In order to take care of the needs of Asian fans, the match between South Korea and Greece is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. local time.

The match is scheduled at the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

South Korea got off to a good start with a 2-0 victory over Euro 04 winners with Lee Jung-so's goal in the seventh minute and Park Ji-sung's goal in the seventh minute of the second half.

Manchester United star Park Ji-sung was named the best of the match for his outstanding performance.

There was also a Group C match that night.

Group C, the seeded team and the favourites to win the World Cup, England, face the United States at the Royal Bafken Stadium in Rustenburg.

Just 212 seconds into the game, England got off to a dream start!

Glen Johnson threw the ball into the touchline from the right and Frank Lampard's stabbing pass was leaked by Wayne Rooney to Heskey. Heskey turned his back to the top of the box and knocked his right foot to Gerrard, who cut inside on the right.

Gerrard stopped the ball with his right foot and bounced with his instep from 12 yards out before Clark made a tackle!

The ball flies into the net from the bottom right corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

The Liverpool captain helps England get off to a fantastic start!

However, England were unable to hold a one-goal lead until the end of the first half. In the 40th minute of the first half, Dempsey broke through the middle and turned around to get rid of Gerrard, and volleyed with his left foot from 24 meters in front of the goal!

The shot was not too threatening, but England goalkeeper Green unexpectedly got out of his hands when he leaned over to hold the ball, and he turned around to catch the ball in vain, but the ball had already rolled into the net!

The ball is in!

The score became 1-1 and the U.S. team was lucky to equalize.

The two teams entered the second half with a score of 1-1, but neither team was able to score again, and in the end the two teams could only regret a 1-1 score, shaking hands.

England didn't get off to a good start, but there was no criticism from within the UK.

The Daily Mail headlined the story "Why England are closer to the title than Argentina after a humiliating draw!" Such a title, was commented.

"There is a strange phenomenon in England, they have never won two consecutive 'consecutive victories' in the opening game of the World Cup, beating Chile 2-0 in 1950 and being held to a 4-4 draw by Belgium four years later; In 1970, they beat Chile 1-0 in their first game, but did not qualify for the finals in the next edition.

defeated France 3-1 in the first game of the World Cup in '82, and Portugal was not inferior to Portugal in the first game after 4 years; Since 98, the results of the first match of England in the last three World Cups have been wins, draws, and wins, so this year it ended in a draw.

What made Capello even more mad was the way in which points were dropped, Green's low-level mistakes were a joke on either team, and it looked like England would have to change the goal next game.

The only consolation is that the draw was against the group rivals USA, and the next two opponents are weak, so England's qualification is not a big problem.

Argentina, another popular team that appeared on the same day, won a thrilling victory, although Messi was in a brave state and led the whole team to attack, but the problems exposed in the midfield and back were very serious.

In the face of Nigeria's counterattack in the second half, Argentina's midfield interception was weak and the defense was frequent, if it were not for the opponent's repeated misses, Maradona might not have been able to take all three points.

Compared with England and Argentina, perhaps Maradona, who won the victory, should be more worried. Nigeria has long been on a downward spiral, the overall disease has not been eliminated, and the individual ability is not as good as in previous editions, but even such an opponent, Argentina is quite difficult to deal with.

The U.S. team has always been strong in combat, and the 2-0 win over Spain and the 2-3 defeat to Brazil in the Confederations Cup showed the hardness, and compared to the opponents in the first round, England is more difficult than Argentina.

The reason why the defense is weak, Argentina's disease is rooted in the squad structure, Di Maria and Veron in the midfield are not very defensive, the former is unconscious, the latter is unable to run, although Tevez on the right side is very active, but after all, it is a forward style of play, and the help for the backfield is limited.

As for the two strikers, Messi and Higuain, they are not very used to dropping back to help defend.

In the central defence, Demichelis is a recognized time bomb, and the defense of the scorer Heinze is not reassuring, and the right-back Gutiérrez still makes a cameo. Among the ten Argentine players excluding goalkeepers, only Samuel and Mascherano are really good defensively.

It was the fatal flaw in the staffing that made Argentina's overall defensive and interception capabilities look very weak, Nigeria had too many openings in the second half in the midfield without being forced to carry the ball forward, and substitute left winger Oden Wenjie even had space to move with the ball in the penalty area.

Assuming that Argentina meet a stronger team, they may not be so lucky.

Argentina's problems are structurally large, while England's problems are individual form, with the former being a bit more difficult to correct, while the latter is relatively easy to solve.

Green is useless, Capello has this season's Premier League goalkeeper of the season Joe Hart, left-wing James Milner and Wright Phillips are not playing, but there is also Joe Cole's pawn who is getting better and better at the end of the season.

On top of that, England's overall formation is still very tight despite poor individual form, which is the result of Capello's long-term careful tuning, and the goal conceded in this game was an accident, and the British team basically did not give the United States too many chances.

In the attack, England played at a very high level in the second half, basically pressing the United States to play, but unfortunately only missed repeatedly.

Capello can quickly address the form-based issues in individual positions by switching personnel, but Argentina have always lacked a weakness in the overall tactical framework and may be difficult to improve in one or two games.

What's more, if you want to achieve results in the conference system, the whole and defense are the foundation and the key, and England's advantage in this area may determine that they will go further than Argentina. ”

At 1:30 p.m. on the 13th, the other match of Group C was played at the Pethmokaba Stadium in Borogwani.

The two sides are Slovenia and Algeria, the "Fox of Africa".

Algeria and Slovenia have never met before, and with England and the United States in their group, both teams are well aware that qualifying would be impossible if they lose.

Despite the hard work of both sides in the first half, the pitch was lackluster, leaving the fans in the stands to even play crowds......

In the twenty-eighth minute of the second half, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Algeria launched an attack on the left, Ziani crossed from the left, and the substitute striker Zale jumped to the top, seeing that he couldn't reach the football, he was anxious to block the ball with his raised right arm!

The referee showed him a second yellow card, two yellows and one red, and Algeria had to fight with one less man.

It was clear that the red card changed the morale of both teams.

Six minutes later, Slovenia attacked from the left, Jokic crossed low from the side, Koren stopped the ball and turned in front of the goal, and pushed a right-footed shot into the far corner from 20 meters in front of the goal!

Algerian goalkeeper Saudi held the ball sideways with both hands, but the ball bounced in front of him and slipped past him to the post and into the net!

The ball is in!

The score became 1-0!

With this lucky goal, Slovenia narrowly beat Algeria by one goal and got off to a good start, gaining the initiative for themselves to qualify from the group.
