For the man who led South Korea's defense during its journey to the World Cup semifinals in 2002, the performance of the team's backline and goalkeeper against Algeria on Sunday must have been particularly hard to watch.

Teenage forward Divock Origi turned a listless Belgian performance into a late 1-0 win over Russia on Sunday, enough to qualify for the next round of the World Cup with two straight victories.

Portugal coach Paulo Bento said Saturday his team can start packing their bags if they don't beat the United States on Sunday in Manaus.

Portugal were thrashed 4-0 by Germany in their Group G opener and anything other than a win against the U.S. would take qualification for the last 16 out of their hands.

Highly-rated young midfielder Paul Pogba did not start the Group E game against Switzerland for tactical reasons, not because he was being punished for his excitable performance against Honduras in the opening game, said France coach Didier Deschamps.

Moussa Sissoko started in the impressive 5-2 win instead of Pogba, 21, and who had been fortunate to stay on the pitch during a fiery altercation with Honduran hard-man midfielder Wilson Palacios in the first-half of the previous match.
