PrintOn the tenth day, I rested. But I didn't miss the matches. Quick recaps:
Slovakia 0-2 Paraguay: Paraguay was in control from start to finish. An impressive showing by a team that should top its group.
Italy 1-1 New Zealand: Another shock by the Kiwis. In the worst officiated match so far (and that's saying something), Italy converted a dubious penalty and was fouled 25 times to New Zealand's 11. Shots were 23-3 to the Azzurri, but all 3 nearly beat backup Federico Marchetti (otf broke a lamp on a near-miss). Still all to play for in Group F.
Brazil 3-1 Cote d'Ivoire: This match was closer than the final score, but the selecao definitely displayed the jogo bonito. Lille's Gervinho was a sparkplug for the Elephants; too bad he only came on at 2:0.
Villarreal watch: Nilmar did not play in Brazil's 3-1 win, but with Kaka's red card and the resulting one-match suspension, he should get a chance against Portugal on Friday.
And some highlights from Villarreal B 1-2 Salamanca:

Kaka – 2 Yellow cards = 1 Red Card = 1 match ban

I didn’t know there was a discretionary policy in terms of awarding suspensions. Apparently FIFA holds a hearing to determine whether it will be one or two games. But you likely are correct, thanks.

A further operation for Santi Cazorla could mean that he misses the start of the season.
