Stickers: World Cup Day 7

     Today's sticker based predictions are Australia 0 Netherlands 2, Spain 3 Chile 2 and Cameroon 0 Croatia 1.
     Memphis Depay scores the winner for the Netherlands in their 3-2 win having come on as a substitute.  The other Dutch sticker is that of Kevin Strootman who failed to make the squad because of injury.
     Spain's fall from grace or return to their old 'flattering to deceive' ways continues as they lose 2-0 to Chile. Think their problem has been that on the days they've played I've got their defenders; Gerard Pique presumably was blamed for the defeat to the Dutch and was dropped; Sergio Ramos and Jordi Alba were again lacklustre.  Chile's Jose Rojas fails to get on and David Pizarro was in the provisional squad but did not make the final squad.
      Croatia's win over the Cameroons is more emphatic than the prediction; by four goals rather than a single one.  Although, joy of joys, lone sticker Mario Mandzukic scores twice.
