Far East shines as Africans disappoint

The Asian teams are showing the African sides what tournament football is all about. First it was South Korea giving the Greeks a lesson; today it was Japan, who looked comfortable against a disappointing Cameroon.

The other African teams, with the exception of Ghana, have fared little better, hosts South Africa hauled back by an unimpressive Mexican team, Nigeria limiting Argentina to a single goal and Algeria toothless against Slovenia.

Tomorrow it will be the turn of North Korea who have a mammoth task of stopping Brazil; similarly, Ivory Coast will find Portugal a stern opening test - but funny things happen in the World Cup, especially with that ball!
