Oh man, a traditional scrape through for Italia. Man, they give their fans heart failure!

Oh dear! How sad is this?

From the BBC:

Denmark could be without leading scorer Jon Dahl Tomasson for the clash against England on Saturday.

Reports from the Far East suggest Tomasson has been carrying a thigh injury for a while.

Tomasson, who has scored three goals in his side's three group games, missed Thursday's training session, as did Sunderland goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.

Former Denmark international Jan Molby said: "It's a massive blow for Denmark.

"All indications are that he will probably miss the game, He is the only player we can't do without.

Actually Tomasson scored four (4) goals in the group stage. And we still have Ebbe Sand in the attack - but it will still be a blow to us.

Seen from a danish perspektive, the loss of Sørensen in goal would be worse, as the replacements have no international expirience whatsoever.

Another day is over and four more teams are ready for the next stage

Brazil, Turkey, Mexico and Italy

Final Standings groups C

Brazil..........11-3....9
Turkey........5-3.....4
Costa Rica...5-6.....4
China..........0-9.....0

and G

Mexico.......4-2.....7
Italy..........4-3.....4
Croatia.......2-3.....3
Ecuador......2-4.....3

Although Brazil won all three games I'm not all that impressed - they had the easiest group and had the victory against Turkey gifted to them. We'll see how the do in the knock-out stage.

And I won't count out Italy - they were robbed against Croatia (by a danish linesman ). I'm sure they be ready for their next match(es).

And now the discusion can begin - which was the World Cup's worst team - Saudi Arabia or China?

Booo to Mexico for such an uneventful finish! That has to be a first in World-stage football. I've never seen such a terrible embarrassment to the game before. Passing the ball around for 4 minutes...terrible attitude..
