1. Senegal manage to cause a huge upset and defeat the world champions France.
2. Saudi Arabia are demolished by a weak German side and look rubbish in doing so.
You see that while most of them kind of teams are there as stop-gaps but can also be worthy of the chance of being world champions for the kind of match that Senegal played.
> Bierhoff's goal was quite good but a bit flukey.
Yes, I agree. But the best goal of the tournament so far has to be Uraguay's. Class.

Fair enough. Already Senegal have proved themselves, and have also introduced a future star of the game. But, enevitably there will be smaller teams that do not do so well, such as SA. Some may just slip through the net because of an easier qualifying group.
