Mexico finally came out and showed what its strengths are: quality passing, lots of movement, excellent defending, but still the finishing could use some improvement. However, Mexico beat N. Korea 3-0 in a convincing win. England also showed quality from some very good players. Unfortunately a goal was called offside (that's been happening a lot in this tournament) and the score ended up 0-0 against a rather lacklustre Argentina on the night.

All the scores:

Group E
Egypt 1-0 Panama
Brazil 3-0 Austria

Group F
Mexico 3-0 N. Korea
England 0-0 Argentina
