FIFA 2010 World Cup South Africa – Monday 21st June game schedule.

Day 11 of the FIFA 2010 World cup in South Africa will be under way on Monday 21st June of the most watched sporting event in the world.

The competition starts to hot up with many surprises especially for European sides as Spain, England, Germany, Italy and France dropped unexpected points during the first two group stage matches played at the World Cup.

But another factor which made its mark on the competition was the amount of red cards seen by so many players. Just yesterday, Real Madrid and Brazil superstar Kaka was sent off for an alleged elbow on Ivory Coast’s Kader Keita.

Though it looked to be an accident, from the re-plays, the Ivory Coast winger made the most of the elbow that came towards his chest, dropping on the floor holding his face.

Sunday saw a total of three games played as usual. The first game of the day was between Slovakia Vs Paraguay where the Latin American side beat the Slovaks 2-0 to make their points go up to four and have an advantage against New Zealand as a draw is enough to guarantee progression to the knockout stages.

The second game of the day was between Italy Vs New Zealand which finished 1-1 though Italy, the last champions of the World Cup missed various chances, they could only manage a draw after falling behind against the Oceania side.

The final game of the day we between Brazil Vs Ivory Coast which finished 3-1 for one of the best teams in the world. The win put Brazil on six points and guaranteed admission to the knockout stages but for Portugal, Ivory Coast and North Korea, their fate will be determined in the final games.

Monday 21st June will see three games from Groups G and H marking the end of the second round matches.
