World Cup gets underway later

The World cup has finally arrived as hosts Brazil take on Croatia in Sao Paulo at 9 o’clock this evening.

The Brazilians have won their last nine matches scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.

Croatia are unbeaten in the five matches since Niko Kovac took charge last October, winning three games and drawing two.

Mexico and Cameroon are the other teams in that group.
