    <b>Best forwards: </b>Korea-Japan hasn't seen a busier day than the one 
    had by Senegal's El Hadji Diouf, a relentless blaze of speed and craft 
    along the left. (Cool, subtly blond buzz cut, too.) Partner Henri Camara 
    scored two wonderful goals.

    <p>
      <b>Most tireless forward: </b>Ireland's Damien Duff would have ruled the 
      day if not for Senegal's fine pair. Through pure effort, he made Spain 
      sweat. A tough character, he was nearly impossible to knock off the ball.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Most accurate prediction: </b>Would Spain's famous case of the yips 
      ever emerge? Aha! Spain, with superior skill, looked ridiculously 
      nervous against the feisty Irish. The Spaniards were fortunate to move 
      on.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Best team: </b>Senegal continues to look well balanced, unafraid and 
      motivated. The Lions, World Cup debutantes, can be clever, tough or 
      individually dynamic as called upon.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Most guts: </b>Make no mistake, blatant as Fernando Hierro's silly 
      foul was late against Ireland, many referees lack the nerve to make that 
      call &#8211; especially against a respected, veteran defender. Good for Swede 
      referee Anders Frisk.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Biggest improvement: </b>The second day of single elimination was 
      night-and-day different from the first two (yawn) unadventurous matches.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Riskiest decision: </b>Hoping to hold a one-goal lead, Spain yanked 
      most of its offense when it removed Raul, Fernando Morientes and 
      Francisco De Pedro. D'oh! Ireland equalized and Spain had little hope of 
      scoring in extra time.

      Not just a Golazo, a <i>Gol de Oro</i>! That means Golden Goal, FIFA's 
      preferred term for sudden-death goal. Senegal's Henri Camara took a 
      clever heel pass, beat a triangle of defenders at the top of the penalty 
      area then directed a shot that brushed the inside of the Swedish post.

      <b>Japan vs. Turkey (1:30 a.m., ESPN, Ch. 23): </b>Want to see two 
      industrious workhorses out wide? Watch Hasan Sas on the left and 
      mohawked Umit Davala on the right for Turkey. Key: Whether Turkey 
      goalkeeper Rustu Recber can fight past his thigh injury. Japanese 
      attacking midfielder Junichi Inamoto, 22, formerly at Arsenal but 
      apparently looking, is elevating his value. Japan is fresher than its 
      beat-up foes.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>South Korea vs. Italy (6:30 a.m., ESPN, Ch. 23): </b>Filippo Inzaghi 
      was disappointing for Italy against Mexico, a game salvaged on sub 
      Alessandro Del Piero's late equalizer. Which one will start alongside 
      Christian Vieri? The indefatigable co-hosts must be intrepid in breaking 
      down the best defense they've faced so far. Italian defensive workhorses 
      Alessandro Nesta and Christian Zanetti are injured.
