Trivia fact of the day.
The Aztecs played ritual ball game known as tlachtli in which the losers were often sacrificed to the gods.
Well, there aren't any Aztecs around today, but the drug barons may have a way of dealing with failure.
I'm cheering for Sweden, although I don't think they have a chance. My Swedish colleague is still fuming about the penalty that wasn't given to Sweden against Germany.

Big chance goes wanting, there.

Right, Germany v South Korea, Mexico v Sweden...
Here we go. Could be an interesting pair of fixtures to decide the group. Germany make five changes from the Sweden match.
All four teams still have a chance of going through if the results fall their way.

Scrappy start to Germany v Korea... The Germans look nervous and unsettled.

Germany are starting to play themselves into this game. It's beginning to look ominous for South Korea, who have to win and hope Sweden lose to Mexico to have any hope of qualifying for the knockout stages.
Both matches still 0-0 though.
As it stands, Mexico and Germany will go through.

Forsberg could have had a hat-trick after 17 minutes.

Ooooh, South Korea with a dangerous free kick, Neuer spills it, and that ball could've gone anywhere.

Sounds like Sweden are giving it a real go.

South Korea have two bookings in as many minutes. They just *can't* afford to do this...

Tottenham Hotspur have 12 players at the World Cup
Paris Saint-Germain have 12 players at the World Cup
Chelsea have 12 players at the World Cup
Barcelona have 14 players at the World Cup

Manchester City are the most represented and have 16 players at the World Cup
Apologies for the bad cutting and pasting (and laziness to do anything about it).

The ref's got a dodgy barnet (unsuccessful transplant or something).

Penalty coming up, methinks.
