Argentina 0-0 Sweden
Gilly Flaherty
Former England defender on BBC Red Button
Disappointing delivery, you would be expecting better.
Argentina did well to defend it because you know how dangerous Sweden are on the second phase too.
Post update
Argentina 0-0 Sweden
Sweden have a free kick on the right but the ball into the box is poor and behind everyone.
An opportunity wasted.
Post update
South Africa 0-0 Italy
South Africa have taken the lead in both their group games so far but have failed to hold onto the win. So far in this game they've been very cautious and barely wandered beyond the halfway line.
Post update
Argentina 0-0 Sweden
This is must win for Argentina and they've had the only effort of note so far in this game but it wasn't much to shout about as Mariana Larroquette scuffed a 35-yard effort well wide.

South Africa 0-0 Italy
Sue Smith
Former England international on BBC Two
Italy have played through the thirds quite well during the tournament, but they've lacked that end product.
Post update
South Africa 0-0 Italy
South Africa have had a lot of defending to do in these early stages with Italy on the front foot.
Valentina Giacinti receives a pass with her back to goal inside the box but she's marshalled well and the ball is cleared.

Argentina 0-0 Sweden
Gilly Flaherty
Former England defender on BBC Red Button
Argentina might not get many chances, they might be few and far between so they have got to look after it.
Post update
Argentina 0-0 Sweden
Sweden are backed by a decent amount of fans at the Waikato Stadium and they've made a good start to this game as an early cross is plucked out of the air by Vanina Correa.
KICK-OFF
Here we go! Two huge games in Group G.
Sweden are through, but who is joining them will be decided in the next 90 minutes.
Post update
The players are out on the pitch at both the Waikato Stadium and Wellington Regional Stadium.
Time for the national anthems.
Post update
Argentina v Sweden (0800 BST)
Before the Women's World Cup started, the prospect of facing world number one and defending champions USA in the knockouts would be a daunting one.
It still is, but their patchy form in the group stage shows their rivals that they are not quite at their best.
Sweden look certain to be facing the United States in the last 16 as they sit top of Group G, but who will be joining them? It is almost time for kick off in both games.
'It's gone down to the wire'
South Africa v Italy (08:00 BST)
Fern Whelan
Former England and Brighton defender on BBC Two
It is so exciting, the fact it has gone down to the wire. You can't really look at rankings anymore; Italy would have potentially been favourites to go through in this game, but South Africa have put in some great performances.
'Do or die'
South Africa v Italy (08:00 BST)
Given what is at stake, South Africa coach Desiree Ellis has likened this game to a final.
“We know it’s going to be a difficult game," she said.
"They are going to have to protect what they have and we have to come for the three points.
"It is do or die, nothing less than victory. We have really worked hard on a lot in the last few days, how we can hurt them. We can’t share that plan but we have worked on something we feel can get us the results."

Post update
Here's how things went in the last round of Group G fixtures.
'Sweden to steamroll Argentina'
Argentina v Sweden (08:00 BST)
Argentina need a win to have any chance of progressing, but that is just not happening.
Sweden are already though, and reminded everyone with their big win against Italy what powerhouses they are.
I can see them steamrollering over Argentina in the same way and winning 3-0.
'South Africa to edge through'
South Africa v Italy (08:00 BST)
South Africa need to win this one to finish second, otherwise Italy go through.
It is a huge moment for both teams, but especially Banyana Banyana, who are playing in only their second World Cup and have not made it out of the groups before.
If they can play like they did against Sweden, I can see South Africa doing it. That's why I am backing them to win 1-0, because I have seen how they can play, but they will have to change their habit of conceding late goals.
Team news
South Africa v Italy (08:00 BST)
Desiree Ellis makes two changes to her South Africa side that were denied a first ever World Cup victory by Argentina in their last Group G match.
Noxolo Cesane and captain Refiloe Jane, who was carried off in a stretcher with an ankle injury against the South American side, start on the bench.
They are replaced by Noko Matlou and Robyn Moodaly.
Banyana Banyana are without midfielder Kholosa Biyana, after she picked up a second yellow card in two games.
South Africa XI: Swart, Matlou, Mbane, Gamede, Dhlamini, Ramalepe, Moodaly, Motlhalo, Kgatlana, Seoposenwe, Magaia.
Subs: Dlamini, Cesane, Magama, Holweni, Kgoale, Moletsane, Salgado, Shongwe, Makhubela, Kgadiete, Jane.
Milena Bertolini only makes two changes from the Italian side that suffered a humilitating 5-0 defeat at the hands of Sweden.
Benedetta Orsi replaces Cecilia Salvai in defence, while Sofia Cantore is replaced by Valentina Giacinti.
Italy XI: Durante, Orsi, Di Guglielmo, Linari, Boattin, Giugliano, Bonansea, Beccari, Dragoni, Caruso, Giacinti.
Subs: Giuliani, Baldi, Severini, Cantore, Girelli, Glionna, Bartoli, Serturini, Lenzini, Greggi, Cernoia, Salvai.
Team news - nine changes for Sweden
Argentina v Sweden (08:00 BST)
Argentina are without defender Miriam Mayorga, who is suspended after picking up two bookings in the first two games. Julieta Cruz takes her place in the back four.
This is one of four changes for the side, which also sees midfielders Adriana Sachs, Aldana Cometti, Camila Gomez Ares come in.
Argentina: Correa, Cruz, Braun, Sachs, Stabile, Nunez, Bonsegundo, Cometti, Gomez Ares, Banini, Larroquette.
Subs: Esponda, Abigail Chavez, Benitez, Gabriela Chavez, Falfan, Gramaglia, Ippolito, Lonigro, Rodriguez, Santana, Singarella.
Having already secured qualification following two wins from two, Sweden ring the changes. Only two of the side that beat Italy 5-0 remain in the XI - defenders Amanda Ilestedt and Magdalena Eriksson.
Caroline Seger captains the side in a midfield three alongside Hanna Bennison (of Everton) and Madelen Janogy, meaning Manchester City's Filippa Angeldahl drops to the bench.
Star forwards Fridolina Rolfo and Stina Blackstenius are also amongst the substitutes, with Rebecka Blomqvist - a scorer late on against Italy - part of the front three.
Sweden: Falk, Lennartsson, Ilestedt, Eriksson, Sandberg, Bennison, Seger, Jakobsson, Janogy, Schough, Blomqvist.
Subs: Enblom, Musovic, Andersson, Angeldal, Asllani, Bjorn, Blackstenius, Hurtig, Kaneryd, Rolfo, Rubensson, Sembrant.
