This almost makes me feel sick.

8.20am: After yesterday, this World Cup jigsaw is fast coming together. So far the last 16 looks like this:
Uruguay v South Korea
USA v Ghana
with the winners meeting in the quarters, and:
Germany v England
Argentina v Mexico
with the meeting in the quarters.
Assuming results go as expected today and tomorrow - always a dangerous thing to do - we could see:
Holland v Italy
Spain v Brazil
with the winners meeting in the quarters, and:
Paraguay v Denmark
Switzerland v Portugal
with the winners meeting in the quarters.
So even though England are through to the last 16 after yesterday's 1-0 win over Slovenia, they should be shinning themselves today. Because one of Ghana, USA, Uruguay and South Korea will definitely be in a World Cup semi-final ... and Fabio Capello's side would have been in this top bracket if they had scored one more goal in any of their three group games.
