Spain won and they surely deserved it to win. It's the first team to qualify for Quarters.
Let's see who'll be the next.

Spain one of the favorites... question is whether they'll choke again?

Spain played like a good team in the 2nd half. I think they had some formation confussion in the first half.

Second place team will be Paraguay

1-0 South Africa Slovenia

SVN didn't seem to be playing very well, a bit lacklustre. They become the third team to be eliminated.

I think that means they only have to draw in their next match to go through to the next round or if paraguay was to lose against slovenia than SA would automatically go through.

WHAT-IF condition in this group ....

GROUP B | Wednesday, June 12

South Africa v Spain

Slovenia v Paraguay

        P W D L F A Pts

Spain 2 2 0 0 6 2 6
S Africa 2 1 1 0 3 2 4

Paraguay 2 0 1 1 3 5 1
Slovenia 2 0 0 2 1 4 0

Spain have already qualified and Slovenia are out. South Africa will qualify unless they lose and Paraguay win. The Paraguayans would also have to overcome South Africa's superior goal difference of three.

**Spain 3 south Africa 2

Paraguay 3 slovenia 1**

Spain and Paraguay are through.

I feel sad for South Africa this was the first match they showed they can play well and then they have to fly back home.
Well thats Football I guess.

Congraz to Paraguay and Spain.
Spain is another favourite of mine as long as they keep their play as it is.
