While Italy pack their bags and head for home, attention turns to the final set of group games which will finalise the second round line-up. Spain will be hoping not to follow Marcello Lippi's side on the traipse back to Europe, but they must do the necessary against Chile this afternoon to ensure their tournament doesn't end here. Switzerland face Honduras in the group's other game, where Ottmar Hitzfeld's side will have to overcome their default conservatism and go on the attack.
Group H is ostensibly decided, but Brazil and Portugal will scrap it out for top spot. Carlos Queiroz's side's seven goal demolition of North Korea essentially rules Ivory Coast out of the running for a place in the next round.
We look forward to these fixtures, and back on yesterday's action, as Day 14 gets underway in South Africa...
