Football tournament June 2018 Group G of the 2010 FIFA World Cup began on 15 June and ended on 25 June 2010.Match Schedule 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/64/42/24/fifawc2010matchschedulefinalversion.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20091228213032/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/64/42/24/fifawc2010matchschedulefinalversion.pdf dead 28 December 2009 FIFA.com Fédération Internationale de Football Association 6 December 2009 The group consisted of reigning Copa América champion Brazil, North Korea, the Ivory Coast and Portugal. Brazil and Portugal were also drawn in the same group at the 1966 FIFA World Cup, their previous official World Cup match. In 1966, the Portuguese team defeated Brazil 3–1, thus eliminating the defending champions, to advance to the quarter-finals where they encountered and defeated North Korea (another team in Group G) 5–3 after trailing 0–3. As winners of the group, Brazil advanced to play against Chile – runners-up in Group H – in the Round of 16, while Portugal – the Group G runners-up – met Spain, who won Group H. Ivory Coast finished third in the group and North Korea finished bottom. The North Koreans had a goal difference of −11, the worst of any team at the tournament, largely due to the 7–0 defeat they suffered against Portugal; that match was Portugal's biggest-ever World Cup win and North Korea's heaviest-ever defeat. It was also the first time a live football match was broadcast on North Korean television.https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/jun/21/north-korea-live-match-tv-7-0-beating North Korea broadcasts live match on TV for first time (pity they lost 7-0) The Guardian 21 June 2010 24 September 2010 Jonathan Watts David Hytner Standings main WDL standings complete FIFA 200 BRA POR CIV PRK KO KO Tie-breaking criteria 2 1 0 5 2 1 2 0 7 0 1 1 1 4 3 0 0 3 1 12 BRA POR CIV PRK Q green1 Advance to knockout stage Brazil advanced to play Chile (runners-up of Group H) in the round of 16.
