2B – Daily News – Tuesday, June 15, 2010 Paraguay holds Italy to 1-1 draw Italy 1, Paraguay 1 Japan 1, Cameroon 0 Netherlands 2, CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Italy fell behind, then lost its star goalkeeper for the second half. So a 1- 1 World Cup draw with Paraguay should not have been all that disturbing for the defending champions. Yet the Azzurri’s underwhelming, rain-soaked draw hardly was pleasing to coach Marcello Lippi, the same man who guided the Italians to their fourth championship in 2006. ‘‘We need to do more and do it bet- ter. Our opponent didn’t do anything, they just kept things in check,’’ Lippi said. The South Americans did enough for a tie. Defender Antolin Alcaraz scored on a header in the 39th minute of the Group F match. Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi equalized from close range in the 63rd after a miscue by goalkeeper Justo Vil- lar. BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa (AP) — Japan can so win a World Cup game outside its borders. Coming off four straight exhibition losses in the buildup to the tournament, the Japanese earned their first World Cup victory on foreign soil Monday when Keisuke Honda scored in the first half for a 1-0 victory over uninspired Cameroon in Group E of the World Cup. After a sloppy first 30 minutes, Japan broke the tie in the 39th when Daisuke Matsui’s curling cross from the right drifted over the heads of Cameroon defenders Nicolas Nkoulou and Stephane Mbia. The ball fell to Honda at the back post and the striker neatly controlled it and sent it past goalkeeper Hamidou Souleymanou. Despite an attack led by Samuel Eto’o, Cameroon never really chal- lenged Japan keeper Eiji Kawashima. Denmark 0 JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The Netherlands surged into the World Cup with one of the globe’s fiercest attacks. It took some luck to get that offense on track. The Dutch got an own goal in the 46th minute and beat Denmark 2-0 on Monday at Soccer City, failing to break through on their own until the 85th, when Dirk Kuyt tapped in a rebound off the post from close range. Well, whatever works. The Netherlands took the lead when Denmark defender Simon Poulsen headed a ball off the back of teammate Daniel Agger and into the net. Poulsen had been trying to clear a cross from Robin van Persie. Kuyt scored the second goal after substitute Eljero Elia bounced a shot off the post.

Big 12 (Continued from Page 1B) Done. ‘‘University of Texas president Bill Powers has informed us that the 10 remaining schools in the Big 12 Conference intend to stay together,’’ Pac-10 commis- sioner Larry Scott said in a statement. ‘‘We are excited about the future of the Pac- 10 Conference and we will continue to evaluate future expansion opportunities under the guidelines previ- ously set forth by our presi- dents and chancellors.’’ Powers declined com- ment when asked by the AP about details of the deal that kept Big 12 together. The conference, born in 1996 when the Big 8 merged with members of the Southwestern Conference, seemed to be falling apart last week when Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) decided to leave over the next two years. Now the Big 12 its back, though there are still ques- tions about how it will con- duct its business. Among those that still need to be answered by Beebe is how and why the Big 12 will be more lucra- tive now, especially when it cannot hold a conference title game with only 10 members. Last year, Big 12 schools divided between $7 million and $10 million each depending on how many appearances they made on regional and national TV. At Big 12 meetings earlier this month, Beebe said he expected huge increases in rights fees from both Fox and ESPN.
