The last games of the group stages begin today, and that means the matches will be played simultaneously. This is done to avoid any shenanigans (See Germany-Austria, 1982 World Cup).
France vs. South Africa
10:00am - ESPN 2, Univision
Winner: South Africa
France still has a chance to qualify, but most people involved probably just want this disaster to end. With that said, they should still have enough talent to pick up the win, but will be playing without captain Patrice Evra who was dropped for, well, not being a very good captain, among other things. South Africa gets the win and goes out in style.
Mexico vs. Uruguay
10:00am - ESPN
Winner: Uruguay
Both teams can advance with a tie, but with Argentina likely waiting in the next round for the group runner-up, they'll want to go for the win to avoid Messi and co. in the knockout rounds. They each have strong offenses, but give the nod to Uruguay because they have a more stout defense. Mexico is also without Carlos Vela and Efrain Juarez, both of whom started the first two matches.
