Instead of publishing fifteen stories telling you fifteen pieces of news, we are going to publish one and tell you about as many as possible in as short a way as possible, so you get a digest of World Cup news.

To begin with, the French team that went on strike yesterday, annoyed that Nicolas Anelka was sent home are back in training. That lasted long didn't it.

Brazil are confirmed to play in the last sixteen although they are not yet confirmed winners. We have Portugal v North Korea today and if either side win, Brazil will have to play the next game needing a win to confirm it, but if there is a draw today, Brazil will win the group.

Zidane speaks

But Brazil confirming their place in the final sixteen isn't enough for Zinedine Zidane who has said that that Spain are the favourites, despite them only playing one game and losing that to Switzerland. He seems to have written off the French and we don't blame him and he had to pick Spain, for lots of reasons.

England News

Moving on; Fabio Capello has confirmed that Matthew Upson will make play for England on Wednesday in the must win game. If they do win, England will win the group, but you wouldn't have thought that based on the English press.

Brazil

Lastly with this little round up, Dunga is very unhappy with the Kaka sending off yesterday. So are we if you didn't know, but for entirely different reasons.

He is unhappy because it was cheating. We are unhappy because everyone was cheating yesterday and Brazil scored their second goal by cheating, but Dunga will say nothing about that and if yo ask him, he'll say he didn't see it.

Australia and Cameroon

Go on then, one more bit; Paul Le Guen is favourite to succeed Pim Verbeek as the next coach of the Australian team. This is just speculation and not entirely World Cup related as Le Guen is currently coaching Cameroon - who still have a game to play despite knowing even if they won 5-0 they were still going home.

Right, if you like the one page round up, let us know and we will do more, probably two or three a day. If you say nothing, this might very well be the only one. Ever.
