Portugal Played North Korea today in a Group F game, if you can call it that. North Korea faired alright against Brazil earlier despite still losing to them. They were destroyed in this game. Portugal scored 7 goals in this one and 6 of them came in the 2nd half. It's definitely the most goals any team has scored in one game at this World Cup. Actually, Portugal has scored more goals than any team has so far at the World Cup, period. North Korea, meanwhile, will have the displeasure of going back to North Korea and Kim Jong-il without making it past the group stage. Do I hear beheadings? Final was 7-0.
Group H played their games today with the first being Chile vs. Switzerland. The Swiss couldn't follow that upset over Spain with another win as they lost to Chile 1-0. Valon Behrami of Switzerland got a Red Card in the 31' which didn't cost the Swiss imediately as they held back Chile until the 75' when Mark Gonzalez scored with a header off a great pass from Esteban Paredes. Meanwhile, Spain looked for some redemption after their 1-0 loss to Switzerland. They got that with a win over Honduras, 2-0. David Villa scored both of Spain's goals and almost got his trick on a penalty but missed it. Spain most likely needs another win in their next game against Chile, who leads the group with 6 points.
