So if the Swiss beat Honduras today Spain have to win against Chile or they're out.

In the other group, if Brazil can beat Portugal by two goals, (I'm not sold on that), then the Ivory Coast would need to win by seven over North Korea.

If Brazil can win 3-1 and the Ivory Coast 7-0, then we'll be at that drawing lots stage everyone would enjoy so much.

Except the Portuguese.

Provided it ends with another shot of Ronaldo crying, it's all good.

Can't decide whether Adam Sandler should star in the cinematic life story of Ronaldo, or whether Ronaldo should star in the life story of Adam Sandler.

Reasonable effort from David Villa there.

An empty-netter from maybe 50 yards out on the left sideline.

Judging from that match, the brothels of Bloemfontein will be untroubled by the Swiss and Honduran teams tonight.
