Spain are the first team through. Put the other teams that go through in here. And laugh at them if you wish.

Japan and South Korea have done really well to get through to the second round! I didnt give them much hope before the tournament started bit they have certainly proved me wrong! Well done to them!

Yep, that's France, Argentina and Portugal out.

Down to 16 teams now. Not the ones I would have picked.

Well, Brazil are through and Turkey squeeze through as well.

Paraguay are through!

That's called "beating them at their own game!" :-)

I wasn't watching at the time, but all I heard from the commentator was "If there is one player you don't want to stick your leg out in front of, it's Ortega". Meaning it was basically a dive...

But hey, we dive and get a penalty, so do they. The difference being, ours got us through to the second round, while theirs simply spared some of their blushes.

Haven't seen it myself, I was just assuming, based on past experience... ;-)

No dive man, even the english Commentator said it was a penalty.

Although i didnt look at the replay properly, so dont start.

All I'm saying England are gonna find it tough if they cant score in open play. Cant rely on Beckhams set-pieces all the time...

Now that I can agree with. Even being English, I'm sick to death of hearing about 66. Okay, we won it once - 36 years ago. Big deal! Forget about that one and concentrate on getting together a team to win another!

Apparently an Englishman once won Wimbledon too! Ooooh! Fancy that!
