Group C
Morocco 1-0 Chile
Spain 3-0 Honduras

1. Spain. 9.
2. Morocco. 6.
3. Chile. 3.
4. Honduras. 0.

So far so good for Spain. Maximum points, 13 goals scored and only one conceded - but is this because they are genuinely great, or did they simply have an easy group!?

Spain and Morocco will be playing in the knockout rounds, but Chile will have to wait on other results, as only 4 third placed teams will go through.

Here is what the draw for the last 16 looks like:

1D .v. 3BEF
Morocco .v. 2A
1F .v. 2E
1B .v.. 3ACD
2F .v. 2B
1A .v. 3CDE
1E .v. 2D
Spain .v. 3ABF

Turkey 2-2 Ukraine

1. China. 9.

China and Ukraine through .. Turkey will have to wait, but I think it looks promising for them.

You're really missing something, some players are extremely talented. Spain, Holland, Argentina and Brazil are the title candidates this year. Adu (USA, 16 years old!), Fabregas and Llorente (Spain), Messi (Argentina), Maduro (Holland), I can go on this way.

At the end of Turkey's match against Ukraine, they decided to keep the 2-2 draw and not go for the 3 points. In my opinion, that wasn't very sportive and I also wonder if it was a good choice. We'll see. All the other group matches will be played today: 18th June, a beautiful and warm Saturday.

Holland finish 1st in Group A, which means we don't get Morocco. We'll meet a #3.

Looks like all the top sides can get through with those ties.

And Holland will avoid Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Colombia. We can cruise straight to the Final.

I assume Brazil will score a few (maybe 4-5? ). Columbia - Argentina is the big clash this week.
