The round of group games starts, so at last every game means something.
Group A
Uruguay 1 - 0 Mexico
South Africa 2 - 1 France
Uruguay look as good as they did in the 1950s, beating Mexico means they top Group A.
Despite beating France, South Africa go out in the group stages (the first hosts ever to do so), even though they got four points. The surrender monkeys drop captain Evra and then the coach refuses to shake the South African coaches hand in defiant arrogance/ petulance following this pathetic performance.
Group B
Argentina 2 - 0 Greece
Korea republic 2 - 2 Nigeria
Argentina put spoilers Greece out of the competition with a determined win to set up a match against Mexico in the last 16. Good bye Greece they won't be missed.
Korea battle and come from behind to hold Nigeria, Korea go through for a last 16 tie against Uruguay. We are now rapidly running out of African nations.
