Paraguay vs Japan

Paraguay waited 80 years to make the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, and undoubtedly didn’t mind the extra 40 minutes needed to eliminate Japan via penalty kicks in Pretoria on Tuesday.

Oscar Cardozo made it 5-for-5 in the penalty kicks, with Yuichi Komano hitting the crossbar on Japan’s third attempt to end what had been a scoreless match through regular play.

Spain vs Portugal

Spain vs Portugal

The World Cup round of 16 fixture between Spain and Portugal will take place at the Green Point Stadium, Cape Town on Monday 28th June 2010, kick-off set for 7:30 PM. As many fans recall just two years ago to the day of this match, Spain finally broke through and won a major tournament for the second time and lifted the European Championship trophy. If they are to go one step further now and break their World Cup tradition of failure they are going to have to significantly ramp up their performances, starting against their peninsular neighbours the solid Portugal and their defend first, attack later philosophy.
