S 'n' S: World Cup Part 3

Argentina vs South Korea. Its already predictable that Argentina will win with ease. The outcome? A 4-1 win for Argentina with forward Gonzalo Higuain scoring the first hat-trick of this FIFA World Cup. The Argentinian was elected the Man of the Match. He scored in the 33th, 76th and 80th minute to secure another win for Argentina and reached in top 16 group of FIFA World cup 2010.

Spain vs Switzerland. Spain were clearly the favourites to win. However, the Swiss shocked the king of Europe. Gelson Fernandes's strike against the run of play earned them a 1-0 win against European champions and joint-tournament favourites Spain. Spain had clearly dominated possession but 24 shots with 8 on target is just pathetic when they have so many top players such as David Villa and David Silva.

With more brilliant matches to come, who knows what other shocks could happen. I am still rooting for England and I hope England will at least reach the semi-finals. All the best!
