Soccer Updates like everyone else enjoyed the Portugal match and to think it was only 1-0 at half-time thanks to a goal from R. Meireles in the 29th minute. Soccer Updates wants to know exactly what the Portugal manager gave them to drink during the break because I want some. The poor Koreans looked liked rabbits in the headlights as Portugal went on to bombard Korea in what looked like shooting in practice for Portugal. Simao in the 53rd minute, H. Almeida just 3 minutes later, Tiago just 4 minutes after that and soccer updates were thinking will we see a 10-0 world cup match. Liedson made it 5-0 in the 81st minute and in the 88th minute C. Ronaldo scored a cheeky little goal as a pass hit the back of his neck, Ronaldo flicked it onto his head, down to his feet and wham in it went for 6-0 and as Ronaldo looked to the bench the legend Eusebio gave him the thumbs up sign. Tiago made it 7-0 in the 89th minute and we at soccer updates like you can’t wait for the Brazil vs Portugal match to see who tops this Group.

In the second match of the day soccer updates watched a dull affair as the Swiss tried to increase their record of not conceding a goal in the world cup and it looked like 0-0 until M. Gonzalez spoiled their record with a 75th minute goal. Spain and the Swiss are both now on 3 points each going into the final match but who will reach that elusive last 16, we will have to wait and see.

And what a great end to our world cup matches with Spain hitting their best free flowing soccer style again and no way was this Honduras side going to stop the Spanish Armada setting sail. I actually didn’t recognise Torres when he came out with his hair cut and back to black, we thought it was his younger brother but tonight proved one thing to soccer updates, David Villa is by far a better striker than Torres. D. Villa scored a fantastic goal where he turned and just roofed it into the net to put Spain ahead in the 17th minute and it was D. Villa that made it 2-0 in the 51st minute. Torres was substituted near the end and he was not a happy bunny but it was his own fault as he missed at least 2 clear chances. Soccer Updates thought D. Villa was going to get a hat-trick as he stepped up to take a penalty in the 62nd minute but he missed. Now Spain face Chile and Switzerland play Honduras. Chile look home and hosed on 6 points but who will get the other spot with both Spain and the Swiss on 3 points a piece, we at soccer updates feel Switzerland have the easier match so will Spain be going home, watch this space.
