2010 FIFA World Cup : Spain edge past resolute Paraguay

2010 FIFA World Cup : Spain set up a potentially thrilling semi-final meeting with Germany but the European champions had to do it the hard way, requiring a lone 2nd-half strike from David Villa to claim a 1-0 win over a resilient Paraguay 1-0 at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park. The goal saw David Villa take an outright lead in the race for the adidas Golden Boot with 5 goals but the match was as much a tale of 2 failed spot-kicks, one for each side.

2010 FIFA World Cup :Rampant Germany oust Argentina

2010 FIFA World Cup: Germany are through to the semi-finals after producing another masterful performance to beat Argentina 4-0 at Cape Town’s Green Point Stadium. Diego Maradona’s Albiceleste came into this match with high hopes of avenging their quarter-final defeat in 2006 but they ultimately had no answer to a slick, powerful German side who will now face either Spain or Paraguay in the last 4.

2010 FIFA World Cup :Dutch fightback buries Brazil

2010 FIFA World Cup : The Netherlands came from behind to break Brazilian hearts and take a huge step towards a 3rd FIFA World Cup final appearance. Trailing at half-time to Robinho's early goal in Port Elizabeth, Bert van Marwijk's men drew level through Felipe Melo's own goal before Wesley Sneijder headed the winner with 22 minutes remaining. Brazil ended the game a man short after Felipe Melo's dismissal as, like in Germany 4 years ago, the South Americans, unbeaten since last October, saw their dream of a 6th world crown dismantled at the quarter-final stage.

For the Dutch, this was their 4th straight win at these finals and leaves them one victory short of a 1st Final appearance since they finished runners-up twice in the 1970s. They will travel to Tuesday's Cape Town semi-final vs. Uruguay or Ghana as favourites despite the suspensions of Gregory van der Wiel and Nigel de Jong. History will be on their side too, given the winners of their 3 previous FIFA World Cup meetings with Brazil marched on to the Final each time.
