World Cup News -Ghana, Italy through

Group E, which played today, was the group to watch in the World Cup as the combined results had the potential to change the rankings significantly. In the end, that was not to be.

Ghana clinched a place in the last 16 with a win over the US. Italy won convincingly to finish top of Group E and eliminate the Czech Republic from the World Cup. (I had hopes for the Czechs)

Later today are the games of Group F. Its hard to imagine that Japan will slip by Brazil, but Croatia might make it if they can beat the Australians...
