Week Two Round Up

No sooner had the magical online ink dried on the first weekly round up of the World Cup Food Challenge than disaster had struck for one of the biggest teams of the tournament.  World and European football champions were sent crashing out of the world cup after their second defeat in two games, this time a 2:0 thrashing by Chile.

Alphabetically Australia were the first team to be knocked out but I doubt that is any consolation to Spanish football fans, or English fans as it wasn't long before England were sent packing from the greatest show on earth too. There is still one more meaningless match for England to play against Costa Rica, who against all the odds, have already guaranteed their progress into the knockout stage of the World Cup.

All of the football action aside the bloggers of the World Cup food Challenge have been busy in their kitchens.  Since the last update, food from Cameroon, Costa Rica, Cote D'Ivoire, Croatia, Ecuador, England, Mexico, Portugal and South Korea has been cooked for your pleasure.  From cuttle fish to goat and a bangers and mash pie, it's been a busy week.

By Thursday evening we'll know which teams are though to the next round, who they'll be playing against and most importantly, we'll be able to start planning what food to cook for the next part of the challenge.
