On the podcast today: Netherlands v Japan comes to life in the second half with all four goals in their 2-2 draw coming after the break. The Netherlands took the lead twice but Japan equalised with a late header just as everyone was questioning their decision to keep crossing into the box.

Elsewhere; Curaçao had their moment, equalising against Germany. However the Germans were ultimately too good and put seven past the debutants. Ivory Coast squeeze past an unlucky Ecuador who hit the bar three times.

Plus, more reflections on a historic night for Australia, a preview of tomorrow’s action and your questions answered.
