6. France vs. Mexico, June 17, 2:30 p.m. -- History may see France as a dubious World Cup participant, given Thierry Henry's naughty handball and an unconvincing overall qualifying campaign. Still, there's something to like about this squad, thanks to talented attackers like Franck Ribery, Florent Malouda, potential super-sub Henry and others. Mexico has never advanced past the second round in a World Cup played outside its own borders. Still, there's something to like about this squad thanks to sassy young attackers like Giovani Dos Santos, Carlos Vela and new Manchester United signee Javier Hernandez. Given the tournament history of host nations advancing out of the first round, South Africa could find a way through, which means the second spot from Group A could well come down to this one.
6. 法国vs. 墨西哥，6月17日下午2:30 法国晋级世界杯，连历史都会对自己的眼睛产生怀疑，亨利的 “大帝之手”滑稽可笑，如此之役竟助球队晋级世界杯决赛圈，难以服众。不过，如果说起这支队伍还有什么值得向大家做交代的话，那就是他们毕竟还拥有像里贝里，马卢达这样的锋线上天才，以及潜在的超级替补的亨利和其他人等。墨西哥好像在国界之外世界杯上，就从来没有挤进过第二轮的比赛。不过，对这支队伍还有什么要说的话，就是他们还拥有年青气盛的小将，如多斯桑托斯，卡洛斯维拉和与曼联新签的埃尔南德斯。考虑到世界杯赛有这样一种历史传统，即东道主皆有从第一轮中胜出的规律，南非也会一样，这就是说，在进入杯赛的第二轮中，下一个对手就是从A组一跃而出的南非。
