Holland top group with win over Denmark
The Netherlands, who have been tipped to win their first World Cup, have gone top of Group E after a 2-0 win over the Danes.

Cameroon falter as Italy held by Paraguay
Japan beat Cameroon to go level on points with Holland with an unlikely win over Cameroon. Cameroon looked lacklustre in a relatively boring game with eto'o placed out on the right wing.

Gary's scored!
(Its just coincidence that the picture I put up of Lineker happpened to include his missus)
