THE DAY REPLAYED – It was a mixed day for royalty in Brazil. The FIFA World Cup™ kings had their reign stunningly ended. A beloved Sydneysider arguably made sure of being crowned his country’s all-time greatest with a memorable masterstroke. And King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were so exhilarated by seeing the country they rule take a second step towards the throne Spain relinquished that they posed for ‘selfies’ with Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie and Co in the dressing room.
Matchday 7 began in Porto Alegre. It ended around 2,000 miles away in Manaus (yes, Brazil is big). In between, the Netherlands and Chile booked places in the Round of 16 with a game to spare, Australia, Spain and Cameroon were eliminated, and Croatia won handsomely to leave themselves in a three-way fight with Brazil and Mexico for two tickets to the knockout phase.
