:00:58. > :01:06.Good morning. Welcome to highlights from the World Cup in Brazil. Danny
:01:07. > :01:10.Murphy here to cast his eye across the games. We watched France against
:01:11. > :01:14.Ecuador in the beautiful Maracana, Switzerland against ponderous to
:01:15. > :01:20.come but we start with Argentina, who have been in fine form, Lionel
:01:21. > :01:31.Messi banging the goals in. Nigeria there opponents. COMMENTATOR: A win
:01:32. > :01:34.for Argentina would see them top the group with maximum points and
:01:35. > :01:38.Nigeria know that if they avoid defeat they will also progress
:01:39. > :01:44.through to the knockout phase and victory in Nigeria would see them
:01:45. > :01:51.top the group ahead of Argentina. As expected Nigeria are unchanged. The
:01:52. > :01:57.defence have been solid, not yet conceding. Odemwingie the scorer of
:01:58. > :02:03.the early goal so far. Just like Nigeria, Argentina name an unchanged
:02:04. > :02:07.team. They're now Messi has eight goals in his last seven
:02:08. > :02:16.international appearances. -- Lionel Messi. The goalkeeper and Di Maria
:02:17. > :02:25.both win their 50th caps for Argentina in this match. Porto
:02:26. > :02:28.Alegre is about an eight-hour car ride from Argentina and it has been
:02:29. > :02:37.invaded today by Argentine supporters. That the letter to the
:02:38. > :02:44.right. Fernandez goes long, away by Joseph Yobo. Century of caps for the
:02:45. > :02:50.captain today. Di Maria, off the post, off the goalkeeper and away to
:02:51. > :02:54.safety but in on the rebound, Argentina have the early lead here
:02:55. > :03:01.in Porto Alegre. Who else? Lionel Messi. The Argentinian talismanic
:03:02. > :03:04.makes it three in as many matches. Even in their wildest dreams
:03:05. > :03:08.Argentina surely could not have envisaged a beginning to the match
:03:09. > :03:15.like this. Di Maria with the shop which cannons off the post not once
:03:16. > :03:21.but twice. -- shot. Who was going to get there first? Messi was. The
:03:22. > :03:38.worst possible beginning to Nigeria. Played wide by Babatunde. They have
:03:39. > :03:46.got an equaliser! Ahmed Musa strikes back almost immediately. What is the
:03:47. > :03:52.old saying about being vulnerable when you have just scored? It has
:03:53. > :03:55.just been proved again. Argentina stretched at the back, look at the
:03:56. > :04:12.room Ahmed Musa has. He cuts away from Zappa letter. Beyond the
:04:13. > :04:15.goalkeeper, Romero. -- Zappa letter Zabaleta --. Fantastic beginning. 80
:04:16. > :04:24.seconds was the time Argentina were in front. Any aimer with the saved
:04:25. > :04:26.from Di Maria. Di Maria showing that our designer will shed whenever they
:04:27. > :04:37.have the opportunity. Vincent Enyeama in the way. Messi, lovely
:04:38. > :04:45.through ball side netting. Then is an Higuain, nine goals in
:04:46. > :04:52.qualifying, set up by Messi. Vincent Enyeama doing enough to force the
:04:53. > :05:02.striker away from goal. Messi. Di Maria. Just pushed wide. It is
:05:03. > :05:07.definitely a policy for an girl Di Maria to shoot whenever he has the
:05:08. > :05:11.opportunity. -- Angel Di Maria. It was heading into the bottom corner
:05:12. > :05:24.as well until the interception from the goalkeeper. Fernandez. WHISTLE
:05:25. > :05:30.Argentina free kick. Messi stands behind this. Fernandez and Rocco
:05:31. > :05:43.have both come forward. Messi goes for gold, pushed away. -- Rojo.
:05:44. > :05:48.Beautifully struck and well saved. Messi, little bit of room, quickly
:05:49. > :05:54.closed down. The referee has brought it back, he was trying to play an
:05:55. > :06:02.advantage. The challenge on Messi, having come close just a moment or
:06:03. > :06:13.so ago, surely Lionel Messi will try to test Vincent Enyeama once more.
:06:14. > :06:19.Messi strikes. Extraordinary! Four goals at this World Cup now for
:06:20. > :06:25.Lionel Messi. Three shots, all on target and two goals. Vincent
:06:26. > :06:30.Enyeama going across his line, there did seem to be a moment as if he
:06:31. > :06:35.realised, I am not going to get there. Just everything you want from
:06:36. > :06:43.a free kick. The noise inside the stadium is incredible. Argentina
:06:44. > :06:51.have lost just one of their last 14 World Cup group stage matches. Ahmed
:06:52. > :06:59.Musa. Emenike. He might be away here, Ahmed Musa, 2-2! Extraordinary
:07:00. > :07:05.start to the match. And an amazing beginning to the second half. Ahmed
:07:06. > :07:13.Musa, with his second of the match. And twice now he has equalised for
:07:14. > :07:20.Nigeria. He was through. The only question was, could he finished? The
:07:21. > :07:29.answer, emphatically, yes. Superb scenes. Among supporters of the
:07:30. > :07:39.African side. As they draw level. Yellow card for Kenneth Omeruo.
:07:40. > :07:43.Fernandez coming forward from the back with Ezequiel Garay. Scrambled
:07:44. > :07:51.clear as far as Di Maria. Pushed away. Angel Di Maria has been denied
:07:52. > :08:05.by the Nigerian goalkeeper from long range. Lavezzi will take this
:08:06. > :08:10.corner. Towards Garay, 3-2! Marcos Rojo with the final touch and
:08:11. > :08:24.Argentina are back in front. The coach does not look happy man, that
:08:25. > :08:34.the supporters certainly are. Marcos Rojo with his first international
:08:35. > :08:41.goal. Messi. Able to keep going. Higuain with the run forward.
:08:42. > :08:50.Vincent Enyeama again with another important save for Nigeria. Ahmed
:08:51. > :08:59.Musa. Just like Messi, he is on a hat-trick. Nigeria get the corner.
:09:00. > :09:07.Yobo forward to add his presence. Babatunde with the corner. Towards
:09:08. > :09:12.Yobo. Rojo with the header. Ambrose, it might drop for Nigeria. John Obi
:09:13. > :09:26.Mikel with the opportunity and it was an excellent chance as well.
:09:27. > :09:32.Alvarez takes a tumble, there is no Messi now to take this free kick for
:09:33. > :09:37.Argentina. Di Maria towards Lavezzi, Vincent Enyeama with the save.
:09:38. > :09:41.Lavezzi again goes down in the area, appeals from the fans, it has to be
:09:42. > :09:46.said, none at all from any of the players. Inventive set piece.
:09:47. > :09:58.Vincent Enyeama able to keep Argentina at bay once more. Di
:09:59. > :10:06.Maria. Higuain waiting in the middle. For the little pull-back.
:10:07. > :10:13.Still he waits. Alvarez eventually gets a corner. All five of Argentina
:10:14. > :10:22.'s previous World Cup matches against African sides have been one
:10:23. > :10:27.by one goal margin. -- won by a one goal margin. That is just off
:10:28. > :10:37.target, what a chance from Garay. Higuain. Di Maria. He might be away
:10:38. > :10:41.here. Angel Di Maria. He must be sick of the site of Vincent
:10:42. > :10:47.Enyeama. The goalkeeper makes a save from Di Maria yet again. Victory has
:10:48. > :10:52.been confirmed here in Porto Alegre with a final blast of the referee 's
:10:53. > :11:03.whistle. Lionel Messi with two goals for Argentina. To inspire them to
:11:04. > :11:07.victory. Ahmed Musa with two for Nigeria as both halves started in
:11:08. > :11:15.spending asylum -- in splendid style. STUDIO: Messi inspired
:11:16. > :11:20.Argentina make it three out of three, Argentina losing left the
:11:21. > :11:24.door open for Iran to join the South Americans in the last 16 but only if
:11:25. > :11:29.they could beat Bosnia. Commentary on that one from Dave Woods.
:11:30. > :11:34.COMMENTATOR: For Bosnia today it is a case of repairing a bruised
:11:35. > :11:39.reputation, for Iran it is the small matter of May be creating a little
:11:40. > :11:45.bit of Iranian football history. Five changes for Bosnia, two players
:11:46. > :11:56.get their first taste of this World Cup. Significantly, Ibisevic returns
:11:57. > :12:00.to the starting line-up today. He has scored Bosnia's only goal so
:12:01. > :12:05.far. No surprises in this Iranian side, they are unchanged from the
:12:06. > :12:12.team that lost to Argentina, again there coach reckoned they should
:12:13. > :12:16.have drawn. The skipper one of three starters who have yellow cards to
:12:17. > :12:30.their name and could miss out on any knockout game if they are through.
:12:31. > :12:36.The early opportunity. He has gone down. Hoping that the Spanish
:12:37. > :12:41.referee would give him the decision but it is not coming. Spahic came
:12:42. > :12:47.across him but I do not think there was any intent or any real
:12:48. > :12:55.connection. Just a Bosnia threatening. Jacko. -- leading
:12:56. > :13:01.Jacko. He has forced a save. Ten goals in qualifiers for Edin Dzeko
:13:02. > :13:04.but yet to strike on the World Cup final stage itself. They are trying
:13:05. > :13:19.to create some liveliness from their side. Leading Jacko. On the left
:13:20. > :13:40.foot! Leading Jacko, wonderful strike. -- leading Jacko Dzeko gets
:13:41. > :13:45.his side 's second of the tournament. Finding absolute
:13:46. > :13:56.pinpoint precision. Iran's job just got a whole lot harder because of
:13:57. > :14:03.that man. Alireza Haghighi Came racing out to remonstrate with his
:14:04. > :14:09.own players. Almost an equaliser, the flag up so even though he was
:14:10. > :14:13.there looking to apply the finishing touches the flag had already gone
:14:14. > :14:25.out. Had it gone in it would have counted but when it comes back to
:14:26. > :14:34.Ghoochannejhad he is clearly offside. Does well to spurn the
:14:35. > :14:52.offer of a second, Dzeko laid it on a plate. Given it away in the
:14:53. > :15:09.dangerous position. Dzeko prods it forward, there with Merrill Lynch
:15:10. > :15:10.and edge -- can Pjanic. Might have been the case for offside against
:15:11. > :15:31.Pjanic when it came to him. Bosnia now have a 2-0 lead. Nekounam
:15:32. > :15:40.Trying to push aside forward again. Support arriving on the far side.
:15:41. > :15:47.Blocked away bravely by the Bosnian defence. Another chance but he pulls
:15:48. > :15:54.it just wide. Of a deflection, so it is a corner. -- off a deflection.
:15:55. > :15:59.Not sure it took a deflection off any of the Bosnian corners but it
:16:00. > :16:23.has -- players but it has given them a corner. It is off Dzeko and out
:16:24. > :16:44.for a corner kick. Good header away. There is no flank here, and a goal
:16:45. > :16:48.for air an! Ghoochannejhad! There might have been some question of
:16:49. > :16:53.offside, but Ghoochannejhad on the end of it. It an suddenly have the
:16:54. > :17:04.sense that they might still have some football to play at this
:17:05. > :17:11.tournament. Salihovic Lays it forward, and Bosnia breaking Iranian
:17:12. > :17:32.hearts just when they had started to beat again. Vrsajevic, what a
:17:33. > :17:42.smasher! Vrsajevic With his big finish has put it beyond doubt
:17:43. > :17:45.again. So in an's fate is sealed. A win today could have put them
:17:46. > :18:01.through but they have failed to deliver. -- Iran's fate. Three goals
:18:02. > :18:11.for Bosnia today, started by Dzeko. Ghoochannejhad's goal back giving
:18:12. > :18:18.Iran hope but that Vrsajevic goal made it 3-1. No joy for Iran who not
:18:19. > :18:23.only failed to qualify but finished bottom of the group. The result has
:18:24. > :18:29.more significance for Nigeria, who join Argentina in the knockout
:18:30. > :18:35.stages. Everyone expected Argentina to be a real force in this world
:18:36. > :18:47.group -- in this World Cup group, and Messi helps them get through.
:18:48. > :18:53.I'm glad he did because I backed them to win. He has shown that he
:18:54. > :18:57.can light up games. He can change games in an instant. To score four
:18:58. > :19:03.goals in his first three games and look as sharp as he does is a worry
:19:04. > :19:08.for other people. The worry for Argentina is defensively. They are
:19:09. > :19:13.shaky at the back, aren't they? Yes, we have seen that. If you play an
:19:14. > :19:16.attacking style, you will be susceptible defensively but that is
:19:17. > :19:23.something they will have to put up with. In one of the newspapers,
:19:24. > :19:30.someone has likened them to Donald Trump's hair, great at the front,
:19:31. > :19:38.not much happening at the back! What about Nigeria and the African teams
:19:39. > :19:42.in general? Do you think we're going to see an African team Duberry well
:19:43. > :19:47.at this World Cup and progressed to the latter stages of the tournament?
:19:48. > :19:55.I doubt it. They have shown glimpses of Proliant at times. Ghana's game
:19:56. > :20:01.was full of skill. -- glimpses of great talent. I just think that
:20:02. > :20:07.against good quality opposition, concentration levels sometimes
:20:08. > :20:10.switch off defensively. They make some bad decisions sometimes. I
:20:11. > :20:15.would be surprised to see an African team in the latter stages to be
:20:16. > :20:20.honest. Switzerland against Honduras will be coming your way in a few
:20:21. > :20:24.minutes. But what about the free scoring French? Could they make it
:20:25. > :20:27.three wins out of three against Ecuador? We will find out because
:20:28. > :20:31.commentary comes from Philip Neville and Steve Wilson.
:20:32. > :20:39.COMMENTATOR: The group winners in Group E will play Colombia on Monday
:20:40. > :20:44.and the runners-up will take on Argentina in Sao Paulo on Tuesday.
:20:45. > :20:48.The onus is on Ecuador. They could lose and go through or they could
:20:49. > :20:51.win and go out but if they get nothing, they are relying on
:20:52. > :20:59.Honduras for favours against Switzerland. In Antonio Valencia
:21:00. > :21:09.they have pace and strength and Enner Valencia has scored twice
:21:10. > :21:18.already at the World Cup. Hugo Lloris is the captain for France, in
:21:19. > :21:23.goal. Lucas Digne is in. Paul Pogba returns and so does Antoine
:21:24. > :21:30.Griezmann. They could join the Netherlands and Colombia as the only
:21:31. > :21:43.sides to reach the last 16 so far with 100% records. Excellent control
:21:44. > :21:50.by Matuidi. Griezmann. Matuidi. Benzema making a run in the middle.
:21:51. > :21:59.It won't reach him. That is put behind for a French corner, off
:22:00. > :22:11.Guagua. He has so much energy, Matuidi. French corner, Griezmann to
:22:12. > :22:16.take. Cleared away by Valencia. Sakho was a bit naughty then, he
:22:17. > :22:21.threw an elbow out. He was lucky that the referee did not spot it or
:22:22. > :22:26.he would have been off. Sakho for France, looking composed. Pogba
:22:27. > :22:31.forward. Griezmann trying to regulate through to Karim Benzema.
:22:32. > :22:37.The shot did not really trouble Alexander Dominguez in the Ecuador
:22:38. > :22:41.goal. But he does see things and the opportunity to get the shot away
:22:42. > :22:47.early. It just goes to show how things can change. Didier Deschamps
:22:48. > :22:50.lost five of his first 11 games as the manager of France. Now
:22:51. > :22:57.everything appears to be going swimmingly. Matuidi's ball into the
:22:58. > :23:04.box was not bad but not well dealt with, terrific drive from Sissoko on
:23:05. > :23:12.the volley. Great drive from Sissoko and a good save. Ecuador are playing
:23:13. > :23:20.so deep, so difficult to get the ball through to Enner Valencia.
:23:21. > :23:25.Nicely done by Griezmann. Free kick. Caught between a rock and a
:23:26. > :23:29.hard place, Ecuador. They are working overtime just to keep the
:23:30. > :23:35.French out. They obviously cannot lose the game but they also need to
:23:36. > :23:43.win it. If Ecuador fall behind, the last bit of belief might ebb away.
:23:44. > :23:50.Good save by Dominguez. Paper early on header by Paul Pogba. I think
:23:51. > :24:00.that slave was one for the cameras. -- is a good header by Paul Pogba.
:24:01. > :24:08.At Arroyo. Enner Valencia, back post! Lloris with the save. Smashed
:24:09. > :24:12.away by Sakho. Look at the leap here by Enner Valencia. That is
:24:13. > :24:22.incredible, how high he gets off the floor. Quite a simple save for
:24:23. > :24:27.Lloris in the end. Lost it. Benzema. Great change of direction
:24:28. > :24:31.and good curl on it too, but straight to the goalkeeper from
:24:32. > :24:35.Karim Benzema. We have seen a couple of these in this tournament, where
:24:36. > :24:41.you set it up outside the post. The keeper read it well. No half-time
:24:42. > :24:47.changes from either manager. Karim Benzema finding Pogba. That good
:24:48. > :24:54.header in the first half, Pogba. In by Bacary Sagna! Excellent save of
:24:55. > :25:03.the inside of the post, Griezmann denied. Terrific stop. Wonderful
:25:04. > :25:08.technique. Griezmann just flicks it off the side of his foot. That is
:25:09. > :25:14.pure instinct from Dominguez. Antonio Valencia Hitler.
:25:15. > :25:31.-- Antonio Valencia here. This is what went on there. Valencia on
:25:32. > :25:45.Lucas Digne. His foot lands on the ball first, but then ouch. The
:25:46. > :25:49.referee is now calling over Antonio Valencia, who is sent off. The
:25:50. > :25:53.skipper is now gone and maybe with him have gone their chances of
:25:54. > :26:00.progressing in this World Cup. Antonio Valencia, red card. A good
:26:01. > :26:15.tackle by he did brilliantly. He has put it
:26:16. > :26:21.wide! What a chance. He can't believe it. He is complaining about
:26:22. > :26:27.that pass, he just checked his stride and played behind him. In the
:26:28. > :26:32.end, he is falling as he hits it. They have lost possession here.
:26:33. > :26:39.Karim Benzema into Matuidi! Big chance. Dominguez is there again. He
:26:40. > :26:48.made that look like child's play. Great wait on the past by Benzema.
:26:49. > :27:04.-- a great weight on the pass. Sissoko. Giroud once the pass. He
:27:05. > :27:18.gets it. He is an side, is he? He settles for a corner. Sagna. A
:27:19. > :27:24.chance, Pogba at the back post! Can't believe he has missed it.
:27:25. > :27:25.Cannot believe he has missed it. Lovely ball to the back post from
:27:26. > :27:45.Bacary Sagna. It is almost three against two.
:27:46. > :27:52.Enner Valencia is there. White shirts have retreated. Schneiderlin,
:27:53. > :27:57.one of them, got in the way. It was a good height for Hugo Lloris. If he
:27:58. > :28:05.had kept that bound it could have nestled into the bottom corner. This
:28:06. > :28:12.is going to be end to end stuff for the last few minutes. Pogba feeds
:28:13. > :28:18.Benzema. Benzema finding Olivier Giroud. The keeper is there yet
:28:19. > :28:24.again. Well, he has had a match to remember. The man in goal for
:28:25. > :28:40.Ecuador, Alexander Dominguez. It was a great pull-back by Olivier Giroud.
:28:41. > :28:45.Here is Benzema. Finding Loic Remy. Loic Remy goes alone. Guess who is
:28:46. > :28:50.there once again? The goalkeeper has had a wonderful night. Look at this
:28:51. > :29:00.from Olivier Giroud. He knows what he is doing, there. Here is Sagna.
:29:01. > :29:08.Olivier Giroud! Is there a magnet in that ball and his gloves? He was in
:29:09. > :29:13.the right place at the right time. And the referee blows his whistle
:29:14. > :29:21.and France have one Group E -- France have
:29:22. > :29:31.France are unbeaten in their final game and the group. They top the
:29:32. > :29:35.group but can Ecuador joined them in qualifying? Switzerland need to win
:29:36. > :29:50.against Honduras to make it to the last 16.
:29:51. > :29:56.You sense it is now or never for Switzerland. I was there to see the
:29:57. > :29:59.first and only meeting between these nations in South Africa when
:30:00. > :30:03.Switzerland had the opportunity to win the game and progress in the
:30:04. > :30:07.tournament and fails to take that opportunity and went home. Will they
:30:08. > :30:18.be able to avoid a repeat of that scenario this and evening? Wilson
:30:19. > :30:24.Palacios returns to the midfield after missing the defeat to France
:30:25. > :30:31.through suspension. The centre of defence once again marshalled by
:30:32. > :30:34.Figueroa of Hull City. And the reaction to defeat by France is to
:30:35. > :30:41.make two changes for Switzerland, one of the men forced as Steve von
:30:42. > :30:49.Bergen fractured an eye socket against the French so incomes Fabian
:30:50. > :30:55.Schar of Basel, who was their top scorer in qualified. Ottmar Hitzfeld
:30:56. > :30:57.retiring after this one and. -- this tournament.
:30:58. > :31:26.Lichtsteiner. Good balance from Shaqiri, decent try! What a goal! A
:31:27. > :31:39.dream start for Switzerland. Unstoppable. From the Bayern Munich
:31:40. > :31:45.man. They needed goals and stepped up and provided a sublime one. KEVIN
:31:46. > :31:50.KILBANE: he fully exploited the space he was given. Brilliant strike
:31:51. > :31:58.from Shaqiri, what a goal, into the top corner, outstanding finish.
:31:59. > :32:00.Brilliant, quite brilliant. Ottmar Hitzfeld was offered a contract
:32:01. > :32:14.extension before the tournament began. You always feel with Honduras
:32:15. > :32:18.to expect the unexpected. You cannot relax against them, that is for
:32:19. > :32:23.sure. A little unlucky not to get a draw against Ecuador in the end.
:32:24. > :32:27.They missed some good chances in that badge. Bernardez missed that
:32:28. > :32:36.and here is Shaqiri with a real chance! -- in that match. His and
:32:37. > :32:47.Switzerland's second. Shaqiri doubles their advantage. Clinical
:32:48. > :32:55.again from the 22-year-old. Two for him and two for Switzerland. They
:32:56. > :33:00.cannot live with his movement. A good ball played through from Drmic
:33:01. > :33:24.to Shaqiri come he just waited, didn't he, waited for ballot no
:33:25. > :33:29.valid Rodriguez on the line to deny Hunter Russell goal, the closest the
:33:30. > :33:34.Central Americans have come. Wilson Palacios, chadors goes for the
:33:35. > :33:39.return, that is a goal kick. They cannot get many more of these
:33:40. > :33:43.chances and keep missing them. Again it was very simple, rounding the
:33:44. > :33:47.keeper, excellent play from Rodriguez, the left-back, getting
:33:48. > :34:05.back across and covering for his goalkeeper. Shaqiri on the move, an
:34:06. > :34:10.side. Men he went for Shaqiri. Denied by Valladares, hat-trick
:34:11. > :34:13.goal. So, so easy, wasn't it? Shaqiri makes it look so easy the
:34:14. > :34:20.way that he plays, such an elegant player. Palacios, there is no foul.
:34:21. > :34:29.There might be now. What is the referee going to do? Nothing.
:34:30. > :34:34.Honduras furious. Dot-macro again Djourou is susceptible to the
:34:35. > :34:38.diagonal ball, not able to get his body shape right. When you get the
:34:39. > :34:43.wrong side of the defender you are always in trouble, I think it is a
:34:44. > :34:51.penalty, I really do. Rodriguez with the long ball. Drmic is not offside.
:34:52. > :35:02.Shaqiri is available square for him. Shaqiri still waiting, here is
:35:03. > :35:07.Shaqiri for the hat-trick! All three goals from Shaqiri. He acknowledges
:35:08. > :35:12.the path that Josip Drmic played in that third goal. You can safely say
:35:13. > :35:20.is Switzerland have done their job now. They hat-trick for showdown
:35:21. > :35:31.chair Dan -- Shaqiri. Great goal, really is a
:35:32. > :35:34.simple finish in the end, Drmic's movement was quite brilliant, really
:35:35. > :35:40.was, good goal, comfortable for Switzerland. I think this is quite
:35:41. > :35:46.clever from Ottmar Hitzfeld because he is removing Shaqiri with four
:35:47. > :35:50.minutes to go and all of the Swiss supporters, let me tell you, the
:35:51. > :35:54.neutrals as well, giving him a standing ovation, what a
:35:55. > :35:58.performance. We came here looking for him to produce all we knew he
:35:59. > :36:03.was the star player in the side and he certainly has done that, three
:36:04. > :36:07.brilliant goals today. He will remember the day in Manaus in Brazil
:36:08. > :36:11.when he scored a World Cup hat-trick. Outstanding, full credit
:36:12. > :36:22.to him, not many players can say that and it is an outstanding
:36:23. > :36:24.achievement for him. Full-time in Manaus, Switzerland have done their
:36:25. > :36:26.job and convincingly courtesy of a hat-trick from Shaqiri. That is what
:36:27. > :36:33.it means to Ottmar Hitzfeld, Honduras well beaten. All of that
:36:34. > :36:37.means that the group finally looks like this: France the group winners
:36:38. > :36:46.but because Ecuador failed to beat the French, 6-point ease macro --
:36:47. > :36:52.six points from Switzerland is enough to say them into the next
:36:53. > :36:57.round for the first time since 1994. France end up topping the group but
:36:58. > :37:04.it was a tough watch at times. It was fascinating as well. We thought
:37:05. > :37:10.he was unlucky when his foot slipped off the ball, but they've all
:37:11. > :37:16.actually got themselves in some really good positions. But did not
:37:17. > :37:19.quite have enough. The French had chances, played within themselves a
:37:20. > :37:23.little bit, a lot of their squad players given a game and none of
:37:24. > :37:27.them were overly impressive. I still think the French have a few gears to
:37:28. > :37:32.go into. We saw against Switzerland how good they can be in front of
:37:33. > :37:36.goal and I would fancy them to beat Nigeria. The one thing Didier
:37:37. > :37:41.Deschamps learned is that his first was 11 is his first was 11? Yes, it
:37:42. > :37:46.is difficult for players to come in and the final game and get to the
:37:47. > :37:50.pace of it quickly but I think some of those players should really have
:37:51. > :37:54.been putting in better displays to try to displace those or at least
:37:55. > :37:58.show the manager they are ready if needed. They got better nearer the
:37:59. > :38:02.end which you expect against ten men but overall I don't think many of
:38:03. > :38:07.those players will give the manager the headache tonight. Switzerland
:38:08. > :38:10.managing to edge out Ecuador and I think the 50th World Cup hat-trick,
:38:11. > :38:16.from Shaqiri, they now face Argentina. Can you see any way for
:38:17. > :38:20.them to get past them? Most prediction so far I have done have
:38:21. > :38:25.been wrong. I actually think Argentina will beat them. What
:38:26. > :38:30.Switzerland have God is one or two players especially Shaqiri, who can
:38:31. > :38:32.really cause Argentina problems. Defensively we saw against the
:38:33. > :38:37.French they were all over the place. Argentina's firepower, I
:38:38. > :38:41.cannot see them not getting chances and scoring goals. I am looking
:38:42. > :38:45.forward to that, it will be an open and attacking game. Great stuff,
:38:46. > :38:50.Danny, thank you for watching as well. Coming up later you can see
:38:51. > :38:55.Germany taking on the USA, led by a German, fantastic game to keep you
:38:56. > :38:57.going. We shall be back with highlights tomorrow warning. We will
:38:58. > :39:01.see you soon.
