Few teams saw their second round uncertainty resolved on SUN 18 JUN 2006.
» Japan 00-00 Croatia: Darijo SRNA was stymied in the 22nd minute, when Yoshikatsu KAWAGUCHI saved his penalty.
» Brazil 02-00 Australia: ADRIANO scored at the start of the second half, and FRED at the close, to ensure Brazil's passage from Group F.
» France 01-01 Korea Rep: LEE Woon-Jae saved Thierry HENRY's header in the 32nd minute... but was it already in? Replays suggest that it was, and that play gained even more significance when PARK Ji-Sung equalised with just nine minutes left. The Koreans are now two points ahead of France in Group G.
