Uruguay’s determination to win the World Cup title is undeniable making this team one of the most dangerous when it comes to scoring.</p>
<p>Prior to its World Cup qualification, the two-time world champion has beaten teams like Bolivia (5-0), Ecuador, and Colombia. However, it has also suffered major breakdowns with its games against Paraguay (2-1), Venezuela, and Chile.<br />
<span id="more-1309"></span><br />
With its World Cup comeback since 2002, the Uruguayans are expected to play their roles in the Group elimination category, which was earlier seen when it they fought Argentina for the final World Cup berth.</p>
<p>The team’s character is also unquestionable, which is one of their key factors in getting into the Cup.</p>
<p>Uruguays projected starting lineup in their game against Mexico will be goalkeeper Nestor Muslera, (D) Diego Lugano, Diego Godin, Mauricio Victorino – (M) Sebastian Eguren, Alvaro Fernandez, Alvaro Pereira, Nicolas Lodeiro, Alvaro Gonzalez – (F) Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez.</p>
<p>However, the Uruguayans will be facing Mexico, the team that has made it difficult for France in getting its attacking form. The two teams will meet on June 22 at 4pm local time (2pm GMT, 10am EDT, 7am PDT) at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenberg.</p>
<p>A win in this match will mean a guaranteed advancement from the knockout round and a first match berth in the round of 16.</p>
<p>Both Latin American teams now battling for placement in the second round rather than survival.</p>
<p>A win or a draw in favor of Uruguay will mean a bad karma for Mexico, which will be forced into its first knockout match against the unpredictable Argentina team.</p>
<p>But this could also be an easy game for the Mexicans especially with an almost “open” net in the side of the Uruguayans. It will be recalled that teams playing against Uruguay has find it easy to score in their nets.</p>
<p>Fans will have to watch out for the game’s match which will pit Uruguay’s star striker Diego Forlan against Mexico’s defensive linchpin Rafael Marquez.</p>
<p>The two players have been known for their tight rivalry at the club level, having met in several occasions. Marquez is playing for Catalan giants Barcelona in 2003 while Forlan played for Spain the next year.</p>
<p>The two players have also been in their best forms for the tournament and has been playing at the top of their games.</p>
<p>Forlan has been named Man of the Match in both of Los Charruas’ games, while Mexican captain Marquez has played a pivotal role in front of the back four whilst also weighing in with a goal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It will be a hard-fought battle between Spain and Honduras as both teams try to avoid an early ticket back home on Day 11 (June 21) of the World Cup at the Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa.</p>
<p>Spain, one of the favorites to win the World Cup title, has earlier lost their game opener against Switzerland (0-1) while Honduras still failed to capture the elusive first-ever win in the tournament after losing to Chile (0-1) in its opening match.<br />
<span id="more-1299"></span><br />
Another game lost by either team would mean an early exit from the tournament’s (Group H) knockout stages.</p>
<p>It’s unthinkable for many fans that Spain, being a favorite of winning the World Cup, has seen its chances slipping away, considering the international status of the team. Now, it has to avoid elimination by facing the victory-hungry team of the Honduras, which has never won a game in the World Cup history.</p>
<p>I always believe that lightning will not strike on the same spot twice, which means the Spanish players have better chances of staying in the tournament compared to its rival.</p>
<p>As we all know, Honduras’ midfielder Wilson Palacios, one of the key players in the team, was given a “yellow card” during its match against Chile. One more card would mean an ejection from the game and a suspension for the final game at the group stage of the Cup.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Spanish team has yet to receive such penalty as they maintain a clean slate from the referees, giving them plenty of chances to go back to its winning form. I also think that Spain will have majority of the ball possession because of this.</p>
<p>Led by its striker Fernando Torres, Spain has about 90 percent of winning the 3rd match of the day, which will be broadcasted live on CBC and CBCSports.ca (2 p.m. ET).</p>
<p>Torres is the Liverpool striker that is known for his quickness and elusive ball-handling techniques. He is also considered as one of the deadliest striker at the penalty area and could change the tempo of the game.</p>
<p>Many of the fans who were following Torres even said that he’s one of the very few players who can change game plays from the previous matches and could exceed expectations.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Spanish players have to watch out for Honduras’ striker David Suazo, which is also considered as one of the best strikers in the league with a keen eye for goals in close matches.</p>
<p>Suazo was not able to play during their match against Chile because of a thigh problem. Now, he posed as the biggest threat against Spain as he is set to return from the injury.</p>
<p>Also, Xavi Hernandez (Honduras’ midfielder) expects to suppress charges from Wilson Palacios (Spain’s midfielder) for the majority of the ball possession. Hernandez will have to be more physical against the Barcelona dynamo for Honduras to win the match.</p>
<p>For Spain, there will be no margin for error with its international status and World Cup title on the line.</p>
<p>For Honduras, it will be history in the making as the team prepares for the biggest match of their lives.</p>
<p>The last time both teams met at the World Cup was in 1982 with a score card (1-1).</p>

<p>The match will be held June 22 in Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane</p>
<p>The outcome of Group B is not yet final because there is a possibility that three teams are finishing with three points each. This will happen if the Argentina will beat the Greeks and South korea will lose from Nigeria. Whatever the outcome of the Nigeria vs South Korea match, things is not good for Greece as it might be hard to win on the world cup favorites, the Argentina team.  Greece scored their first goal in 2010 world cup tournament when they beat Nigeria. This kept their hopes up after losing from South Korea in the opening match. The second place is wide open especially when Nigeria beat South Korea and they win over Argentina. Unfortunately, this might be impossible because of their label of being conservative and not adventurous when playing. There are no signs that they can take down the attack of Argentina. Even their coach Otto Rehhagel is not that confident that the team is strong enough to beat Argentina. This statement will surely not help the team but I guess they just need to prove their coach wrong. All that Greece needs to do is get a better result compared to South Korea and they will the second place spot from the Asian team. Although the Argentina team is better, Greece team will try to hold on as long as they can because the draw can serve them well especially if Nigeria wins. This could be dangerous because the Argentina team can take advantage. Listening to their coach is like a conclusion the Greece will not qualify however let the football game do the talking for them.<br />
<span id="more-1289"></span><br />
For the Argentina team, Maradona is a first timer coach in the world cup. Although this is the case, he stood to be counted. The team is showing good passing and movement to go forward. Their star player Lionel Messi is giving it all for his country. Although no ball from him has made to the net, he has the most shot on the goal in all of his team. Other players of the team surely benefit from the ability of Messi. One of them is Gonzalo Higuain who did a good job against South Korea. This result and adding to the lost of Spain against Switzerland made them a favorite to win the whole event. This is an opportunity for Maradona who loves to justify his moves and actions. Although it seems easy, there are work should be done. The challenges become tougher down the road for Argentina. Although this is the case, they are working hard not to be complacent. As for maradona, he is pulling some tricks that will put the player on the spot where they are useful. Perhaps the only thing that hinders the chance of Argentina in winning is the inexperience and coaching abilities of Maradona. With regards to the squad, the Argentina team is one of the most talented squad in the world cup. Of course, there is something special to be done to make them a superstar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://amirariff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Nigeria-Vs-South-Korea-World-Cup-2010.png" ><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1293" src="http://amirariff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Nigeria-Vs-South-Korea-World-Cup-2010-261x300.png" alt="Nigeria Vs South Korea World Cup 2010" width="261" height="300" title="Nigeria Vs South Korea" /></a>The match will happen this coming Tuesday, 22<sup>nd</sup> of June at 19:30 GMT in Durban Stadium, Nigeria will have a slim chances if they win over South Korea and at the same they hope the Argentina will triumph over Greece. As we all know, African nations are struggling to be alive at 2010 FIFA World Cup so betting for them might pose a risk. Nigeria team has lost to Greece and Argentina. Although the Nigerian team may look like they are ready to fight, they need to build some confidence. In their battle with Greece they were leading but couldn’t sustain it. Therefore the Greeks were able to initiate the comeback and win the match. Most likely Group B would end up with South Korea, Greece and Nigeria being tied and it will come down with the goal difference. For this to happen, Nigeria must need to score three points and pray that the Greeks would lose.</p>
<p>Nigeria striker Kanu who is not yet seen by World Cup fans should make the appearance because they need the goals. The veteran said that he is itching to take part of the game. His team mate Sani Kaita has received death threats before their match to Greece. Nigeria should definitely all the confidence boost or all they might not make it. Many analysts are saying that they don’t have the pace to beat Korea. However there is a gleaming hope after their Asian rival was beaten by Argentina. This can surely strengthen the Super Eagles. Although South Koreans have a dented confidence because of theloses they incurred, Nigerians should be prepared even if they feel like they are underdogs.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the South Korean team went to 2010 FIFA World Cup in a decent shape. The bets are on their side next to Brazil. They are proven worthy especially when they have beaten Greece on their first game. Although it was different story when they faced South Americans and they lose harshly. This is a big wake up call for the team according to their coach Huh Jung-Moo. They are very confident that they will push their way further in the tournament. Aside from Argentina, they are the favorites to emerged victorious in Group B. They look very impressive and full of energy in their game against Greece. This coming match against Nigeria would prove to be a test if they can stand up from the heavy blow on their defeat. Nigerians should be carefully because South Korean will target them hard. This team knows that they have an edge over this South African team. This is because of the creativity and mindset that the team possesses. Their main player Park Ji Sung would definitely drive the team to winning. It is easy for Korean because they just need to do better than Greece and this would put them on the final sixteen teams of FIFA 2010. The key to their game is to hustle the Nigerians which could easily be distracted especially on their game plan.</p>
