:00:40. > :00:41.Good morning, and welcome to Match of the Day Kickabout
:00:42. > :00:52.Looks amazing out there. The group stages are over,
:00:53. > :00:55.it is knockout football, lose and you are out.
:00:56. > :00:57.Also with us today is Leah, who's out there somewhere,
:00:58. > :01:04.Thanks, Dan, I'm back on Copacabana beach for one last time.
:01:05. > :01:07.Just like the England team, it is time for me to head back home.
:01:08. > :01:12.I have had an unbelievable three weeks.
:01:13. > :01:15.Things are really hotting up, here in Brazil, ahead of the knockout
:01:16. > :01:19.rounds, starting with his ill versus Chile tonight in Belo Horizonte.
:01:20. > :01:23.This is where the World Cup really kicks off, and here is what else
:01:24. > :01:31.We have the next stage of the World Cup covered with our special
:01:32. > :01:35.I will be taking you on a tour of the building that brings
:01:36. > :01:47.The FT freestylers Billy and Jeremy are here with alternative penalties
:01:48. > :01:50.and Phil Neville is with Dan to talk about the highs, lows
:01:51. > :01:55.Thanks, Leah, so plenty to look forward to
:01:56. > :01:58.despite England having left Brazil earlier than they may have hoped.
:01:59. > :02:01.Before flying home there was one more match against Costa Rica
:02:02. > :02:10.Roy's boys have a few new faces in there, and this is how they got on.
:02:11. > :02:13.Welcome to Belo Horizonte, glorious sunshine for England's
:02:14. > :02:16.not so glorious farewell to World Cup 2014.
:02:17. > :02:17.Forster got across quite brilliantly.
:02:18. > :02:25.He's onto the return, but it is cleared.
:02:26. > :02:31.They were going home anyway, but they are going home without
:02:32. > :02:41.We are joined by former England international and BBC sport pundit,
:02:42. > :02:49.Philip, you watched England play Costa Rica on Tuesday.
:02:50. > :02:55.But what it does, it gives some of the England players a chance to
:02:56. > :02:58.play in a World Cup. Luke Shaw, Ross Barkley and Adam Lallana.
:02:59. > :03:01.Roy would have been pleased with some of the performances
:03:02. > :03:05.Overall, though, what do you think is the main reason why England
:03:06. > :03:07.haven't qualified into the knockout stages of this World Cup?
:03:08. > :03:14.We have fallen short in fine margins and a defensive mistake against
:03:15. > :03:17.Uruguay has cost us and in terms of goal-scoring we have created enough
:03:18. > :03:20.chances, we just have not had the goal-scorer to put that chance away
:03:21. > :03:23.that would put us into the next round. And Roy Hodgson
:03:24. > :03:27.is the man to lead this England team, in your eyes?
:03:28. > :03:30.100%. He has impressed me with a philosophy that he is setting out.
:03:31. > :03:34.And I think, in two years time, you will see this in with team
:03:35. > :03:42.This is the point where the World Cup gets really exciting.
:03:43. > :03:44.Over the next few days 16 teams will play
:03:45. > :03:55.It is tense, it is dramatic, it is knockout football.
:03:56. > :04:05.The race is on to become champions of the world.
:04:06. > :04:09.32 teams, over 100 goals scored, now, 16 contenders remain.
:04:10. > :04:15.But world cups are not remembered on the group stages.
:04:16. > :04:20.It is all about what happens from now on.
:04:21. > :04:23.COMMENTATOR: And we might be set for another World Cup turn-up.
:04:24. > :04:30.To win, you need skill and you need courage.
:04:31. > :04:32.This year, the heavyweight contenders are Brazil.
:04:33. > :04:39.He cut inside and scores, Neymar again.
:04:40. > :04:44.It has been 24 years since they have reached the final.
:04:45. > :04:55.They are in form and they have already beaten the champions.
:04:56. > :05:04.And Germany have come close, but can they finish the job?
:05:05. > :05:08.Klose flicked onward, and it is in, Germany are level.
:05:09. > :05:16.Knockout football, you cannot beat it.
:05:17. > :05:18.The first second-round match is at five o'clock tonight.
:05:19. > :05:22.Brazil take on Chile, which is live on the BBC for you.
:05:23. > :05:25.From now on, if the matches end in a draw, there is extra time
:05:26. > :05:31.This is when even the best players can crumble under pressure.
:05:32. > :05:47.Perhaps they can learn a thing or two from these two.
:05:48. > :05:55.Now the group stages are over, there was a good chance that some
:05:56. > :05:58.of the world 's best players will have to decide their fate
:05:59. > :06:01.But don't panic, don't worry, we have got this covered.
:06:02. > :06:03.This is BFT alternative penalty guide.
:06:04. > :06:06.There is a wide range of penalty styles.
:06:07. > :06:21.Converting a penalty takes nerves of steel, and
:06:22. > :06:24.when the pressure is on, the goals seem to get smaller, especially with
:06:25. > :06:33.thousands of fans behind the goal and millions watching at home.
:06:34. > :06:36.How are you going to fool the goalie? Let's kick things off.
:06:37. > :06:38.We are talking top corner placement were no goalkeeper
:06:39. > :06:43.All right. So he saved it.
:06:44. > :06:50.You need to be confident in your ability, ice cool in your approach.
:06:51. > :06:52.Let's see how he deals with this one.
:06:53. > :06:58.When it comes to it, half of it is how you approach the ball.
:06:59. > :07:00.Make sure thatyour starting position is side on
:07:01. > :07:03.and give yourself a few steps of a run-up, taking a few steps
:07:04. > :07:06.before you strike the ball will help you to pick up momentum, which is
:07:07. > :07:09.Place your standing foot beside the ball
:07:10. > :07:27.and bring your kicking foot around the outside of the standing foot.
:07:28. > :07:30.Swivel your hips and strike the ball with your laces.
:07:31. > :07:35.Giving the keeper of the eyes is another technique.
:07:36. > :07:39.It is not easy keeping your eyes on the keeper one you strike the ball.
:07:40. > :07:42.But we are not going to give them the eyes at all.
:07:43. > :07:44.Approach the ball as you normally would.
:07:45. > :07:46.Place your standing foot beside the ball, bring
:07:47. > :07:49.your leg back and as you follow through, this is the moment that you
:07:50. > :07:53.Make contact with the ball, look around and pose
:07:54. > :08:02.for the camera, as the ball flies into the back of the net.
:08:03. > :08:05.Phil, it takes a little bit of class to try that
:08:06. > :08:11.I do not want to take a penalty, never mind even try something
:08:12. > :08:14.Is there any World Cup penalty that you particularly remember?
:08:15. > :08:22.The one that I remember is Andreas Brehme, in the 1990 World Cup.
:08:23. > :08:25.With his right. Previously in the tournament he had taken one was
:08:26. > :08:28.left foot, and although he was left at the time he was right footed.
:08:29. > :08:32.That was my goal from my life to take a penalty in such
:08:33. > :08:38.When he was running up, I was thinking, he's left footed, and he
:08:39. > :08:44.Two-footed players, I used to love them, growing up.
:08:45. > :08:46.That is the importance of everyone watching at home.
:08:47. > :08:48.Practice with both your left and right foot.
:08:49. > :08:52.I would go out outside and practice with my left foot,
:08:53. > :08:56.We know what the knockout stages are all about.
:08:57. > :08:59.Let's find out who will be playing in those stages.
:09:00. > :09:13.Here is our first round up starting with Group A and Group B.
:09:14. > :09:22.It was all still possible for them to get knocked out.
:09:23. > :09:25.It did not take too long for the golden boy, Neymar,
:09:26. > :09:28.to give them the lead, scoring with 100 goal of the World
:09:29. > :09:30.Cup in Brazil's 100th World Cup game.
:09:31. > :09:33.Cameroon equalised but Neymar struck again, to restore the lead.
:09:34. > :09:42.He cuts inside and scores, Neymar again.
:09:43. > :09:44.Second-half goals from Fred and Fernandinho gave the
:09:45. > :09:51.Meanwhile, in Recife, Croatia to Mexico to decide who would
:09:52. > :10:01.The match sprung to life in the final 20 minutes as Mexico
:10:02. > :10:03.captain Rafael Marquez struck to give them the lead.
:10:04. > :10:09.Guardado and Hernandez put the game to bed.
:10:10. > :10:17.Croatia got a late consolation goal but it was too little, too late.
:10:18. > :10:25.Brazil topped the group, beating Mexico on goal difference.
:10:26. > :10:28.Croatia finished third and Cameroon are rock bottom without taking
:10:29. > :10:32.In Group B, it was that man, Arjen Robben, yup mastermind Holman's
:10:33. > :10:36.progression as they took on chilly in the final game of the group.
:10:37. > :10:39.It took until the 77th minute for the deadlock to be broken.
:10:40. > :10:44.Substitute Leroy Fer heading in with his first touch of the game.
:10:45. > :10:46.The result was secured in added time as a youngster converted
:10:47. > :10:50.This means that Holland have have not lost
:10:51. > :10:58.In the remaining games, Spain and Australia where playing
:10:59. > :11:00.for pride, with the countries knowing that they were
:11:01. > :11:09.Goals from David Villa, Fernando Torres and Juan Mata
:11:10. > :11:12.restored some pride for Spain, but it was all in vain.
:11:13. > :11:14.Holland win the group, taking maximum points with
:11:15. > :11:29.This means that in the neck wrung, Brazil will be hosting Chile
:11:30. > :11:32.and Holland will be taking on Mexico tomorrow for a place
:11:33. > :11:38.BBC Radio Five Live commentator Conor McNamara is sending us
:11:39. > :11:42.We have seen them already, that incredible match between Spain
:11:43. > :11:48.He has spoken to Danny Mills about eating chicken hearts.
:11:49. > :11:51.This week I have been doing a lot of flying around Brazil.
:11:52. > :11:58.If you find yourself working in a World Cup you have got a lot
:11:59. > :12:03.And you have got to make sure that you are sharp.
:12:04. > :12:06.I found a good way of waking myself up in the morning.
:12:07. > :12:17.It is not until you come to Brazil that you get the feeling
:12:18. > :12:22.You get on a plane for a long haul flight, and still be
:12:23. > :12:29.The distance between Rio de Janeiro and Manaus is actually greater than
:12:30. > :12:32.the distance between London and Moscow.
:12:33. > :12:40.When you are travelling around Brazil during all these games, it is
:12:41. > :12:51.very important that you keep on top of your research and preparation.
:12:52. > :12:54.Often you will find yourself turning the most unusual places
:12:55. > :12:56.into your own private office to do some research.
:12:57. > :12:59.I wanted to give you a look at the notes I use during a commentary.
:13:00. > :13:04.This is a system I have had over the years.
:13:05. > :13:07.I used a hand write out these stickers and over the years I have
:13:08. > :13:09.started printing them up on computers and putting pictures of
:13:10. > :13:16.It takes ten hours to research any one game and soon
:13:17. > :13:19.as that game is finished, those nose are in the bin and you start making
:13:20. > :13:24.I look forward to talking to you next week on Match of the Day
:13:25. > :13:29.Group C, runaway leaders Colombia wrapped up maximum points in style.
:13:30. > :13:36.Japan could still qualify by beating the South Americans.
:13:37. > :13:39.Cuadrado converted a penalty to give Colombia the lead,
:13:40. > :13:49.Martinez then struck twice before the impressive Rodriguez
:13:50. > :14:02.Colombia had four shots on target all game and scored them all.
:14:03. > :14:10.It was more tense affair between Greece and Ivory Coast,
:14:11. > :14:13.with both teams still able to make it to the next round.
:14:14. > :14:15.Greece went in front thanks to Samarys,
:14:16. > :14:21.but the Ivory Coast hit back through Swansea striker Wilfried Bony.
:14:22. > :14:24.It is Wilfried Bony, it is 1-1, and Ivory Coast are right back
:14:25. > :14:32.Then drama as the match entered stoppage time with Greece winning a
:14:33. > :14:35.late penalty and Georgia summer as, was the coolest person in result.
:14:36. > :14:38.Colombia finished first with Greece in second.
:14:39. > :14:43.Ivory Coast came close but can only finish above bottom placed Japan.
:14:44. > :14:46.In Group D, all eyes were on Italy and Uruguay to see you would be
:14:47. > :14:51.The deadlock was broken when Diego Godin headed in an 80th minute
:14:52. > :14:58.But they had to do it without star striker Luis Suarez who now faces
:14:59. > :15:07.Costa Rica top Group B with Uruguay also qualifying.
:15:08. > :15:10.In the next round Colombia face Uruguay this evening
:15:11. > :15:29.whilst Costa Rica will play Greece tomorrow. When
:15:30. > :15:35.we are watching the football at home, sometimes it is easy to forget
:15:36. > :15:43.about all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, especially like a
:15:44. > :15:51.huge turbulent! I am at the International Broadcast Centre. This
:15:52. > :15:55.is at the heart of the whole turn a month. The BBC are just one of 161
:15:56. > :15:58.different broadcasters here. If this place did not run seamlessly, we
:15:59. > :16:06.would not see all the action back home. Let's take a quick look
:16:07. > :16:09.around! This is the master control room and the guys behind me can see
:16:10. > :16:17.every camera across every city in Brazil. That is a lot to take in!
:16:18. > :16:24.The people working here don't get to enjoy Copacabana Beach, but they do
:16:25. > :16:31.have this! All of this will be taken down eventually. So, if you ever
:16:32. > :16:39.wondered how many cameras there were at the match, there are actually 34.
:16:40. > :16:44.This is the main camera, number one. It gives you a nice wide view of the
:16:45. > :16:52.beach. The cable camera is amazing. It follows the ball, anticipating
:16:53. > :16:56.passes. You might have noticed these cranes on the pitch when you have
:16:57. > :17:01.been watching a game. The person operating does cranes are scanning
:17:02. > :17:06.the match the whole time and if they think there is going to be a goal,
:17:07. > :17:12.they sweep right down so you can get that perfect view. I favoured camera
:17:13. > :17:19.so far has to be the beauty camera. What it does is it slows down a
:17:20. > :17:23.tackle or a header. It makes the whole World Cup so intense. You get
:17:24. > :17:31.a flavour of what this big tournament is all about.
:17:32. > :17:36.Still to come, we are rounding up the rest of the groups. We have the
:17:37. > :17:41.top haircuts of the journeyman, but, first, there has been some amazing
:17:42. > :17:46.goals and here is another one of your favourites.
:17:47. > :17:56.We are back with another favourite call from the World Cup. This time
:17:57. > :18:08.it is all about Arjen Robben. It was one of the best games of the group
:18:09. > :18:17.sisters, Holland beating Spain 5-1. Arjen Robben give out a Dutch
:18:18. > :18:23.masterclass. Sergio Ramos was the last man for Spain, but Arjen Robben
:18:24. > :18:32.ran straight past him, amazingly quick. With two Spanish defenders to
:18:33. > :18:46.beat, he smashes it into the net. What a goal!
:18:47. > :18:55.Argentina had already qualified doctor, Nigeria team who had it all
:18:56. > :19:01.to play for. It turned into a battle between these two, with each player
:19:02. > :19:10.scoring twice in a five goal thriller. Lionel Messi scored first,
:19:11. > :19:14.but it was cancelled out straightaway. Just before half-time
:19:15. > :19:18.Lionel Messi had the chance to become joint top scorer, and he did
:19:19. > :19:27.this. Extraordinary! Minutes into the
:19:28. > :19:34.second half, Nigeria scored again, and the super Eagles were level once
:19:35. > :19:39.more. Their joy was short lived, as Argentina soon one at. Iran still
:19:40. > :19:47.had a chance of going through as they faced bottom of the group
:19:48. > :19:58.Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two goals from Bosnia meant they had an update
:19:59. > :20:01.-- an uphill struggle. The Europeans wrapped up the points. Argentina win
:20:02. > :20:10.the group with maximum points, followed by Nigeria.
:20:11. > :20:26.France played Ecuador. France struggled to break the deadlock.
:20:27. > :20:37.Elsewhere, Switzerland beat Honduras 3-0. This secured their passage into
:20:38. > :20:42.the last 16. So, France won the group, followed by Switzerland.
:20:43. > :20:59.Throughout the World Cup, John Farnworth has been swapping Brazil
:21:00. > :21:01.with black pool -- a Blackpool to bring you some special World Cup
:21:02. > :21:15.trick. -- bricks. Unfortunately, I could not get to
:21:16. > :21:20.Brazil but it does not mean I cannot get involved in the World Cup
:21:21. > :21:21.action. I am John Farnworth, and this is Match of the Day Kicking The
:21:22. > :21:37.Bin. This week's trick is called the
:21:38. > :21:45.rainbow. A key player -- players have done this, but the master has
:21:46. > :21:50.to be LA. Do this trick when you are running quickly, and you will take
:21:51. > :21:54.the defenders by surprise. To do this movie will run up to the ball
:21:55. > :21:57.in the straight line. Once she approached the body pictured
:21:58. > :22:02.non-next to the ball, mated with your other that then flickered over
:22:03. > :22:06.your head. The power is generated from your back foot. The more power
:22:07. > :22:12.you can get over your head, the better. It takes a bit of black
:22:13. > :22:13.this, but once you got it, you will be doing it like a true Brazilian
:22:14. > :22:33.master. Amazing skills, John. He will be
:22:34. > :22:38.back with another Kicking The Bin Brazil style next week. Now, more
:22:39. > :22:42.World Cup news. Since Holland cruised through to the next round
:22:43. > :22:51.they have been taking it easy in training. The Dutch were letting
:22:52. > :22:56.their kids have a kickabout. Holland are playing Mexico in their
:22:57. > :23:01.second-round match and here is the Mexican manager celebrating their
:23:02. > :23:06.midweek win over creation. Do you think he is excited? One guy he is
:23:07. > :23:13.not celebrating is enchanted Dell Bosque. He will do anything to get
:23:14. > :23:19.to the next round. That is the Chile bus! If you are supporting a team
:23:20. > :23:21.that is still in the World Cup, let us know. You could be on the show
:23:22. > :23:37.next week. E-mail us! You laughed at home have been busy
:23:38. > :23:43.on our website, love and some of the crazy hairstyles in the World Cup.
:23:44. > :23:47.In the meantime, here is a collection of our favourite so far.
:23:48. > :23:54.It is another chance as well to see Brazilian hairdresser Mauro
:23:55. > :23:55.Shampoo. MUSIC: Get A Haircut And Get A Real
:23:56. > :24:44.Job. Some real beauties in there. Any
:24:45. > :24:50.particular favourites? Asamoah Gyan. As commentator, he has a number on
:24:51. > :24:55.his head. I am a big fan of Marouane Fellaini's air. You have played with
:24:56. > :25:01.him. When you have a haircut like that, does it make it harder for the
:25:02. > :25:06.defenders to get near you? It makes him so big! We were on an aeroplane
:25:07. > :25:10.to America and he was sitting in the seat in front. With pitiful packet
:25:11. > :25:17.of dry roasted peanuts in his hair and he didn't have a clue! That is
:25:18. > :25:24.what football is get up to in their spare time! Here is our final group
:25:25. > :25:26.stage round-up. In Group G, there was the chance
:25:27. > :25:30.that everything could qualify as they kick off their last games.
:25:31. > :25:36.Germany made sure they won their group after this Thomas Muller
:25:37. > :25:44.strike was the difference in 1-0 win the USA. He joins the top scorers on
:25:45. > :25:47.four goals. Cristiano Ronaldo is one player who would be winning the
:25:48. > :25:53.Golden boots as his Portugal team are heading home. In their game
:25:54. > :25:59.against Jana, and uncle put them in the lead before Asamoah Gyan level.
:26:00. > :26:12.He becomes the lead old score in World Cup history. Portugal one late
:26:13. > :26:18.on. Germany win the group with seven points and the USA also go through
:26:19. > :26:22.with four points. In the final group, it was Belgian who took
:26:23. > :26:31.maximum points after beating South Korea 1-0. The last game of the
:26:32. > :26:42.group stages saw a cheery take on Russia. Russia took the lead after
:26:43. > :26:48.just six minutes. Algeria scored a controversial equaliser after
:26:49. > :26:54.Russian goalkeeper had a laser is shone in his face from the crowd.
:26:55. > :26:59.The game ended 1-1. That means Russia have gone out of the World
:27:00. > :27:10.Cup in the group stages in their last three World Cups.
