Yup.
Portugal utterly massacres the Koreans 7 - Nill.
Spain asserts itself over Honduras. 2 - Nill
With the end of the second round of matches lets see what the teams need to qualify:
Group A:
Mexico an Uruguay just need to tie with each other tomorrow to qualify. If either one loses, it opens the door for both South Africa and France to make it in. Either one of them would need to bat the other by enough goals to offset their deficit, and the goal difference the loser of the Mexico Uruguay match would end up with.
Group B
Argentina is all but qualified, however a loss to Greece combined with a win by the South Koreans over the Nigerians could still leave the Argentinians out.
Greece needs a win, and it needs to be by a better score than any win by South Korea over the Nigerians.
Group C
USA needs to beat Algeria to guarantee they qualify.
England would need to beat Slovenia, a tie would mean they'd need to hope USA doesn't win or ties with Algeria.
Algeria would need to beat USA and hope England doesn't win. Or if the Brits do win, they need to win by a large margin so Slovenia's Goal difference is offset, and Algeria can overcome them.
Group D
Ghana only needs to tie with Germany, however the Germans need a win otherwise either Serbia or Australia can leave them out.
Serbia has to win if they want to move on. If they tie with Australia, They'd need Germany to loose to Ghana.
Australia still has a chance. They'd need to beat Serbia, and hope Germany doesn't win.
Group E
The Netherlands is qualified.
The winner between Japan and Denmark moves on. A tie means Japan moves on.
Group F
Paraguay needs at least to Tie.
Italy needs to win. A tie would open the door for New Zealand to knock them out of the cup.
For New Zealand a win qualifies them.
Slovakia needs to win and hope New Zealand doesn't win.
Group G
Brazil is qualified
Portugal is all but qualified. Portugal only needs to tie, and even a loss as long as its not by too many goals would be enough.
Ivory Coast would need to do what Portugal did today to the Koreans, and hope Portugal loses to Brazil.
Group H
Chile can afford to loose as long as Switzerland doesn't Win by enough goals to offset the difference.
Spain needs a win, and hope its better than Switzerland's win.
Switzerland needs to win, and needs to win by a better score than Spain.
Between Spain, Chile and Switzerland it will probably come down to the goal difference.
