World Cup as it happened: Confusion reigns as goal overturned twice

And that’s a wrap for nine.com.au’s live coverage of day four of the World Cup.

It was an absolute goal-fest, with Germany putting seven past Curacao and then Sweden scoring five against Tunisia.

Let’s do it all again tomorrow from 5am AEST with action from four more group games.

We will get our first look at tournament favourites Spain who start overwhelming favourites against Cape Verde and New Zealand kick off their campaign against Iran.

See you then!

Sweden scores a fifth goal late in the piece and it’s a 5-1 victory over Tunisia!

It is Yasin Ayari who scores the first and last goals of the game.

What a match!

What is happening!

Sweden scores a goal, then it’s taken away, and then it is given back!

Absolute chaos here after Mattias Svanberg of Sweden comes onto the pitch and manages to score 18 seconds later.

But the sideline referee puts his flag up and the ref takes the goal away.

The Swedish bench is up in arms and VAR gets involved, before finding Tunisia actually had a player touch the ball on its way through to Svanberg.

So after several minutes the goal is handed back to Sweden and it is 4-1.

Mayhem!

The Uruguay national team arrived in Miami on Monday after a travel ordeal ahead of its opening World Cup match against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Uruguay pinned the blame on FIFA for their troubles flying from Mexico to Miami, yet they reportedly faced the threat of sanction if their head coach and captain could not make it to a mandatory press conference.

The original flight reportedly was not allowed to depart due to administrative issues, including some missing paperwork, and officials had to scramble to line up a new flight.

The Athletic reported that a member of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) said FIFA was responsible for the travelling snafu. FIFA is in charge of all travel related to the 48-team World Cup.

Uruguay is training in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and held a practice on Monday. When the travelling delegation reached the airport in Cancun, approximately 45 miles away, they learned the group was not authorised to enter the United States.

The AUF said that a second plane from South Florida was en route to pick up the squad, while players waited at a resort outside Cancun until its arrival.

“Due to problems beyond the control of the AUF, the departure from Mexico has been delayed,” the AUF said in a statement.

FIFA later released a statement to the Daily Mail and other outlets.

“Due to an airline permitting error in Mexico, the Uruguay national team’s departure from Cancun to Miami was delayed,” the statement said. “The airline has apologised for the inconvenience caused. FIFA remained in close contact with the Uruguay national team throughout their delay and worked alongside airport and operational partners to help expedite the process and minimise disruption to the team’s travel arrangements.”

Sweden goes up 2-1!

Viktor Gyokeres gets inside the box and then gets it past the ’keeper.

It’s a high scoring affair!

Fans are getting their money’s worth.

An intriguing fact about Sweden’s first goal scorer, Yasin Ayari.

The young gun’s father is Tunisian, perhaps explaining why he didn’t go crazy when scoring his first goal at a World Cup for Sweden.

He could have easily been playing for the other side!

His celebration was described as “muted” by The Athletic.

The 22-year-old plays for Brighton & Hove Albion.

It’s an exciting encounter at Estadio Monterrey and we’re 2-1 to Sweden at half time.

The Tunisian bench received a warning from the referee shortly before half time after they got a bit too excited near the sideline as their team pressed to level the scores.

“Both the manager and his assistant get a stern warning,” the commentator says.

Tunisia is on the board and it is 2-1 before half time!

Hannibal Mejbri delivers a beautiful ball into the box and it finds the head of teammate Omar Rekik to beat the ’keeper.

How many goals will we see in the second half?

Sweden has gone ahead 2-0!

Liverpool superstar Alexander Isak makes a great run down the left wing and then fires a long rocket past the Tunisia goalkeeper.

Shot-stopper Abdelmouhib Chamakh comes under a bit of fire from the American commentators.

“You would expect better from a goalkeeper of his quality,” one says on the broadcast.

Every manager and his dog has a punditry gig during a World Cup and ex-Socceroos boss Ange Postecoglou has been snapped up by ITV in England.

Postecoglou was just as pumped as the rest of Australia watching Nestory Irankunda’s arrival on the global stage.

“Doesn’t matter what level of football you’re playing... if you have this kind of speed, you’re always going to be a threat,” Postecoglou said.

“Exactly what (Tony) Popovic would have wanted. (Australia) are always a threat on the counter-attack, as exemplified by the goal.”

Irankunda plays for Championship club Watford but is likely heading somewhere a bit sexier after this tournament.

“Sometimes in World Cups, you just need a couple of good weeks and your whole world changes,” Postecoglou said.
