Group A and B concluded

Ok so England have avoided Germany in round 2 and now will face Ecuador who were thrashed 3-nil by the hosts. It was one professional performance by Germany and they didn’t let Ecuador take hold of the game at any second. Klose netted twice and Podolski finally got his first. Michael Ballack was in fine form and Germany are shaping into one strong unit.

Sweden tried hard but they might be facing elimination in second round when they will face Germany though let me tell you Sweden will come hard and wont go down easily it would be one cracker of a match.

Poland finally got a win in world cup when they came from behind to beat Costa Rica 2-1. It was Batosz Bosacki who got both the goals for Poland after Ronald Gomez's strong free kick gave Costa Ricans the lead.

Paraguay also managed their first win of the tournament, drawn in a tough group this was the only match they were expected to win and even this wasn’t the easiest of matches. Trinidad and Tobago gave them a hard time but unfortunately conceded an own goal and couldn’t capitalize on their chances.

So it will be England vs. Ecuador and Germany vs. Sweden.
