England finally made it to the second round where they will play a classic match-up against Germany. Amazing to see the English so satisfied after only beating Slovenia 1-0 and being second in their group. England really needs to get its act together versus Germany.
Team USA showed that with spirit you can get results with a minute 91 goal from a tearful Donovan. Must be worth $5 million in sponsorships for the chap, no wonder he was crying.
In Group D Germany and Ghana made it to the second round, with Australia at a given moment only two goals away from qualifying. The Serbians almost tied in the end and blamed the referee for missing out on what they claim was a handball in the Australian box.
Today's game estimates by the Simulator are below.

Italy are strongly favoured over Slovakia.

Paraguay should take care of New Zealand. But don't underestimate the kiwi's spirit.

In Group E all Denmark needs versus Japan is a tie, so the Japanese need to go for it and will open the game to counterattacks.

Cameroon has no chance of qualifying, they will play for honour. Hopefully they will avoid unnecessary rough play on the Dutch.
Probabilities of passing to second round:
Italy 74.5%
Slovakia 18.2%
Paraguay 93.2%
New Zealand 14.0%
Netherlands 100.0%
Japan 21.6%
Cameroon 0.0%
Denmark 78.4%
