So, we're more than half way through World Cup 2010, and on your latest edition of World Cup Daily, James Richardson, Barry Glendenning and Paolo Bandini look back on the last of the group games and shed a tear for the likes of Switzerland, Honduras, North Korea and Ivory Coast.

We start by hearing from Sid Lowe after Spain turned on the style - well, enough of it - against Chile to ensure that both sides made it to the knock-out phase.

From there, we speak to Fernando Duarte, whose Brazil side continued to bore as they played out a tedious and tetchy game with Portugal.

Finally, we look forward to the second round clashes between USA and Ghana, and South Korea and Uruguay. David Patrick Lane from the Guardian's Fans' Network tells us why 2010 could be the year for Los Charrúas. Check out his blog if you want to find out more about what he's up to in South Africa.

Tweet us during the day - we'll be back tomorrow night as usual with all the build-up to the England-Germany game.

Here's that Fabio Capello video we're talking about by the way. And apologies for Barry's dirty joke. The football wasn't great today...
