FIFA 2010 World Cup South Africa – Friday 18th June game schedule

Day eight of the FIFA 2010 World cup in South Africa will commence on Friday 18th June with the competition beginning to take shape.

On Thursday we saw Argentina demolish South Korea 4-1 with the tournament’s first hattrick scored by Real Madrid and Argentina ace Higuain. The Greece Vs Nigeria game finished with the Greek’s winning the African side 2-1 after falling behind. But it is fair to say that Sani Kaita receiving a very silly red card played a big part in Nigeria’s loss. Nigeria will now hope for Argentina to beat Greece in the final games of Group B and Nigeria must beat South Korea.

The final game of the day was between France Vs Mexico and in theory, the Latin American side managed to pull a big surprise by beating France 2-0. However from the football played, France was very poor and did not look as though they wanted the win. Mexico deservedly got the all important three points which put France in extremely dangerous waters.

Friday 18th June will see three games from Group C and D with England’s game against Algeria being pick of the bunch.

Ooooh England, will the bad luck ever go away. England has some of the most talented players in the world, and most play in the best league in the world, The Premiership, but internationally the English side lack that luck factor that constantly derails them. As we saw in the England Vs United States game, after England went 1-0 ahead a huge gaff by England goalkeeper Robert Green made it 1-1.Well hopefully that will not be the case against Algeria.

The Fourth game of Group C, and the final game of the day will be played at the 64,100 capacity Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, which was demolished and re-built for the World Cup. The game will be played at 8:30pm local time (TR time – 9:30pm : UK time 7:30pm).
