In the match day two of the group A, Spain managed to confirm their qualification to the semi final after defeating Iraq by a single goal. On the other match of the group, South Africa found little resistance from the infoerior New Zealand and won by two goals to nil.

Group A is free from surprising results so far. The 2nd match day in the group ended with two expected results. Spain achieved a narrow 1-0 win over Iraq while the South African's increased their hopes of reaching the semi final by beating the hopeless New Zealand by two goals to nil.

Both results were predictable. However, Iraq managed to limit Spain chances of scoring with their ultra defensive tactics while South Africa was content to scored just two goals against New Zealand.

On Thursday, matches in the group of death will continue. Egypt was underestimated by Brazil in the first match but the Pharaohs proved that they are far from being the underdog of the group.

The Egyptians showed the whole world that the mighty Brazil can be stopped. However, consistency is what the Pharaohs need to prove now as playing a great match against one of the top teams is not enough.
