And finally the spanish, as well as myself, can say;
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL....

Congrats to Spain. Couldn't stand watching another match after the one in the afternoon.
Switzerland played bad and the Chile team deserved the win. Still, the amount of bad acting in combination with a ref that didn't qualify to lead an amateur match, was way too much.
It's time for the FIFA to step up and bring the best refs to such a big tournament, and get rid of the "who hasn't, who wants again" and "everybody can come" evaluation.

Grats to Spain. Lots of talent in their team, and it's good to see they didn't let that last match get in the way of a solid performance today. Still a strong contender.
Yeah, they'd probably make an exception for them....maybe...;)

Let's see what's gonna happen.
Spain will face Chile, a very strong team. Everything may happen. And if Chile wins and Switzerland beats Honduras, Spain goes off.
I believe Brazil will draw with Portugal, and will face or Chile (like in 98) or Portugal in the round of 8.
Now, for England... I'm not sure if they'll qualify. France, certainly not.
Now Portugal and Brazil started to show some football, I hope Germany can show the same quality of the first round and Netherlands and Argentina will keep up with it, so we can have some memorable matches :)

The fellowship of the vuvuzela.

Portugal crushed North Korea :D

...and 23 NK players have gone missing. Hm...

It's even more interesting if Spain beats Chile and Switzerland beats Honduras. Then you'll have three teams with 6 points, and the teams will be separated by goal difference, and might even be separated by criteria further down the list.
Chile currently has +2, Spain +1, and Switzerland 0 goal difference. If Spain and Switzerland both win 1-0, then all teams will have 6 points and +1 goal difference, and be individually tied as well since Switzerland beat Spain, Chile beat Switzerland, and Spain beat Chile. Additionally all victories have been with the 1-0 scoreline, which means you can't separate two teams by the scoreline in the two matchups either.
I believe we could actually see a draw for the two qualifying places in this group.
If Spain beats Chile with more than two (or vice versa) however, they are guaranteed qualification, and probably first place unless Switzerland completely trashes Honduras and makes up the goal difference, which is unlikely.
Edit; Uhm ... that's wrong, I forgot Spain will have a +2 difference and will win the group if that happens.

adieu les bleus

First the French...
Next the English?
I hope not. Italians are also on dodgy ground.
Not looking great for the European teams, seems like the South Americans are doing the best so far.

For the most funny part of today's evening news, as always, North Korea. Take it away, Kim:

"And with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il personally giving the current team guidance, according to state media, success or failure is a state matter of the highest order."
IMO, get your cyanide pills ready.

NOOOO!
NK lost.
:(
With that it marks the point where i completely lose interest in soccer for another 4 years.

I really hope those guys won't get into any major problems going back home, but as i was watching the game i'd lie if i said i didn't thought about it.
"...a state matter of the highest order"...that doesn't sound good...

Can't they group runaway to some remote place in South Africa (if they don't have families, that is)?

Needless to say there is some celebrating going on over here about the French going out. Evra's comment about wanting to replay Ireland in ProEvo didn't make the French any friends here.
I must say though if I was French I would be extremely pissed off right now. The words "not fit to wear the shirt" come to mind. Then again the same can be said about England at the moment.
