Last 16: Uruguay 2-1 South Korea
The vuvuzelas and a fairly heavy luncheon sent me to dreamland for most of the first half of this one, which by most accounts was dominated by the Uruguayans. But the Koreans looked dominant in the second half and weren't shy of going forward, an attitude that soon resulted in an equaliser. However, the winner was a pretty decent cracker from just inside the area, in off the post, hurdle the hoardings (nearly kicking a photographer in the face) and celebrate with the subs in the rain. Great stuff.
