World Cup Day 14

The day that had the biggest shock of this world cup.

Group E
Netherlands 2 - 1 Cameroon
Japan 3 - 1 Denmark

Van Persie scores to help the dutch achieve three wins out of three and a maximum nine points in the group stages. This lines up a game against Slovakia in the next round.
Japan reach the knockout stages of a World Cup on foreign soil for the first time with this victory over Denmark. In contrast this is the first time Denmark do not make the knockout stages of a major tournament having qualified.

Group F
Slovakia 3 - 2 Italy
Paraguay 0 - 0 New Zealand
Vladimir Weiss's Slovakia pull off the shock of the tournament. Going into these games any of the four sides could have qualified for the knockout stages. Italy's woeful performance means they finished bottom of the group below the All Whites from New Zealand.
