PORTUGAL 2 - 0 IRAN 
Portugal still don't look completely whole. Ronaldo is still the ball hog that he always is at ManU...but they still manage to keep on winning.
GHANA 2 - 0 CZECH REPUBLIC 
Ghana show that they didn't come into this World Cup to get walked on!!
To be honest though, I didn't think they had a chance in this match! Very entertaining match though.
ITALY 1 - 1 USA 
The US looked great early, very inspired play.
German great, Franz Beckenbauer was right, when he said, earlier this week that there were too many yellow cards in this World Cup. There were a total of 7 cards. Italy had 2 yellows and 1 red & the US had 2 yellows and 2 reds.
Another blogger, the Unknown Column wrote about Italy's passion for diving here....I think it showed in this game. All they would have to do is "feel" a US player near them and they'd go down to the pitch.
I'm not the biggest Team USA soccer fan, but having 24 fouls called against you, compared to the 13 that were called against Italy....there's something wrong here. Hopefully that ref won't be in charge of another match in this World Cup.
