    Ibrahim Toure, 28, who had been battling cancer, died on Thursday and it was thought the brothers would leave to be with their family.

    "The Toure brothers have decided to stay with the team. They are not leaving Brazil," the Ivorian Football Federation representative said.

    Ivory Coast play Greece in their final Group C game on Tuesday knowing a win will earn them a place in the last 16.

    Lionel Messi is back in action today and has a chance to add to his tally when his Argentina side take on Iran. The Barcelona forward has one goal to his name - can he catch the five players on three goals?

    • 3 - Karim Benzema (France), Thomas Muller (Germany), Arjen Robben (Netherlands), Enner Valencia (Ecuador), Robin van Persie (Netherlands)

    • 2 - Tim Cahill (Australia), Gervinho (Ivory Coast), Mario Mandzukic (Croatia), Neymar (Brazil), James Rodriguez (Colombia), Luis Suarez (Uruguay)

    No-one can accuse Ghana of not taking their match seriously against Germany tonight. Earlier today (10:53) we had Andre Ayew saying his team will 'die for Ghana' and now we have this from Kevin-Prince Boateng.

    He said: "The team who wants it more will win and we will fight to the death against Germany. It's like in ancient Rome. There will be people around the pitch who want to see how two teams fight," said the Schalke 04 player.

    The game sees half-brothers Jerome (Germany) and Kevin-Prince (Ghana) compete against each other. Both men have the same father but different mothers.

    It may well be a bit feisty in Fortaleza. There is live coverage on BBC One from 19:30 BST to catch all the carnage.

    Belgium coach Marc Wilmots says he will not play injured captain Vincent Kompany against Russia on Sunday if the Manchester City man is not 100% fit.

    Kompany has been undergoing treatment on a groin strain he suffered late in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Algeria, and Wilmots said he "will take no risk whatsoever" with the defender, adding: "If there is a problem with Vincent on Sunday there is always another solution."

  19. 'England were unlucky'published at 13:49 British Summer Time 21 June 2014

    Fifa president Sepp Blatter believes England were "unlucky" to lose to Uruguay.

    Blatter said: "I watched the match on television and I think England were unlucky. England looked like a good team."

    Asked if Suarez made the difference, Blatter added: "Maybe - but I think Uruguay had a very good goalkeeper and he made some good saves. This is football - these things can happen."
