Day 11 awaits.
I am losing track, I must say.
Yeah, but that's... I think on various points today, I thought it was either Sunday or Friday.
That's a week out.
Anyway, day 11, we'll call it.
Groups G and H. We'll get on to those next.
Groups G and H, which is exciting, you may recall them playing last Monday, these eight teams, and they produced a record equaling four draws at the World Cup.
What's going to happen this time around?
Well, of course, in Group H, which sees Spain take on Saudi Arabia and Uruguay against Cape Verde.
Everything's tied.
Spain looking for their first win of the competition, of course, and Uruguay taking on Cape Verde later on in Miami.
And in Group G as well, it's all square ahead of Belgium's clash with Iran and New Zealand against Egypt, which is taking place in Vancouver.

Michael, one of the most talked-about players of the opening set of games is New Zealand's potential superstar in the making, Elijah Just.

What a combination they were against Iran.
