BRAZIL v NETHERLANDS Live streamingThe combined number of the games the two sides have gone unbeaten. The Oranje are on a sequence of 23 matches without defeat since a friendly reverse to Australia in September 2008, while Brazil have amassed ten games without a loss since a much-changed and already qualified Selecao lost a South Africa 2010 qualifier against Bolivia in La Paz in October 2009.Brazil defender Juan said,"It's hard for Brazil or the Netherlands to sit back. They play a similar game to us: they like to take the initiative. Quarter-final games are always very cagey and sometimes get bogged down. We'll be trying to score a goal in the first half so we can play with a bit more freedom." On the otherhand Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk said,"Taking on Brazil is a tremendous challenge for us, but we're staying focused on achieving our objective, which is the world title. The Brazilians have a mature and solid team, who give off a positive type of arrogance: an air of invincibility. For the first time, the Netherlands are going into a game as underdogs."

Argentina VS Mexico LIVE streaming watch
14 current players are survivors of the two nations’ last FIFA World Cup meeting in Leipzig in 2006. Amongst the eight Mexicans and six Argentinians is midfielder Maxi Rodriguez, whose superb volleyed winner for the 1986 champions was named by FIFA.com readers as the goal of the 2006 finals.“We’re going to give Mexico the respect they deserve because, in spite of losing against Uruguay, they know exactly what they're doing. We will try to get at them and look for their weaknesses. They will have to respect my players as well because we’re putting together a very good tournament and we'll give everything for the shirt,” Diego Maradona, Argentina coach.“It’s Argentina, but so what? There is always a lot of pessimism in Mexico. Unfortunately sometimes we don’t believe in ourselves and we don’t have that extra self-belief that other teams have. We need to change that mindset. Argentina can be beaten and that’s the way we need to approach the game,” Rafael Marquez, Mexico captain.

USA and England LIVE stream



USA and England FIFA world cup 2010 match will be start Rustenburg in south africa.The World Cup knows that one of the biggest upsets ever took place in 1950 when the United States defeated England, 1-0, in Brazil.South Africa, a U.S. win would not be considered such an upset. While England is currently ranked eighth in the world, the United States is not far behind at qnumber 14."It's nice when there's a little connection to the past, but at the same time as you prepare for this game that's not a big factor," said Bob Bradley. "Whenever we're playing we do a good job of knowing what our opponents are all about. We respect our opponent. We've played against top teams in the last four years and we know what that's like. So England fits all that. They're a top team. We know their players well. We respect them, but we're excited about playing them.
USA and England LIVE stream
We look forward to it.""I think I've played enough against them that I like to think I have a little bit of an advantage but I don't think that's huge just because I've played against them," said Tim Howard. "In fact it's probably the opposite, you know. With the unknown you're a little bit carefree and gung-ho, you know. Knowing what I know about them, sometimes I'm actually a little bit cautious, but hopefully not in this case.""I think it'll be tough but at the same time great because I think the first game always sets the tone for the rest of the tournament," said Jozy Altidore. "So it'll give us a real good opportunity to put us either in the driver's seat or a put us in a good place going into the next game for sure.""In a World Cup, you know you're going to need every guy, from the first guy to the 23rd guy," said Michael Bradley. "So the fact that we have good options, that's only going to help our team."The other two teams that England and the USA will face later in Group C are Algeria and Slovenia. But both know this head-to-head opening match is the one that is drawing the most interest.

Korea Republic vs Greece live stream


Korea Republic vs Greece 4th match FIFA world cup 2010 will be start Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in south africa.South Korea has participated in seven World Cup final tournaments and became the first and only Asian team to reach the semi-finals, doing so when it co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Japan. South Korea is considered as one of the most successful international football teams in Asia. It has qualified for its eighth World Cup final tournament, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, having been the only unbeaten team during the AFC qualification tournament.
Korea Republic vs Greece live streamThe 2002 FIFA World Cup was hosted jointly with Japan. Led by Dutch coach Guus Hiddink and assistant coach Pim Verbeek, South Korea defeated Portugal as well as European powerhouses Italy and Spain.During the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, South Korea achieved their first World Cup victory outside of Asia by beating Togo 2-1 in Frankfurt on June 13. Against France, the team managed a late equalizer from Park Ji-Sung to end up with a 1-1 tie and this put them tied with Switzerland on top of their group. However, they were knocked out of the tournament after a controversial 2-0 loss against Switzerland, while France advanced with a 2-0 win against Togo.After winning the Euro 2004, Greece were considered favourites to top their group, in the 2006 World Cup qualification. The team was drawn into Group 2 along with Ukraine, Turkey, Denmark, Albania, Georgia and Kazakhstan.
In their first qualifier, Greece could not handle the game with Albania and lost 2-1, which was the reason Greece could not go to Germany for the 2006 World Cup. Afterward their matches were followed by draws (home and away respectively) with Turkey and Ukraine, before defeating Kazakhstan 3-1 at home. It was thought that the team was back on course as the 2-1 win over Denmark, with Zagorakis scoring his first ever goal in over 100 caps. This was followed by wins against Georgia and Albania and a respectable away draw with Turkey. However, despite dominating the game, Greece lost at home to Ukraine 1-0 having two goals disallowed. Three months later, Greece barely escaped embarrassment as they scraped to a 2-1 away win against Kazakhstan in the dying seconds. Greece was defeated 1-0 by Denmark in Copenhagen as chances for a qualification through a playoff looked dismal after a 1-0 win of Turkey in Kiev against the already qualified Ukrainian side. In their last game, Greece defeated Georgia finishing 4th, four points behind first-placed Ukraine and two behind Turkey. Throughout the match, the 30,000 fans in the Karaiskákis Stadium chanted the name of Otto Rehhagel in their utmost support and he said afterwards "Even if 10 years pass, part of my heart will be Greek". There was a dissatisfaction with the selection of the team by Otto Rehhagel throughout qualification campaign from some journalists as they argued that he was sticking to exactly the same Euro 2004 squad even though some players didn't even have a club and was overlooking others most notably Ieroklis Stoltidis of Olympiacos and Akis Zikos of Monaco.On 25 May 2006, less than a month before the opening of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Greece lost 1-0 to Australia in a friendly match in front of 95,103 people at the MCG.

Player for player, there is no better national team than ours


world champions in 1978 and 1986, were far from impressive in qualifying for this year's event and are not considered one of the main favourites to lift the Trophy.Messi was warned against underestimating his side, saying in Clarin: "Player for player, there is no better national team than ours".Lionel Messi feels that, man for man, there are no better teams than Argentina at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.Much is now expected of the 22-year-old in the FIFA World Cup, but Messi has shrugged that off, saying: "At this stage I don't have to prove anything. I've come there to do things well for me and for my team-mates."

Sepp Blatter hopes

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has spelled out his desire to see the World Cup leave a long-lasting social legacy in South Africa."Just being in South Africa has already made me very happy," Blatter said.So in some ways the Africa dream will already have come true when the World Cup trophy is handed over to the winners in Johannesburg.But what is more important is the activities we are carrying out for football development under our 'Win in Africa with Africa' initiative or for social development with our various Football for Hope programmes and centres.Blatter, in an interview with Fifa World, the official magazine of football's world governing body, continued: "Just bringing boys and girls together, organising schooling and health education, proving the tools and the incentive to fight against poverty and disease - that is the legacy we want to leave. Blatter said,"I have never said that Fifa or even football in general can eradicate poverty or cure terrible diseases but our sport can certainly play a significant part in how those problems are tackled."Blatter admitted that staging the World Cup in Africa would be the realisation of a long-standing ambition. "It has been important to me since the day in February 1976 when I first visited Addis Ababa to start work on one of Fifa's first development courses," he said."I had been working at Fifa as a development officer for just a year and that visit really opened my eyes to what football really is about and what it means to Africa.
"I fell in love with Africa that day and of course I promised myself that I would come back one day. Of course my work took me back many times after that and I became convinced that the football world had to give something back to this continent which has already provided so many talented players for the leagues in wealthier countries.

Rooney best striker in the world :Howard

Wayne Rooney as the best striker in the world but believes that USA's own forwards can trouble England in their FIFA World Cup.He has immense respect for the 24-year-old who is pivotal to England's hopes of doing themselves justice in South Africa during the next month.Howard said: "I get asked if I am looking forward to facing Wayne Rooney. I don't think I ever look forward to facing Wayne Rooney."He is the best striker in the world and has enjoyed a fantastic season. He is a fantastic player, so I'll be very careful what I say! But we also have Edson and Robbie who are playing fantastic together, individuallly and collectively, with the way they are linking up.Howard said: "I am devastated for Rio as I am sure most of his team-mates and his friends are. I don't know how it will affect the team but I think they are all very strong characters. As the week goes on, I am sure they will be fully prepared for the game ahead."He said: "I saw an improvement from the Czech game, I saw an improvement to the Turkey game and again in the Australia game. I think it is still a work in progress and we are trying to get better.
