    I've just seen that Spain are below Australia in the Group B table. Extraordinary.

  3. The Goalden Bootpublished at 01:06 British Summer Time 19 June 2014

    Golden Boot

    Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie are all leading the way on three goals apiece after the first six days of the tournament. Who will take the golden boot?

    I've just seen two players swap shorts in the tunnel!

    That is a new one on me.

    Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay: "Croatia were unlucky against Brazil but were excellent again tonight. With Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric in midfield keeping the game going, and Ivica Olic and Ivan Perisic out wide going forward, I think they have a good balance.

    "Not all is happy in the Cameroon camp, you'd think there might be a few who might not want to sit next to each other on the plane.

    "I look at the discipline of that team and the disrespect for the coach, there's a lot of players who really need to look at themselves and ask just what their contribution to their national side is."

    JT:, external So much talk of Croatia going far but people seem to forget they need three points against a solid Mexico side first.

    Babatope Soremi:, external Two Cameroon players want to fight each other on the pitch too. It seems one red card isn't enough.

    Ayoade Oluwasanmi:, external So not content with Song hammering Mandzukic, the Cameroonian players now want to beat each other.

    Benoit Assou-Ekotto is still in a blind rage. Samuel Eto'o is having to hold him back in the tunnel to prevent him chasing after a team-mate. That could go on and on.

    Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay: "That's madness from Benoit Assou-Ekotto there, he's tried to head butt his team-mate. That is an absolute disgrace. They had to be pulled apart. And again this is another sign of the team spirit within this side.

    "The Prince, Samuel Eto'o, this will be his last World Cup and probably he will be taking over the team himself at some point. He seems a very powerful figure. Between him and Roger Milla coming out and criticising the team, it's a bit of a poisoned chalice for Volker Finke.

    "You need harmony within a group, until the egos are set aside a team will go nowhere - you saw that with France in 2010."

    Cameroon are out of the World Cup.

    Benoit Assou-Ekotto should have been sent-off in fact for that, he butted heads with his team-mate. Shades of Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer!

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 00:48 British Summer Time 19 June 2014

    Great header! Cameroon go close to a consolation as Cameroon sub Pierre Webo meets a left-wing cross with a bullet header, he heads it down, like David Platt v Cameroon all those years ago, it bounces up and hits the crossbar!

    Team-mates Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Ben Moukandjo then square up to each other in the aftermath. Not sure what that was all about...

  13. CLOSE!published at 00:46 British Summer Time 19 June 2014

    Almost five! Another killer breakaway from Croatia sees Ante Rebic pull it across for the arriving Ivan Rakitic, he chips it over the head of Charles Itandje - but it goes just wide.

    Adam Gordon:, external I really hope at least one of the African teams progress to the next round. Ivory Coast seem the best bet, though Algeria might do it.

    Austin Brock:, external This is kind of tasty now. If Croatia and Mexico draw and Brazil lose, Brazil would go out. And Brazil have been poor.

    Into the last five minutes of the most one-sided game of the tournament so far.

    Cameroon do almost snatch one at the end with Malky Mackay's man Ben Moukandjo curling wide.

  16. Postpublished at 00:40 British Summer Time 19 June 2014

    This is it for Eduardo! He's in on goal - but cuts inside and his shot is blocked. A pre-Martin Taylor Eduardo would have buried that.

    Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay: "Benjamin Moukandjo has been the one player who has impressed me from Cameroon. He has always looked to attack Croatia with his pace and running ability and I feel sorry for him because he has done really well.

    "I know Mario Mandzukic has got two goals for Croatia but Ivan Perisic has been most the influential for me tonight."

    Charles Itandje charges out of his area to head away a long ball forwards as we enter the last 10 minutes. Any more for any more? Or are Croatia declaring on four?

    John Bennett, BBC World Service in Brazil:

    "I was in Cameroon when the team qualified for the World Cup. There was so much joy and hope, that after missing out of qualifying for two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, they had finally turned the corner.

    "I can only imagine how the fans are feeling now watching this humiliating performance.

    "It won't be the defeat that hurts the most, it'll be the way the team has played. Too defensive, too cautious, too afraid. The antithesis of what made Cameroon perhaps Africa's most famous football nation."

    James Butler:, external It's amazing how much better Croatia look with Mandzukic as a focal point going forwards. He's always "there".

    Conchur Moore:, external The Cameroon keeper is a bit wobbly, keeps falling over his feet. Croatia look like a good shout for the quarters at least.

    Alex South:, external Croatia are a different proposition with Mandzukic in the side. I'm surprised Bayern want to sell.
