Colombia 2, Ivory Coast 1; Uruguay 2, England 1; Greece 0, Japan 0

Tonight we’ll play against Honduras. Do-or-die.

Uruguayan Luis Suárez, inactive previously, scored twice against the English. What a difference one player makes. … Against the Ivorians, Colombia’s star was Old Man Yepes, playing his one-hundredth game (this tournament, I’ve not seen a neater tackler). His team qualified for Round 2 due to Japan’s dour draw with Greece.
