Thursday: Denmark 2 - 0 Senegal
  • Nicklas Bendtner did not feature for the Danes in their 2-0 win on home soil.
Saturday: Slovakia 1 - 1 Cameroon
  • Alex Song played 85 minutes on the back line as Cameroon needed an 82nd minute equalizer from Eyong Enoh to draw level with Slovakia.
Saturday: Spain 3 - 2 Saudi Arabia
  • Spain struggled to slip past Saudi Arabia, scoring their winner in second half injury time. Despite all of Spain's struggles in this match, Cesc Fabregas remained an unused substitute.
Sunday: Mexico 5 - 1 Gambia
  • Carlos Vela played 56 minutes in Mexico's four goal victory over the smallest country on mainland Africa. Javier Hernandez and Adolfo Herrera Bautista both picked up braces.
Sunday: Paraguay 2 - 2 Ivory Coast
  • Emmanuel Eboue was a halftime substitute for the African nation, in a match that was 0-0 at the half. Ivory Coast took a two goal lead before allowing Paraguay to score twice in the final 15 minutes to pull level.
Sunday: Japan 1 - 2 England
  • Theo Walcott struggled, along with the rest of the English squad, in their lucky 2-1 win over Japan, which saw the Japanese score both England goals in their own net. Walcott played only the first half and did not impress. He'll still likely make the final 23-man squad, but barely.
Sunday: Tunisia 1 - 1 France
  • William Gallas scored the equalizing goal in the 62nd minute as France pulled level with their former protectorate. He was subbed off after 64 minutes.
  • Bacary Sagna started the match on the back line as well, took a yellow card, and played 90 minutes.
  • Gael Clichy and Abou Diaby both appeared off the bench at the 64 minute mark.
