Game of the day: Remember: It's the knockout round. All teams must win to progress.First up is England-Ecuador, a game that the English cannot take lightly. England is currently in what we might call a "crisis of confidence." It did not impress its supporters in the first round and is suffering the wobblies up top with the loss of Michael Owen and the incomplete form of Wayne Rooney. It has worries in the back with keeper Paul Robinson looking more like Calamity James than, well, David James. And midfield play — it's really not up to snuff, is it?Wayne Rooney will look to lead England past Ecuador on Sunday. (Ross Kinnaird / Getty Images) Ecuador has shocked most observers (including us) with their skilled play outside of the high-altitude stadium that grants them such a huge advantage in qualifying. We think, however, that they were exposed by the Germans in Berlin and could be ripe for conquest. England is going to have to contain Carlos Tenorio and Edison Mendez up top, however.Second up on the day is Portugal-Holland in what is arguably the first true clash of heavyweights. And this is, dare we say, one delicious matchup.Just look at the rosters, man: Arjen Robben. Cristiano Ronaldo. Luis Figo. Edwin van der Saar, Costinha. Carvahlo. Deco. van Persie, Cocu, Babel.Portugal has won six straight. The Dutch have lost only ONE game out of their last 24. Portugal's in the second round for the first time since 1966. Holland has beaten them just once in nine attempts. Both teams are notorious for epic collapse in the most tragic possible way.What a game.Wouldn't it be nice if: Ecuador sent all those English fans home? This "Wouldn't it be nice if?" brought to you by the Stuttgart police department.Trecker's take: Portugal-Holland cannot be missed by anyone who considers themselves a fan of the sport. And, personally, we don't think England has to worry much at this moment and should ease up on their team.http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/5726420
