41. Czech Republic
Group A lost 2-1 to South Korea.
Slow and thoughtful. Wasted a lead. It wasn’t the Czech Republic that stole hearts at Euro 96.
42 Uzbekistan
Group K. Lost 3-1 to Colombia
No lack of courage and enjoyed their first World Cup goal. But has struggled to adapt to Colombia’s dynamism.
43. South Africa
Group A lost to Mexico 2-0.
Couldn’t have been more generous to their opening day hosts. The attack offered little. Gave the ball away for fun. And finished with nine men.
44. Qatar
Group B. Draw 1-1 with Switzerland.
A lucky draw. They should have stayed out of sight who were damaged by a Switzerland team.
45. Paraguay
Group D. Lost 4-1 to USA.
The US has been hurt and it could get worse. The defensive style looks awful.
46. Tunisia
Group F. Lost 5-1 to Sweden.
History makers – as they sacked their manager after their opening game. That’s how bad Tunisia was.
47. Panama
Group L. Lost 1-0 to Ghana.
Involved in the worst game of the World Cup so far. Ghana were playing for a draw when they hit the winner in the 95th minute.
48. Curacao
Group E. Lost to Germany 7-1.
Despite a 7-1 defeat on their World Cup debut, their equalizer against Germany will at least be a moment they will never forget.
