Welcome to Adeke Emmanuel's football blog

GROUP F
Group F is already clearly defined, with Argentina through
after taking maximum points from their first two matches and
Nigeria only a point away from joining them.
The two sides meet on Wednesday in Porto Alegre, with the
Super Eagles needing a win to top the group and Alejandro
Sabella's men needing a point to do the same. A draw would
see both qualify.
Iran still harbour hopes of making the round of 16 but must
beat already eliminated Bosnia-Herzegovina while hoping
Argentina defeat Nigeria. There also needs to be a two-goal
swing in goal-difference in the Asian side's favour.

GROUP E
France took just two matches to all-but book their place in the
round of 16 in emphatic style, scoring eight goals, and their
goal difference makes it hard to see them finishing as
anything less than group winners, unless they lost
embarrassingly to Ecuador at the Maracana on Wednesday.
The South Americans must at least match the result of
Switzerland against already eliminated Honduras to go
through as runners-up.
Ottmar Hitzfeld's men have paid the price for their heavy 5-2
defeat to France and their poor goal difference means they
must beat Honduras and hope for a favour in Group E's other
match.

GROUP F matches have been played and from the results Argentina go into the knock out stage toping the group with Nigeria following them after they played 3-2 in favour if Brazil. Bosnia an Iran are eliminated from the tournament.
