored two goals to win the game.

The videos for the goals scored is found here — Videos: Greece vs Nigeria (17 Jun 2010).

Key Takeaway

Nigeria is in a very tough spot and their only chance for getting in the next round is for them to win against Korea Republic and Greece gets beaten by Argentina to force a three way tie with Korea Republic, and Greece.

Match & Result: South Africa vs Uruguay (16 Jun 2010)

Match & Result: South Africa vs Uruguay (16 Jun 2010)Winner: Uruguay
Score: South Africa(0) vs Uruguay(3)
24′ Diego Forlan (Uruguay)
80′ Diego Forlan (Uruguay)
90’+5 Alvaro Pereira (Uruguay)

Recap

South Africa was demolished by Uruguay on three goals to nothing. Diego Forlan of Uruguay delivered the first goal on the 24th minute.

From that time on, South Africa was desperately going after the equalizer fueled by the crowd but the stretched out defense by Uruguay proved too much for the Bafana Bafana. The closest chance they had was when Katlego Mphela missed on an open header via a cross from Siboniso.

Uruguay was headed for a victory when Diego Forlan got another goal on the 80th minute which just sealed the game. Uruguay didn’t let up as on the 90th minute plus 5 on the extension, Alvaro Pereira go another goal.

Key Takeaway

The loss was devastating for South Africa and the only chance they have for advancing is winning the game against powerhouse France. Switzerland just pulled off an upset over Spain and South Africa can still hope for the best.

Match & Result: Spain vs Switzerland (16 Jun 2010)This will be updated after the game.

Winner: Switzerland
Score: Spain(0) vs Switzerland(1)
51′ Gelson Fernandes

Recap

The inevitable happened and Switzerland made the biggest upset in the tournament thus far.

I cannot question Spain’s determination as they shot one goal after another in the game. By the time Switzerland scored a goal during the 51st minute of the game, that was only the second shot on goal for Switzerland. Spain at that time already had 14 shots on goal but just couldn’t get a goal.

Spain felt pressure when Switzerland scored and the coach deployed Fernando Torres back in the game despite having an injury. The star striker of Spain had a lot of shots on the goal but the closest he could get was hitting the bar.

Switzerland showed a patient defense similar to what Korea DPR has showed against Brazil as they let their high profile opponent control possession and the game while waiting for the chance to counterattack and score.

Key Takeaway

You cannot discount any team in the FIFA World Cup and even high profile teams should treat their opponents with respect and focus on getting that goal on the scoreboard. Spain is going to fight very hard on their next games as they don’t want getting booted out in the first round.

Match & Result: Honduras vs Chile (16 Jun 2010)

Match and Result: Honduras vs Chile (16 Jun 2010)This will be updated after game time.

Winner: Chile
Score: Honduras(0) vs Chile(1)
34′ Jean Beausejour (Chile)

Recap

It was a great win for Chile fitting for how they dominated the entire game. This team has scored 32 goals in the qualifiers and the way they attacked and broken down the Honduras defense showed how potent their scoring abilities are.

Jean Beausejour scored a goal on the 34th minute and the lone goal for Chile doesn’t justify how dominant they were. More than midway the first half, Chile already had 63 possessions against Hondura’s 37 possessions.

Man of the Match was Alexis Sanchez who delivered a spectacular game via his crisp, accurate passing, timely attack and fluid orchestration. This guy is only 21 years old and barring injuries, he could just be a force to reckon with on two to three more FIFA World Cups.

Key Takeaway

Chile was touted to win this game and the team did not disappoint. I believe they should have scored more goals had it not been for successive saves by the Hondura’s goalkeeper.
