MATCH PREVIEW
The shadow cast by one of the most controversial episodes in football history provides the backdrop to Tuesday's meeting between Mexico and Uruguay.
A draw at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Tuesday would be enough to send both countries through to the last 16, leading some to wonder whether the two Latin American countries will contrive the necessary result. That was what happened in Spain in 1982 when West Germany and Austria knew a 1-0 win for Germany in their final group game would see both sides advance and eliminate Algeria. Horst Hrubesch gave the Germans an early lead and the two sides played out the rest of the 'contest' at walking pace.
Fifa have dismissed fears that Mexico and Uruguay may conspire to draw, and there is every reason to believe Mexico will go for the win - three points would see them finish top of the group and avoid likely Group B winners Argentina in the next round.
Both sides could even progress with a defeat, depending on the result between France and South Africa in Tuesday's other group A match.
