poptimistsGhana 0 Japan 2
Two early goals have given Japan one foot in the quarter-finals: the Japanese started brightly and were ahead within five minutes, then adding to Ghana's pain with a wonder strike after only another five. Ghana looked more organised as the half drew to a close, but have failed to turn what possession they have enjoyed into anything approaching a chance.
Not a boyband.
Brazil 0 Czech Republic 0
A gritty, committed game of half-chances and brutal challenges as the Czechs have battled well against an out-of-sorts Brazilian side who've been totally unable to recapture the fluency of their group stage performances. Both sides had one golden chance - an early shot from the Czechs was smothered by the Brazilian keeper, and at the very end of the first half a simple tap-in flew wide of the Czech posts as the Brazil manager screamed from the touchline. The Brazilians look the more likely to score but there's still every chance of a major upset here.
The deadline for voting on these games is noon on Monday.
