The demise of Spain and another wonder goal from the boys from Down Under.


Australia 2- The Netherlands 3
Tim Cahill's goal is on par with Robin Van Persie's wonder goal against Spain.
Personally, I really can not decide which goal is the best as they were both total class and worthy of this amazing World Cup in Brazil.

Belgium 2 - Algeria 1
I thought for a fleeting moment that Algeria might upset one of the dark horses of the competition, but Belgium showed their class and came through to win.

Brazil 0-Mexico 0
Ochoa made saves to be compared with Gordon Bank's miracle save from Pele for England against Brazil back in 1970. Neymar and the gang are still there and I can only see them getting stronger.

Russia 1- South Korea 1
Bit of a mystery still this game, it was on late and I have not seen much of the highlights yet. This group has to be the most open of all of the groups, any two teams could qualify!

Spain 0- Chile 2 
Who would have thought that Spain would be the first team to leave the competition? Well played Chile! I imagined watching the later stages in Spain in a great atmosphere, drinking 'Cerveza' with the Spanish fans, maybe they will support England? 

You can only hope!!

So all of the teams have now made an appearance, what a competition!

Finger biting already for us English fans, nothing changes really does it!!
