England managed another win despite not playing well. They beat Ecuador 1-0 courtesy of a David Beckham trademark free kick. They will meet Portugal, who beat Holland in a tough game that ended up with 4 sent off and numerous yellow cards.

Italy beat Australia 1-0 thanks to a controversy injury time penalty kick by Totti. It is well taken by Totti. But the manner in which it's won leaves a sour taste in the mouth. The Aussies will feel hard done by the referee. They are joined in the quarter final by Ukraine, who beat the Swiss in a penalty shoot out in which the Swiss did not score any at all. The match ended 0-0 at full time.
