With both teams already eliminated from the tournament, Costa Rica and Poland will meet on Tuesday in Hannover with pure pride at stake. Costa Rica lost 4-2 to Germany and 3-0 to Ecuador and it is likely that Costa Rica will field the same team that played Ecuador.

Golden Goal reporting:

Another Monday starts and
another week of World Cup action kicks off. The tournament is really
heating up as teams are fighting for their the final spots and a shot
at glory. However, there is much to be decided in this final set of
action before the knock out rounds begin.

Over the weekend,

Saturday: Portugal 2 - Iran 0

Czech Republic 0 - Ghana 2

Italy 1 - USA 1

Sunday: Japan 0 - Croatia 0

Brazil 2 - Australia 0

France 1 - South Korea 1

Monday: The first game on Monday witnessed Switzerland
finishing strong with a 2- 0 win over Togo. Togo will be sent home,
but they have played well and should be a bit disappointed, but also
proud of their run at the World Cup this year. While the Swiss will be
moving on to the next round with one game left to play...

The Ukrainians
had had a tough time after losing their opening game by four goals, and
the papers at home were not at all kind to this team, calling them all
kinds of dis-heartening names. So it was not suprising that this team
came out blazing, scoring four goals of their own, showing their
criticsa thing or two about football, and possibly securing a spot in
the next round: Saudi Arabia 0 - Ukraine 4

It had appeared that Tunisia
would be playing the role of the upset kid yesterday. However it was
Spain who returned in the second half to play a complete game. Once
they got the scoring ball rolling it was all over for Tunisia as the
Spanish team was lead by El nino (Torres), and secured the number one
spot in the next Round of 16: Spain 3 - Tunisia 1
