The Participators have all gone home and this has left the competitors and contenders to slug it out which each other. Yesterday marked the beginning of the Second Round/ Round of 16 and most importantly the Knockout Round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Here some more "big name teams" will be joining France and Italy on there way out of the competition.. It is often thought this round is where the Men are separated from the Boys as the real contenders show their real shape and form. In the Knock Out Round, form counts for nothing as it is one duel to the death where a moment of brilliance or share stupidity can lead to a teams glorification or disgrace. In Jamaican terms if "yu Slip yu Slide".
The USA and South Koreans were the first to exit.. and today either England or Germany, or Mexico and Argentina can will join them. This is not a round for the faint hearted nor the well favoured as some favourites will find them self holding the short end of the sticks. Expect the unexpected people, no team is safe.. as the game the world loves will show its cruel side.
