		<title>Group D: The Crunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following the surprising scorelines from the last round of games in Group D, all four sides still stand a chance of making the knock out stages.

Serbia kept their dream of escaping the group a real shot in the arm with their surprise victory over Germany, whilst Australia's brave draw with Ghana has given them a chance – albeit a slight one – of making an appearance in a second consecutive World Cup last-16.]]></description>

		<title>England v Algeria&#8230;A girl&#8217;s eye view</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
So while everyone analyses Fabio Capello’s formation and team tactics, let’s face it, as much as we all want England to win, screaming at the TV just won’t help. Neither will booing.
Sunday’s match was like watching a dog chasing its tail, and so naturally my eyes also began to wander away from the ball. [...]]]></description>

11th June
South Africa 1 – 1 Mexico
France 0 – 0 Uruguay
17th June
South Africa 0 – 3 Uruguay
France 0 – 2 Mexico

Having witnessed an uninspiring first round of matches, most notably accompanied by plentiful criticism of the French, fans were much looking forward to a more direct, purposeful second set of fixtures. Indeed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Group B: Argentina vs South Korea, 17 June 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite the win, Argentina undoubtedly had a frustrating start to the World Cup against Nigeria. Argentina went into this game looking to prove their right to be called one of the favourites.
Argentina went for a 4-3-3 formation again, but with perhaps a slightly more attacking slant, replacing Juan Sebastian Verón for Maxi Rodriguez.
South Korea, on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Group C: England v USA, 12 June 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
England had to settle for a disappointing point on their opening game of the World Cup as Robert Green’s inexplicable mistake gifted USA a well-earned point.
Steven Gerrard had given England the perfect start as he shot past Tim Howard following good work by Emile Heskey. The England captain collected a cute lay off from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should the vuvuzelas be silenced?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of debate these past couple days about whether the vuvuzela, the South African stadium horn, should be banned from matches. A number of people watching at home from all over the world have complained to their respective broadcasters about the constant droning noise that accompanies this year&#8217;s World Cup. French captain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Group B: Argentina v Nigeria, 12 June 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This game was always going to be a bit special for Argentina coach Diego Maradona. His final ever international match was against Nigeria in the 1994 World Cup, before he failed a drug test and was banned from the tournament. Now, he&#8217;s facing the Super Eagles in his first ever World Cup match as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Group B: Greece v South Korea, 12 June 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Greece were on the whole unimpressive in their opening game against South Korea, but will be thanking Zeus they didn&#8217;t suffer a heavier defeat.
South Korea lined up with a 4-2-3-1 formation, making it their priority not to concede in their opening match of the tournament.
Greece went into the game having yet to score in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Italy
The World Champions are the strong favourites to top this group and are expected to cause some heartbreak in the knockout stages. But even as World Champions they aren’t favourites to reach the final in let alone reclaim their title. How far and brightly will their 2010 campaign blaze?
Paraguay
Paraguay considered favourites to progress to the [...]]]></description>
