Netherlands Vs Japan ( 1 - 0 )
After a unimpressive first half the Dutch looked impressive in second half, earlier in first half Japanese side frustrated the Dutch player. In front of 62,000 fans at Moses Mabhida Stadium the Orange team looked unimpressive, but 53rd minute goal gave them the much needed win to keep European hop alive in World Cup 2010. In two games, the Dutch master scored just twice for themselves. Earlier in previous match with Denmark the Dutch got an own goal in their 2-0 win.
The Netherlands is a two-time World Cup finalist but lost in both the edition in 1974 and 1978. Dutch team is of the hot favorite for this FIFA World Cup 2010, the win set a new record of 10 straight victories for the Netherlands in World Cup qualifier and final matches.
Cameroon Vs Denmark ( 1 - 2 )
After getting an early lead in just 10th minute Cameroon was unable to defend it for long and conceded an easy goal in 33rd minute. Denmark scored another goal in 62nd minute and that was more than enough to show Cameroon an exit door out of WC. Both team worked well on there attack but totally forgot to work on defense. They conceded unnecessary goal early goals with much effort. What a game from Cameroon but bit unlucky in second half. Three minutes of injury time didn’t help them much. So the Cameroon mission ended in World Cup 2010.

FIFA Worldcup 2010 South Africa Live - Day 8, 18 June 2010
Today, FIFA World Cup 2010 showcased the opening match between Greece and Nigeria which was taken over by Greece by two goals. So, 2-1 was enough for Greece to be victorious over Nigeria. Greece didn’t play well in its previous matche, but in today’s, played a great game and won the match. Dimitrios Salpingidis and Vasileios Torosidis scored to earn Greece a 2-1 comeback victory over ten-man Nigeria – their first triumph on the world stage.
In the second Group B encounter at Bloemfontein, Greece came back from a goal down to beat Nigeria 2-1. The African team had to play with 10 men for almost two-thirds of the game after midfielder Sani Kaita received his marching orders after he kicked out at opponent Vassils Torosidis. It is Greece's first ever win in World Cup Finals. Greece and South Korea both have three points while Nigeria are still without a point after two games in Group B.
France Vs Mexico ( 0 - 2 )
At Polokwane, France were threatened by an embarrassing early World Cup exit after a surprise 2-0 defeat to Mexico in their Group A game. The 1998 champions have just one point from two games before facing South Africa in their final pool match. Even a win might not be enough for them to qualify. Substitutes Javier Hernandez and Cuauhtemoc Blanco were on target as Mexico claimed a thoroughly deserved 2-0 win over France in Polokwane.
Hernandez ran onto Rafael Marquez's pass and rounded goalkeeper Hugo Lloris before guiding the ball home in the 64th minute. Hernandez's grandfather, Tomas Balcazar, scored for Mexico against France in the 1954 World Cup, although that was a consolation goal. Blanco converted a penalty in the 79th after Eric Abidal fouled Pablo Barrera, who came on for the injured Carlos Vela in the first half.
Argentina Vs S Korea ( 4 - 1 )
Title-contenders Argentina have recorded an emphatic 4-1 victory over South Korea in their second Group B match of the World Cup Football tournament. In the match played at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg, the winners led 2-1 at half-time.
Argentina went ahead in the 16th minute when Chu Young scored an own-goal following corner kick by Messi. After the lead, they totally dominated the proceedings. Their second goal came when Gonzalo Higuain's fine header found the target in the 33rd minute. Higuain then went on to score the next two goals also and obtained the distinction of recording the first hat-trick of the tournament. The goals came in the 76th and 80th minutes. The losers' only goal had come just before the breather through Lee Chung Yong.

FIFA Worldcup 2010 South Africa Live - Day 4, 14 June 2010
Shot-shy Italy needed a scrambled second-half equaliser by Daniele De Rossi to snatch a 1-1 draw with Paraguay after the South Americans had looked like pulling off a shock victory in their World Cup opener Monday. Antolin Alcaraz shocked the Gemany 2006 champions in the 39th minute to open the scoring, The Italians were slightly better in the second half, levelling after another goalkeeping blunder in the 63rd minute, but did precious little to change the pessimistic view of their fans and media who sent them to South Africa with a verdict of no chance.
A dour first half was briefly illuminated by Honda's 39th minute goal. Daisuke Matsui was allowed time and space on the right wing to float in a cross that evaded everyone but Honda at the far post, who finished neatly.Cameroon had registered the game's first shot on goal shortly before Honda's strike but the Indomitable Lions failed on too many occasions to feed the ball to their front three. They improved after the break with captain Samuel Eto'o beating four players down the right wing before setting up Eric Choupo Moting, who curled his shot wide of the far post. Cameroon's Stephane Mbia hit the bar late on with a rasping 30 metre drive but the African side, who left normal first-choice midfielder Alexandre Song on the bench, did not threaten enough as Japan left Honda up front while the rest defended their lead.
