| 03.07.2010 | Argentina  vs  Germany = 0 : 4 (HT = 0 : 1) Muller, 3 / Klose, 67, 89 / Friedrich, 74 2 x for Argentina YELLOW CARD 1 x for Germany YELLOW CARD Venue: Green Point Stadium / Referee: R Irmatov / Attendance: 64,100 | | Argentina squad | Germany squad | 22 Romero /02 Demichelis 04 Burdisso / 06 Heinze 15 Otamendi / 07 Di Maria 14 Mascherano Captain 20 Maxi / 09 Higuain 10 Messi / 11 Tevez | 01 Neuer / 03 Friedrich 16 Lahm Captain 17 Mertesacker / 20 Boateng 06 Khedira / 07 Schweinsteiger 08 Ozil / 10 Podolski 11 Klose / 13 Muller |
Germany tore Argentina apart to book their place in the semi-finals and, for now at least, end Diego Maradona's dream of winning the World Cup as coach to go with his victory as captain in 1986. Inspired by Bastian Schweinsteiger and two-goal hero Miroslav Klose, Joachim Loew's side scored four times for the third game at this tournament in what was a devastating attacking display. The only cloud on Germany's horizon is that the impressive Mueller picked up a "booking". That means he will miss the last-four clash with Spain... |

| Paraguay vs Spain = 0 : 1 (HT = 0 : 0) 4 x for Paraguay YELLOW CARD 2 x for Spain YELLOW CARD David Villa snatched a late winner to book Spain's first appearance in a World Cup semi-final as they beat Paraguay in a largely disappointing quarter-final tie. Villa's goal after 82 minutes - his fifth of the tournament- struck one post, rolled across the goal-line and hit the other, before finally nestling in the net and came seconds after substitute Pedro had also hit the woodwork.

That's their changes all done already. 74 mins: SUBSTITUTION Stephen Appiah comes on for Samuel Inkoom for Ghana, before Diego Forlan lashes a right-foot free-kick from 35 yards that has Richard Kingson sprawling across his line as it flashes just wide of his left-hand post... 59 mins: YELLOW CARD Diego Perez is booked for a clumsy foul on Kwadwo Asamoah.. 55 mins: GOAL Uruguay 1-1 Ghana (Forlan) 54 mins: YELLOW CARD This quarter-final is starting to get stretched, which means expect more chances. John Pantsil is booked for a foul on Jorge Fucile on the edge of the Ghana area, out on the right. 48 mins: YELLOW CARD Uruguay's struggles continue as Egidio Arevalo is booked for obstructing Kevin-Prince Boateng. The great Paolo Montero would have been proud of that one. Muntari, 45min + 2 / That was the last kick of the half. And what a kick.. 38 mins: SUBSTITUTION Ghana are pressing, biting into their tackles - they've shrugged off a lacklustre start and are dominating this game now. Another blow for Uruguay as captain Diego Lugano limps off and is replaced by Andres Scotti... 36min: Ghana are a very defensive side.. 20 mins: YELLOW CARD Jorge Fucile is booked - could have been for either of his two fouls inside a few seconds, and the defender will be suspended if Uruguay reach the semi-final 8 mins : There's the first sign of Ghana players shooting from a silly distance - Kwadwo Asamoah shoots lamely wide from 25 yards when he should have just pumped the ball back into the Uruguay box.

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa got under way with a spectacular and vibrant opening ceremony at the 94,000-capacity Soccer City in Johannesburg. Watch the Video and READ MORE The ceremony was followed by the first game of the tournament between the hosts and Mexico, which ended 1-1. Watch the Video and READ MORE Africa is staging the World Cup for the first time, with 32 nations competing in 64 games until the final on 11 July. France and Uruguay contested a truly awful goalless draw in the second match of the 2010 World Cup at the Cape Town Stadium. The result ensured that both of the opening day Group A fixtures ended in draws - but there was much more to savour in South Africa's earlier game against Mexico. The match in Cape Town never really got going; instead of sparking into life, it deteriorated into a largely forgettable contest only briefly illuminated by the occasional moment of trickery and skill.

Nelson Mandela's great-granddaughter dies in car crash * Source: BBC / 11.06.2010 |
Nelson Mandela's great-granddaughter has been killed in a car crash after a concert on the eve of the World Cup. Zenani Mandela, 13, died when travelling home after the concert in Soweto, the Nelson Mandela Foundation said. No-one else was hurt. Zenani was one of Mr Mandela's nine great-grandchildren. The incident came just hours before the former South African president was due to attend the opening of the World Cup in Johannesburg. Early reports quoted police as saying Zenani had been travelling with Nelson Mandela's former wife, Winnie Madikizela, when the accident happened near Johannesburg city centre. But the Foundation told the BBC Winnie Madikizela was not in the car, which was the only vehicle involved in the crash at around 0030 (2230 GMT on Thursday). "The family has asked for privacy as they mourn this tragedy," said the Foundation in a statement. Zenani had celebrated her 13th birthday on 9 June. ... CLICK HERE and READ MORE on BBC |
