Last phase in group matches begin

Nerve wrecking for some, do or die for some and chance to improve more for some. These next four days are vitally important. These days might well decide which team will go much further and which might get eliminated in next couple of rounds or even in this. Favourites like France, Italy and Czech Republic are not even sure if they will make it to round two and teams like Brazil, England and Netherlands are looking for a lot better game.

Today Group A and B will conclude. Nothing much in Group A, apart from Germany and Ecuador will play to decide who finishes top of the group which mind you has significance importance for the later rounds. And only Germany’s win will take them to the top a draw or a defeat will keep them at second place and that will be a shocker.

Ultimate rivals in football Sweden and England will battle out for first place in Group B, a win for any one of them will secure them the first position and avoid the clash with Germany. A draw will be enough for England but if Sweden lose and Trinidad and Tobago give a whopping to Paraguay (big if) then it is bye bye Sweden. But there is more to Sweden vs. England match then just table position, remember England have not able beat Sweden since 34 years and Sven-Goran Eriksson being the Swede adds an extra spice to the contest so look forward for an exhilarating contest.
