Paraquay Score

And yet another 'keeper joins Rob Green's 'Catastrophic Calamity Club.' From no mates on Saturday night to two mates late on Monday night. Paraquay's Villar completely missed Pepe's corner and De Rossi rushed in at the back post to equalise for the Azzuri (the World Cup holders) after Paraquay had taken the lead in the first-half through Alcaraz.

The run of bad luck continued for WC2010 'keepers of late as Buffon was replaced at half-time by Marchetti.

The first game of the day saw Holland beat Denmark 2-0 with one of the Dutch goals being the craziest you will ever see.

At the start of the second-half Simon Poulsen attempted to clear a Robin van Persie cross only to head the ball against Agger's back and for the ball to bounce over the line past a stranded Sorensen.

All together now!!  'Ag....ger do-do-do, off me back and into the net, Ag...ger do-do-do stop smiling Simon Poulsen.......etc, etc!!'

The reaction of Poulsen was absolutely priceless. He couldn't stop smiling, however I am sure his beamer was more out of surprise and unfortunate luck than anything more sinister.

Kuyt sealed Netherlands win with a close range tap-in after Elia's initial shot bounced off the post.

Japan created a little piece of history for themselves, when they won their first World Cup finals match on foreign soil as they beat Samuel Eto'o's Cameroon 1-0 at Bloemfontein's Free State Stadium.

Honda (The Power of Dreams) scored Japan's goal in the first-half with a simple tap-in seven minutes from half-time.
