IVORY COAST 3 - NORTH KOREA 0
BRAZIL 0 - PORTUGAL 0GROUP G:
Fairly predictable, really. Ivory Coast needed 8 or 9 goals against the North Koreans to progress and hope that Brazil beat Portugal. They only managed 3 goals, against a team that is so out of depth in the tournament. Other than that gallant loss to Brazil, North Korea might as well have been Singapore. (Remember Goal 2010? That preposterous claim that some day-dreamy minister of sports made that Singapore would make the finals?) Both Brazil and its former colonial masters played safe for a zero score bore. Ho-hum. Rating: 2/5

SPAIN 2 - CHILE 1
HONDURAS 0 - SWITZERLAND 0GROUP H:
For all the Swiss heroics against Spain a week ago, it could not make Honduras roll over. So they pay the price while Spain cruise against Chile. Nothing very much to say except David Villa looks like a good bet for the Golden Boot. This sets for a mucho caliente all-Iberian meeting in the Second Round. Rating: 2.5/5

i believe it was a certain Mah Bow Tan who made that claim which was later downplayed by former PM Goh...
