The group stage format sets up a lot of possible outcomes, and it frequently comes down to the third and final game to decide the teams going into the knockout round. Today was no exception, and it was South Korea who delivered the major shock, beating Portugal to pip Uruguay to the prize on total goals scored, the third tiebreaker. I'm always happy to see Luis Suarez miserable, as his superb attacking play was for naught in defeating Thomas Partey's Ghana. The second set of games had a lot of Arsenal interest, and Xhaka's Switzerland put a feisty Serbia to the sword 3-2 in a match that featured eleven yellow cards and a lot of fouling and shithousery. Cameroon's win over a much-changed Brazil meant nothing in the standings. Our Gabriels, Martinelli and Jesus, played for Brazil; Jesus got injured (knee) and Martinelli looked really good.
