World Cup Day 14: Group F, Resolved
Sweden defeated Mexico, and South Korea eliminated Germany.
Final standings: Sweden 6+3, Mexico 6-1, South Korea 3+0, Germany 3-2.
For the fourth time out of the last five World Cups the defending champion falls in the group stage. Mexico was a little unlucky (deflection that fell to open striker, silly PK, then own-goal), but Sweden has played solidly all three games. Korea’s goalie has the game of his life, but still, what happened to Germany?
Looking ahead:
- Uruguay (A1) vs. Portugal (B2)
- France (C1) vs. Argentina (D2)
- E1 vs. Mexico (F2)
- England or Belgium (G1) vs. H2
- Spain (B1) vs. Russia (A2)
- Croatia (D1) vs. Denmark (C2)
- Sweden (F1) vs. E2
- H1 vs. England or Belgium (G2)
