The cynics suggested that since a draw would have suited both sides, that is precisely what the Royal Bafokeng would see. Not so, Uruguay ensured they would avoid a meeting with their great and dangerous enemy, Argentina with a goal from Luis Suarez two minutes before the interval. Uruguay qualified for the round of 16 without so much as conceding a goal and will fancy their chances of overcoming South Korea. Mexico face the tougher looking assignement in Soccer City against Argentina. They will not fear Diego Maradona’s side, although here they looked nervous and apprehensive compared to the side that overcame France with only Giovani dos Santos shining.
