But everyone is watching when the best player in the world takes to the stage, Lionel Messi lining up for Argentina against Bosnia-Herzegovina, who are appearing in the World Cup for the first time. Then comes confirmation that Cameroon aren’t up to much. It was the second time that Brazil staged the competition, the first being in 1950, and the fifth time that it was held in South America. England have their chances in a pulsating first half – but fall behind to Claudio Marchisio’s strike from 20 yards. David Luiz and Fernandinho, by turn rash and ponderous, are the chief architects of the Seleção’s downfall, though it’s poor lumbering old Fred who takes the brunt of the crowd’s ire.
Nani scores early for Portugal but the USA fight back and are on the verge of qualification for the second round until Cristiano Ronaldo, despite being unfit, delivers a sumptuous cross for Silvestre Varela to make it 2-2 in stoppage time.
