Well, that's the end of another dramatic day at the World Cup.

Thanks for joining myself and Henry today.

Come back tomorrow when heavyweights Argentina and France will be in action.

New Zealand bottom of Group G

By David Hirst

New Zealand would be top of Group G if they'd won.

Defeat has left them bottom.

That's how close it is.

By David Hirst

Mo Salah scored his first goal of the World Cup as Egypt came from behind to beat New Zealand 3-1 in Vancouver.

Finn Surman was left unmarked at a corner to head New Zealand in front after 14 minutes.

Egypt struggled to create chances with star man Salah on the fringes of the game.

Callum McCowatt almost made it 2-0 just after the break when his flicked header was pushed over the bar by the keeper.

Mostafa Zico drew Egypt level on 58 minutes when he powerfully headed in a cross.

Salah made 2-1 on 68 minutes, coolly shooting into the bottom corner after a neat one-two.

Substitute Trezeguet headed in Salah's whipped corner to make it 3-1 on 81 minutes.

The win was Egypt's first ever in the World Cup and they now top Group G.

It had been coming.

Salah makes his mark at last.

A nice one-two and Salah hits it first time into the bottom corner.

Great finish by the former Liverpool man.

We're level again in Vancouver and it's another header.

Mostafa Zico heads in the cross.

Could New Zealand keeper Max Crocombe have done better?

Crocombe got his hands to it but it still went in.

It was headed with power though.

55' Great block by Finn Surman

By David Hirst

Finn Surman is having a super game.

A fantastic block to deny Zico.

New Zealand have never won a game at a World Cup.

They're 45 minutes away from topping Group G.

Egypt were dreadful in that first half.

The most culturally diverse World Cup ever

D

By David Hirst

On the day before Croatia's first World Cup game against England thousands of fans filled the streets of downtown Dallas for a parade and pre-game party.

There were plenty of fans who had travelled from Croatia, but many were part of the US, Canadian and even Australian diaspora.

Even more were locals, eager to wear red and white and be part of the tournament in some way.

These scenes have been replicated across the US, Canada and Mexico, including locals adopting teams where fans have not been allowed to travel due to US visa restrictions on countries like Haiti, Senegal and Iran.

Nationalities and on-field rivalries have made way for revelry in cultural exchanges, which are a hallmark of many major sporting events.

But can that make a difference under a US administration increasingly cracking down on immigration?

42' Egypt forced into a change

Hamdy Fathi is coming off, with Ramy Rabia coming on to replace him at the back.

Looks like an injury.

Not the best first half from Egypt.

34' Salah fires wide

By David Hirst

It is Mo Salah who takes the free-kick, but it goes wide.

Not his best effort.
