World Cup Roundup Days 9-12

I have to apologize to my readers for not posting for the last few days. The US has positioned itself to win group C tomorrow if they beat Algeria. The greater risk is that England may not qualify if they don't beat Slovenia. The group of death has come back to hurt Cote D'Ivoire and the African nations so far. Today Argentina, South Korea, Mexico, and Uruguay qualified for the knockout stage. France finally scored, but it was too late. I don't expect France to have as many scandals and lack of unity and cohesion under the direction of Laurent Blanc. My only hope is that South Africa will be able to become a strong African soccer power in the World Cups of the future.
