France 5 and Switzerland 2
The score was 5-0 for most of the game but the French rested too much at the end causing them to concede 2 goals. There would have been a sixth goal but the referee's time up whistle blew just a second before the ball went into the net.
Ecuador 2 and Honduras 1
The ball went back and forth and hovered around the goal many times. There were many controversial points where goals could have been called but were not. In the end the better team won but Honduras is not out yet.
Argentina 1 and Iran 0
This match was almost a draw were it not for a late goal by Messi. One key point here... Is Argentina going to survive the 16 nations group if they play this way? Granted, the Iranians had a good defense but it seems that only Messi can score goals for Argentina?
Germany 2 and Ghana 2
The way this match was going Ghana could have won. It was delightful to watch from start to finish but the second half was particularly entertaining. This game showed that the Germans are not indestructible and can have games pulled away from them if they are not careful.
Nigeria 1 and Bosnia 0
Watching this game was almost like watching a tennis match because the ball went from one end of the pitch to the next within seconds so often. There was a lot of poor passing especially on the side of Bosnia. There were also many controversial moments near goal that could have gone either way but in the end the Nigerians took it.
South Korea 2 and Algeria 4
South Korea could have done more but their first half was terrible it was almost like they were moving as zombies do. They made a good come back in the second half but it was too late especially as the Algerians continued to make goals.
