:00:58. > :01:03.Good morning, welcome to highlights from the 10th day of the 2014 World
:01:04. > :01:08.Cup. Three matches this morning, including maybe a bit of Klose magic
:01:09. > :01:12.when you watch Argentina against Iran's. Let's start with Germany, so
:01:13. > :01:15.impressive in the opening game against Portugal, taking on Garner,
:01:16. > :01:19.who were beaten in the opener by the USA. Your commentators are Danny
:01:20. > :01:29.Murphy and Guy Mowbray. This will be warm work for the
:01:30. > :01:37.players of Germany and Ghana, which is designed to be cool outside, but
:01:38. > :01:39.teams found very tough in the confederations cup last year in
:01:40. > :01:42.similar conditions. Germany are unchanged from their win over
:01:43. > :01:47.Portugal which means Matt Hummels has been passed fit from a thigh
:01:48. > :01:52.injury. His defensive partner, Per Mertesacker, becomes the 13th player
:01:53. > :01:54.to reach 100 appearances for Germany. Hat-trick hero Thomas
:01:55. > :02:00.Muller begins his second half-century of games. Changes were
:02:01. > :02:15.expected to the team for Ghana, and there are three. Dauda's physicality
:02:16. > :02:19.has earned him the starting place. There is a place for Kevin Prince
:02:20. > :02:29.Boateng, set to go head-to-head with his half brother, Jerome. Nothing to
:02:30. > :02:32.be decided sure in this group today. Although Germany could put
:02:33. > :02:35.themselves within a whisker of qualification. A defeat for Ghana
:02:36. > :02:43.would almost certainly see them eliminated. Montanari -- something
:02:44. > :03:02.for Atsu to chase. Kevin Prince Boateng is in the middle. So is Tien
:03:03. > :03:15.-- Diane -- Diane will stop -- Gyan. Atsu was properly their best player
:03:16. > :03:20.against the US, and good there. Ghana don't lack confidence. It is
:03:21. > :03:35.the danger man again, that sweet left foot. Ghana are going down that
:03:36. > :03:42.side again. Atsu finds Rabbi -- Rubio, who doesn't make those runs
:03:43. > :03:47.lightly. Good strike. We have seen him score that sort of goal before.
:03:48. > :03:55.A bit too close to Manuel Moya. You certainly can hear them. -- he
:03:56. > :04:02.certainly can hear them, and the better chances are going to Ghana.
:04:03. > :04:06.-- hit them. Ghana have done OK. Reasonably impressed with them, they
:04:07. > :04:15.have caused some problems. Measured Ozil. Gotze. Decent volley, but
:04:16. > :04:28.straight down the keeper 's midriff. A clever position taken by Philip
:04:29. > :04:36.alarm. -- Ozil. Trying to find Thomas Muller. Looking for goat C.
:04:37. > :04:46.Found him all right -- goats. And goats finds the net. -- goats are --
:04:47. > :04:55.Dotzler. Mario got that is the beneficiary. Germany one, Ghana
:04:56. > :05:06.zero. Real quality. Perfect pass. Great run inside the full-back. Not
:05:07. > :05:11.sure it is the cleanest header. It has actually hit his knee after it's
:05:12. > :05:15.come off his face, but let's not take away from the past from Thomas
:05:16. > :05:21.Muller. Fantastic. Playing with a real confidence. -- the past will
:05:22. > :05:25.stop -- the Pasteur and Thomas Muller. -- the pass from Thomas
:05:26. > :05:42.Muller. It comes out to Atsu. Looking to
:05:43. > :05:54.play the fast ball into the feet of Gyan. Not a bad cross from Harrison,
:05:55. > :05:59.it is 1-1. It is Ayew, two in two games for him. Germany not in front
:06:00. > :06:02.of a very long at all. Probably the second brilliant ball we have seen
:06:03. > :06:08.in the match, and we have two goals. Wonderful cross from Harrison, and a
:06:09. > :06:19.great leap from Ayew. The full-backs of, -- the full-backs have come on.
:06:20. > :06:26.Gotze might not know what he was doing. But he got that just right,
:06:27. > :06:29.Ayew. And as against the US, he scored an equaliser. A largely
:06:30. > :06:39.sterile first but the style of the second half is different. Well
:06:40. > :06:43.anticipated. Asamoah Gyan. Super finish. We have got a turnaround,
:06:44. > :06:53.and we might be set for a mother World Cup turn up. -- another World
:06:54. > :07:00.Cup turn up. The young guns of Gotze -- -- of the young guns of Ghana
:07:01. > :07:07.have come back. Finished in fine style by Asamoah Gyan, with his
:07:08. > :07:12.fifth World Cup goal. Who played. -- a play.
:07:13. > :07:20.A goal-scorer like Gyan, he doesn't turn away opportunities like that.
:07:21. > :07:31.Really calm, composed finish. Now we will see what the Germans have got.
:07:32. > :07:38.Jordan Ayew. Jordan Ayew pokes his way past. Look at the pace. Gyan in
:07:39. > :07:44.the centre. Jordan Ayew tries to do it by himself, and Asamoah Gyan
:07:45. > :07:45.tried to do it himself. I think he got carried away because the run was
:07:46. > :08:02.so fantastic. Toni Kroos finds Shrine Steiger.
:08:03. > :08:06.Plenty of room for Ozil. Defended well, and Germany corner. Inches
:08:07. > :08:17.away from Toni Kroos. Better move from Germany -- Germany. It is in.
:08:18. > :08:21.Germany are level. Miroslav Klose runs away to celebrate a record
:08:22. > :08:33.equalling goal. 15 goals at the World Cup finals, he is joint top
:08:34. > :08:37.dog with Ronaldo. 2-2, Klose on the pitch, and that is his first touch
:08:38. > :08:44.of the ball. Instinctive. Typical striker's goal. A striker who was 36
:08:45. > :08:48.on the ninth of this month. All about positioning, knowing where to
:08:49. > :08:53.be. Not sure about the celebration. Good have done himself some damage.
:08:54. > :09:03.He used to make that with ease when he was 34. Scoring more goals that
:09:04. > :09:10.-- than Gerd Muller. How is that possible? Toni Kroos. Klose! Super
:09:11. > :09:21.save. Thomas Muller was running through. Absolutely brilliant
:09:22. > :09:24.defending by Asamoah. If Ghana got a draw, they have a point, and Germany
:09:25. > :09:31.would have four. Portugal not off the mark, USA with three. Maybe
:09:32. > :09:35.another twist to come with Klose! . You don't often see him fail to hit
:09:36. > :09:42.the target. Thought that was the moment. Just got over the ball a
:09:43. > :09:47.bit. I don't want this to end. I just thought exactly the same. Give
:09:48. > :10:00.us another few minutes, come on. Ozil. Free kick for chance. First
:10:01. > :10:05.yellow card of the match. I don't know why he is on the floor. He's
:10:06. > :10:09.only got himself to blame. He does it every game he plays. Stupid free
:10:10. > :10:15.kick C gives away. That could be telling in the last game. I've got
:10:16. > :10:24.no symmetry for him. Toni Kroos has had a word with Thomas Muller --
:10:25. > :10:27.I've got no sympathy for him. The header is blocked, the full-time
:10:28. > :10:31.whistle sounded, and we have witnessed a crashing -- cracking
:10:32. > :10:36.second half. We do have some drama at the end, because oh, dear, look
:10:37. > :10:44.at Thomas Muller's face. He has gone crashing into Boy. Brilliant
:10:45. > :10:48.header. Thomas Muller obviously desperate to get the winner. A
:10:49. > :10:56.superb second 45 minutes in particular. Germany have the
:10:57. > :10:59.advantage with four points, and Ghana are off the mark. It's
:11:00. > :11:04.therefore the US to take over in first place if they can beat
:11:05. > :11:17.Portugal tonight. That was some second-half. A wonderful second
:11:18. > :11:23.half, and Garner made a point. -- Ghana. They attacked with so much
:11:24. > :11:31.speed and ambition. At 1.I thought they had the Germans. But they
:11:32. > :11:34.bought on Klose, and they turned it around. Germany might be happy to
:11:35. > :11:39.get the point because Ghana had chances. Mertesacker and Hummels
:11:40. > :11:45.were exposed, especially when they were 2-1. They showed that they are
:11:46. > :11:48.vulnerable at the back, and that is something a lot of teams will be
:11:49. > :11:52.wondering about. You do think there are weaknesses in the German side,
:11:53. > :11:56.because up until this point may have been eulogised. If they are up in a
:11:57. > :12:01.game, they can control it and they don't commit to many forward, but
:12:02. > :12:04.when both full-backs have to go forward, Mertesacker in particular
:12:05. > :12:11.likes people around him, and tonight he was exposed, particularly by
:12:12. > :12:17.Asamoah Diame. Garner have to beat Portugal in their last game. --
:12:18. > :12:22.Ghana have to be Portugal. Can you see them doing that? I saw enough
:12:23. > :12:25.speed and adventure. They played with great spirit. I think it will
:12:26. > :12:29.come down to the USA against Germany. Juergen Klinsmann against
:12:30. > :12:36.Germany will be the big game in the group. The Ghanaians will be kicking
:12:37. > :12:42.themselves with the way they played against the US. Cheekily giving away
:12:43. > :12:46.a late goal, but the African teams are -- particularly giving away a
:12:47. > :12:50.late goal, but the African teams are starting to improve. What one of the
:12:51. > :12:53.other pretournament favourites, Argentina? They sneaked past Bosnia,
:12:54. > :13:12.so how would cope against Iran? Incomer sport the shame -- infamous
:13:13. > :13:17.for the shame of England so far, but Gonzalo Higuain came on in the
:13:18. > :13:25.opening of Argentina's win, and he starts. Iran make one change, show
:13:26. > :13:31.Jaidee comes in to provide more creativity.
:13:32. > :13:38.It is like downtown one sire is here. Blue and white shirts
:13:39. > :13:49.everywhere. -- downtown Wyness Iris -- Buenos Iris will
:13:50. > :13:55.Messi said he was unhappy with the opening formation. There have been
:13:56. > :13:59.reports that there was a bust up between him and the coach. The coach
:14:00. > :14:06.has denied it, but it's significant that he has started 4-3-3.
:14:07. > :14:22.Free kick here. Dejagah will take this for Iran. Should be easily
:14:23. > :14:27.dealt with. That was poor defending. Not the best of headers, and he beat
:14:28. > :14:39.the first man to easily. Two of them creeping in behind.
:14:40. > :14:51.Lovely ball into Gonzalo Higuain. Fine goalkeeping. Came out quickly
:14:52. > :15:00.to thwart the Napoli striker. Argentina dominating possession, as
:15:01. > :15:07.we expected, of course. Iran only had 30% possession against Nigeria.
:15:08. > :15:15.Here is de Maria. Higuain. Aguero. Up and over to make the save by
:15:16. > :15:21.Haghighi. Argentina getting into their stride. A good combination,
:15:22. > :15:29.and certainly going in. Diego Maradona Luxon. -- looks on. They
:15:30. > :15:40.have all 11 behind the ball again, Iran. Mascherano switching the play.
:15:41. > :15:48.De Maria. He drew the foul. Unnecessary given away by
:15:49. > :16:01.Ghoochanneijhad. Messi starting to focus. Messi with it. And the header
:16:02. > :16:06.over. Couldn't get over the ball, the six foot to centre-back.
:16:07. > :16:15.A free kick for I ran. They kept 11 clean sheets in 17 games in the
:16:16. > :16:19.whole campaign, including qualifying, but have rarely looked
:16:20. > :16:25.like scoring in the finals. Corner. Mascherano was there as well.
:16:26. > :16:32.Argentina have not been at ease with set piece situations and the ball
:16:33. > :16:44.swung up high. Dejagah will take the corner. Corner kick swung away. I
:16:45. > :16:47.think it had gone out of play first. It is clear Argentina will lead to
:16:48. > :17:03.do better in the second half. Mascherano. Good piece of skill.
:17:04. > :17:12.Played out wide. Can they get the crossing? So nearly from
:17:13. > :17:16.Ghoochanneijhad. One of the most remarkable goals of the World Cup.
:17:17. > :17:21.Every Iranian and every Brazilian in the ground, an error in their view,
:17:22. > :17:26.were willing that into the back the net. -- and there are a fair few.
:17:27. > :17:31.How many people around the world are roaring for the underdogs now? They
:17:32. > :17:35.have defended yet again, with great discipline, as they did through
:17:36. > :17:44.qualifying, now can they break out? Looking for Dejagah. Zabaleta is
:17:45. > :17:48.there. Was that a penalty? The referee is giving nothing Iran's
:17:49. > :17:53.away, and they are furious, and I think Zabaleta switched off and
:17:54. > :17:56.looked late on the challenge on Dejagah. Very lackadaisical. Did he
:17:57. > :17:59.sweep the ball away with his right foot? Yes, he just flicked the ball.
:18:00. > :18:10.How tight was that? Argentina on the attack. Messi with
:18:11. > :18:19.the run. That was typical. So typical of the man. Finally had room
:18:20. > :18:25.to run at Iran. " a solve his boot to bend the ball in. Argentina a
:18:26. > :18:31.neighbour -- unable to break the ball down. Dejagah with the attack.
:18:32. > :18:39.Splendid save and over. The Fulham man is denied. Terrific goalkeeping
:18:40. > :18:43.from Romero. Brilliant bowling. Zabaleta could not deal with --
:18:44. > :18:50.brilliant ball in. The goalkeeper only just put it over. Iran are six
:18:51. > :18:55.minutes away from one of their greatest ever results in world
:18:56. > :19:06.football. That is a good run by de Maria. Early cross. Lavezzi in
:19:07. > :19:11.there. The centre halves have been magnificent for Iran. It is
:19:12. > :19:30.Argentina's 10th corner. De Maria will take it. -- Di Maria. Here is
:19:31. > :19:35.the substitute, Jahanbakhsh. Here is Ghoochanneijhad for Iran. Blocked by
:19:36. > :19:43.Romero. If that had gone in, you would have seen it again and again
:19:44. > :19:51.and again for years to come. Four minutes of stoppage time announced.
:19:52. > :19:59.Lavezzi. Messi, give it to him and pray. Oh, and he has done it! It had
:20:00. > :20:07.to be Messi. He has broken in parts. When in doubt, give it to the
:20:08. > :20:15.magician -- he has broken Iranians hearts. The world's greatest player
:20:16. > :20:20.has come up with another magnificent goal. They shimmy to the left, and
:20:21. > :20:25.deliciously bend in. Look how far wide it started. And for all of
:20:26. > :20:31.Iran's defending, they simply could not keep it out, that magnificent,
:20:32. > :20:41.world-class finish. Now they can celebrate. He stretched six port and
:20:42. > :20:47.five inches and still couldn't get there. It has been a long, long,
:20:48. > :20:54.time coming -- six foot. It was worth the wait. In stoppage time,
:20:55. > :20:59.the hearts of Iran are broken. Argentina are through to the second
:21:00. > :21:07.phase. Let's find out how the other two teams in the group have been
:21:08. > :21:09.getting on, Nigeria against Bosnia. Steve Wilson and Kevin Kilbane are
:21:10. > :21:16.your commentators. It is likely that whoever wins this
:21:17. > :21:22.game will join Argentina in the last 16 of the tournament. Nigeria,
:21:23. > :21:29.African champions, making three changes. Joseph Yobo comes in. The
:21:30. > :21:36.tweaks are attacking ones, basically taking out the defensive midfielder
:21:37. > :21:57.and bringing on Odin Winnie. -- Odemwingie. Kolasinac is left out.
:21:58. > :22:05.Babatunde trying to provide support. The deflection takes it away. Good
:22:06. > :22:13.strength. A little bit stretched here, Bosnia. Begovic, away to his
:22:14. > :22:25.right, and Jon Obi Mikel is off target. Moussa always looking to
:22:26. > :22:26.stretch the defence. Good strike, but not confident he would hit the
:22:27. > :22:39.target. Pjanic, clever ball. Misimovic. Edin
:22:40. > :22:47.Dzeko, on-site, no, he's not. Offside. The flag was a little bit
:22:48. > :22:55.late, but it was up. Well, wonderful vision from Pjanic. Got his head up,
:22:56. > :23:04.looking forward, good movement from Dzeko. Really was a bad decision.
:23:05. > :23:11.Good movement from Dzeko. Pjanic. Edin Dzeko. Definitely onside this
:23:12. > :23:20.time. A really good chance this, and a decent save. Great movement from
:23:21. > :23:24.Dzeko. Brilliant ball from Pjanic. Very unlucky. The last few minutes
:23:25. > :23:34.have been a difficult spell the Nigeria, but here is Odemwingie. He
:23:35. > :23:46.can pull it back, and it is Odemwingie, 1-0. Peter Odemwingie
:23:47. > :23:50.with the goal. Spahic left on his backside, and it was pulled back
:23:51. > :23:55.into the path of Peter Odemwingie. Nigeria have the lead. They are
:23:56. > :24:01.claiming a foul on Spahic. The Nigeria take the lead. Read talks
:24:02. > :24:05.about them, and they are a threat going forward. He just wanted it
:24:06. > :24:12.more and outmuscle Spahic. Recognising he had the beating of
:24:13. > :24:17.him. Fully exploited. Really good run from him. Spahic actually tried
:24:18. > :24:24.to file him. A good pull-back and a good finish from Odemwingie. -- try
:24:25. > :24:29.to foul him. Definitely no foul. Tidy finish from Odemwingie.
:24:30. > :24:37.There are three inside the area. Comfortable for Spahic. Babatunde
:24:38. > :24:40.has time to bring it down and wriggle through challenges.
:24:41. > :24:43.Babatunde's shot and Begovic with the save. Nearly came back to Emily
:24:44. > :24:53.K. Can't get out at the moment, Bosnia.
:24:54. > :25:02.The temporary. Good save by Begovic. Great save. He has kept them in it
:25:03. > :25:13.-- Moussa. Coming in off the right. Ms controlled, but he felt him there
:25:14. > :25:24.and a great save by Begovic. Ibisevic. Subasic. Corner. A lot of
:25:25. > :25:29.aerial presence, the Bosnians. Corner kick, Ibisevic. That is a big
:25:30. > :25:36.chance. What a chance, what a chance. An absolute sitter for
:25:37. > :25:42.Ibisevic. Up towards Edin Dzeko. He might have got a click on that. Good
:25:43. > :25:48.blog, Yobo in the way. Pjanic now. They have got a corner. They have
:25:49. > :25:53.got a minimum of three minutes in which to score a goal. Pjanic will
:25:54. > :25:59.take it. Eight or nine inside the area. A near post flick. After Yobo,
:26:00. > :26:03.back to Pjanic. Downward header. Dzeko into the gloves of the
:26:04. > :26:11.goalkeeper. It has not been his night. Very little to feed off,
:26:12. > :26:15.especially in the second half. Good downward header, but straight at the
:26:16. > :26:26.goalkeeper. They look exhausted, Bosnia. Dead on their feet, aren't
:26:27. > :26:31.they? Edin Dzeko held it up. Can't believe it. He has hit the post. The
:26:32. > :26:36.goalkeeper got something on it. I did say it was not his night. Edin
:26:37. > :26:41.Dzeko, against the woodwork. It would have kept them in the World
:26:42. > :26:46.Cup. The keeper dived early as well. Of his leg, onto the right-hand
:26:47. > :26:56.post. And out of the World Cup go Bosnia and Herzegovina. So this is
:26:57. > :27:01.how the group looks. Argentina are through, Nigeria in second place on
:27:02. > :27:10.four points ahead of Iran, and Bosnia-Hercegovina, who cannot now
:27:11. > :27:12.progress, with Argentina finishing off, while Bosnia take on Iran in
:27:13. > :27:18.Salvador. The second game in succession
:27:19. > :27:24.Argentina haven't necessarily lit the place up but Messi has saved
:27:25. > :27:28.them. Both times in the second half. Everyone thought Iran would be the
:27:29. > :27:31.whipping boys of the group, but they created the best chances and they
:27:32. > :27:36.deserve something from the game, if not a victory but we are so lucky
:27:37. > :27:39.that we are probably witnessing the greatest player of all-time, who
:27:40. > :27:47.comes up with magical moment in every game. The moments are quite
:27:48. > :27:52.similar in how he scores the goals. We had another chance in the game,
:27:53. > :27:57.in on his left foot. Not slamming it, bending it. He takes so much
:27:58. > :28:01.care in striking the ball. The defender from Iran probably thought
:28:02. > :28:05.he was doing a good job to show him inside but he is lethal from that
:28:06. > :28:08.area and he set the ball outside the area and the technique of not
:28:09. > :28:14.hitting it too hard but getting that right, that is what sets him apart.
:28:15. > :28:18.I think he is a genius. Quick line on Nigeria, their first win at the
:28:19. > :28:24.World Cup since 1998 and have given themselves a good chance. A great
:28:25. > :28:27.chance. They defended really well Bosnia side who kept hitting them on
:28:28. > :28:32.the break. A lot of long-range shots, 14 in the game. I think they
:28:33. > :28:37.deserved to win the game. We expected more from Bosnia. Not Edin
:28:38. > :28:42.Dzeko's night. Four of five good chances, a goal disallowed which
:28:43. > :28:44.should not have been. Pjanic was probably the best midfield
:28:45. > :28:48.performance I've seen for a long time. His technique, awareness,
:28:49. > :28:53.vision was something we will miss in the rest of the World Cup. That is
