2010 FIFA World Cup : Today’s Match results

2010 FIFA World Cup: Algeria goalkeeper Faouzi Chaouchi missed a feeble shot from Slovenia captain, Robert Koren to let him score the solitary goal in the 80th minute and show the way his country into 1-0 victory versus the Algerians at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane, South Africa.

The victory put Slovenia at the top of the fledgling Group C, ahead of England and USA also with a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup finals.

In Sunday’s 2nd match at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium, in Pretoria, an unnecessary handball by Serbian Zdravko Kuzmanovic's gifted Ghana a crucial penalty in the 84th minute.

2010 FIFA World Cup: Which group is 2010 FIFA World Cup’s ‘Group of Death?’

Group G: Brazil, Portugal, Ivory Coast, North Korea

2010 FIFA World Cup: I feel sorry for soccer fans from North Korea. After miraculously qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2010, the world’s No. 105 ranked team was placed in Group G to face Brazil, Portugal, and Côte d’Ivoire.

Group G is the clear Group of Death. Brazil and Portugal are FIFA’s No. 1 as well as No. 3 teams, and Côte d’Ivoire was undefeated in qualifying and North Korea’s sole purpose is to provide the Big Three with valuable goal differential.

Brazil is the only country to appear in every World Cup, and it has won the tournament 5 times. Coach Carlos Dunga left strikers Ronaldinho and Adriano off the squad in an effort to shake up the team after a subpar 2006 tournament, however Brazil is still the only lock to advance.
