I think I may regret trying to bet on scores predicted by stickers obtained on the day as today I had a bout of 'a Mexican in every pack'. I have been unable to obtain odds on a result of Croatia 2 Mexico 10. Thankfully the other predictions are more sensible, erm, Brazil 3 Cameroon 3, Australia 3 Spain 0 and Netherlands 1 Chile 3.
So I got 3-0 Australia v Spain right. OK, so it was 3-0 to Spain, but frankly who's counting ? Mark Bresciano plays the last 18 minutes, Dario Vidosic fails to get on and Rhys Williams failed to make the squad due to injury.
Memphis Depay comes off the bench to score the Netherlands second goal in a 2-0 win. (Adrian) Chile's Eugenio Mena, Mauricio Isla Bonita (young girls with eyes like potatoes) and Marcelo Diaz all play.
Brazil beat Cameroon 4-1 with ITV pundit Ian Wright complaining that Cameroon's players are too comfortable and only concerned with getting paid. Thiago Silva starts for Brazil, Ramires comes on after being dropped from the previous game and Dante experiences the circles of hell on the bench. Eyong Enoh gets booked for the Cameroon, Eric Choupo-Moting gets substituted and Benoit Assou Ekoto fails to make an appearance.
So, did Croatia v Mexico finish 2-10 ? Of course it didn't. 'Twas 3-1 to the homeland of Speedy
