Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was proud to be part of Sweden's 3-0 victory over Mexico. The win sees the Swedes reach the World Cup round of 16. Lindelof said: "It is clear that it was very tough (against Germany) and we were very angry and sad after the match there.

French pundit Pierre Menes has again taken aim at Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante. Menes was again left disappointed by Kante's performance for the 0-0 draw with Denmark in their final group game. He said: "I'll repeat what I said about the first two games: at the level of activity and recovery of the ball, he's excellent.

Arsenal hero Sol Campbell believes England should rest Tottenham striker Harry Kane today. Campbell, who played at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups for his country, believes that Kane should not be risked against Belgium. “I would rather him on the bench and then coming on for the last 20 minutes, half an hour," Campbell said to Sky Sports News. Yes, he wants to win the Golden Boot but then you have got to save the legs. “From your legs to your mental approach, I think it all factors in."

Republic of Ireland coach Martin O'Neill slammed Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic for Serbia's World Cup defeat. Goals from Paulinho and Thiago Silva sent Serbia packing. “I'm surprised at Matic because he usually can pick up players well when he's playing for Manchester United or Chelsea before that," O'Neill said. “But he's far, far too tight to Thiago Silva and then loses him in that little race. “Thiago Silva, or anyone, is always going to beat him in a race here.

Irish pundit Eamon Dunphy has slammed Manchester United legend Roy Keane over his World Cup commentary. "He has become a caricature of himself, he has become a joke," declared Dunphy. "I watched the ITV coverage because he was on it and in terms of insight, he has offered nothing. "At half-time, this is where the analysts do their job, but there is no analysis from Keane. Just smart-a*** remarks saying he wants to rip Carlos Queiroz's head off, having a go at the English…there is no intelligent analysis.

Even Marco Rojo's Mum will take the mick out of the Manchester United defender and his weak right foot! And his mum Carlina was more surprised because he had scored the winning goal with his right foot. It's because the kick was right footed, and he only uses the right foot to support himself, we did not think it was Marcos. "He said that I deserved it all, that it was for me and that he loved me. I said before the game that he was going to score a goal and Messi two, for the people who were talking bad about Leo.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has branded Germany "pathetic" after being dumped out of the World Cup by South Korea.

Even if we had gone through, in the next round or the round afterwards, we'd have been knocked out." As the fallout began in earnest, manager Joachim Low also admitted they got precisely what they deserved in their 2-0 defeat in Kazan.
