With Spain beating Chile 2-1 and Switzerland and Honduras playing to a 0-0 draw, the knockout stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is set to begin on Saturday.
First let’s list the groups winners and runner-ups:
- Group A: Uruguay, Mexico
- Group B: Argentina, South Korea
- Group C: United States, England
- Group D: Germany, Ghana
- Group E: Netherlands, Japan
- Group F: Paraguay, Slovakia

- Group H: Spain, Chile
And here’s the schedule for the second round:
Saturday, June 26th:
- Uruguay v South Korea 10:00 AM, ESPN
- United States v Ghana 2:30 PM, ABC
Sunday, June 27th:
