All eyes were on Dani Olmo’s goal-bound effort which was tipped on to the bar by Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Got any interesting stats or facts?

Costa Rica didn’t do much against Japan, but what they did do 


And if I need a laugh, what happened that’ll tickle me?

There was something ‘a bit DIY’ about Canada’s attempts to stop Atiba Hutchinson’s nose from bleeding in the 4-1 defeat to Croatia.

So, I’m free today, what can I not afford to miss?

There’s a tasty clash in Group H with Portugal looking to book their place in the last-16 when they take on Uruguay while Brazil take to the pitch again with a banana skin to overcome in Switzerland.

If they are to get their World Cup campaign up and running then Liverpool’s Darwin NĂčñez might have something to do with it.

The 23-year-old has eight goals and two assists so far this season.
