What lies ahead for group D!

Ghana (with 4 points) meets Germany on June 23 21:30 GMT+3, and for them to qualify for the next round; they will have to beat Germany for a guaranteed spot. A draw for them will still not be bad, but they will finish second (if Serbia beats Australia) in group D. A lose will not be good news. For Germany(with 3 points);if they win over Ghana, then they have a guaranteed spot for the round of 16. A draw or a lose will spell dome for them,as mathematics will apply if Serbia and Australia draw or if Serbia loses. Serbia(with 3 points now) will play Australia on 23 June at 21:30 GMT+3, have no other option than to beat the Soceroos. A draw for them, will depend on the results from Ghana vs Germany, hoping that Ghana wins. A lose will send them straight to Berlin. As for Australia(who are bottom with 1 point) their hopes depend on miracles and sheer luck; one thing for sure, they have nothing but a win, for them to qualify. If they win, they will hope that Ghana beats Germany or drew and the calculator will be fished out to determine their fate. It's tough, with Ghana placed on the better side...

Cameroon confirms exit. Denmark 2-1 Cameroon

It all started with the captain with the capital 'C' striking first- Sam Etoo- @ the 10 minute at Loftus Versfeld Stadium. The lions prevailed most of the first and second half with deadly shots and opportunities, but that one goal was just it for them. The usual suspect of Arsenal, the scorer of important goals-Nicklas Bendtner- tapped in at the 33' minute to level it for his team. Then came the 61' minute, Dennis Rommedahl(AJax Amsterdam) slipped it into the basket beautifully to seal the victory for the Dens, closing out the Lions from the party. This means that, Cameroon enters into this historic world cup books as the first team to exit the tourney. Fulltime score Denmark 2-1 Cameroon

10 man soceroos hold The Black Stars! Ghana 1-1 Australia

Brett Holman(AZ Alkmaar) became the first to kiss the net @ 11' minute, when a free kick from Mark Bresciano(Palermo) which virtually seemed easy for Kingston, but after the ball bounced, it confused the keeper who punched it into Holman who drove it home via a rebound! Minute 23' came and Ghana got a penalty after John Mensah's(Lyon) hot strike was blocked by Harry Kewell(Galatasaray) using his hand, awarding himself a red card and awarding the Black Stars a penalty. Asamoah Gyan(Rennes) rose to the occasion and sent Mark Schwarzer(Fulham) to the wrong side, scoring the equalizer. The went on, but no other goal was scored, although Ghana came close severally. Final score Ghana 1-1 Australia! A very tricky group.

Netherlands squeeze 3 points from Japan to qualify. Ned 1-0 Jap

Netherland becomes the second team to qualify after Argentina. Wesley Sneijder (Intermilan) brilliantly struck from miles away to give the Neds the lead and guaranteed qualification. Although Japan displayed a good game with super ball possession, they could not get the net. Netherlands 1-0 Japan. Player of the match Japanese midfielder Daisuke Matsui (Grenoble), he did his best for the team.

The Three Lions held by The Derset Foxes. ENG 0-0 ALG

England and Algeria showed that potential of scoring, but it all ended potent. The Algerian defence proved an African shield, with the Algerian GoalKeeper being tough to the point, doing enough to ensure that the Lions didnt score. Beautiful game, NO SCORE! This therefore means that; Slovenia-who top group C with 4 points- will only need a draw in their next match with England to qualify. England-with 2 points-will have to beat Slovenia to qualify. The US-who have 2 points-will hope that Slovenia beats England, as they win over Algeria to get into the round of 16. Algeria-who are currently at the bottom of the group with 1 point-will hope for nothing but a win over the US as Slovenia beats England, for them to get into the next round. Too much to hope for, all in all it's our world.

Determined USA comes level with Slov 2-2

Ellis Park Stadium (GMT+3 5pm).
A determined US side almost clinched a win when they played Slovenia earlier on today. Slovenia struck the US net twice before half time, seeming to be the side that would have escaped the park with three points. The two goals came at 13' from Valter Birsa and Zlatan Ljubijankic 42'. It was after the halt time period that US came on at 48' to pull one back via Landon Donovan and the equalizer at 82' from the coach's son Michael Bradley. Maurice Edu almost sealed a victory for the Obama boys, but the ref seemed to disagree and off siding a 'clean goal'. Final score 2-2, with US proving that 'YES THEY CAN'
