7.38amHow far will the Socceroos go?By Getting dizzy with all the World Cup predictors? Me too. Here’s an easy breakdown of just how far the Socceroos may go, brought to you by our experts, including five-time FIFA World Cup contender, former Matildas goalkeeper Lydia Williams:7.20amBosnian fans fill the Canadian streetsBy Check out this footage of Bosnian fans in Toronto ahead of their match against the host nation this morning. Something about this video and the World Cup spirit nearly brings a tear to my eye.7.02amFull-time in TorontoBy History made for Canada – their first-ever point at a World Cup as the game ends 1-1 in Toronto with goals from Jovo Lukic in the 21st minute and Canada’s Cyle Larin in the 78th. 6.56amCanadians are crossing their fingersBy There will be six minutes of extra time to close out this match, if Canada can hold on to this 1-1 scoreline, they should be happy. It will be the first time since their World Cup debut in 1986 that they’ve done so much as draw in a group-stage match. It’s not promising for the rest of the tournament, but it’ll give Alanis Morisette and Michael Buble something else to sing about. Canadian fans will be recreating this celebration from Cyle Larin if they concede a goal in the final minutes of the match.AP Photo/Sam Balkansky6.43amCanada score!By Call me a prophet – Cyle Larin has just scored! No less than three minutes after coming off the bench Larin is onside with his back facing the goal when teammate Promise David slings the ball his way. Larin turns and makes it look easy, with one touch on his right foot he shoots the ball into the back of the net. Ryan Reynolds absolutely loves it, he’s high-fiving in the stands. Cyle Larin celebrates his goal. Getty Images6.40amStats at the hydration breakBy We’ve made it passed another hydration break and hosts Canada are still goalless in their opening match of the World Cup. And not for a lack of trying either, the scoreline doesn’t quite reflect the statistics so far, but there’s still 15 minutes of regular time to play. Canada have just made their fourth substitution too, bringing Southampton forward Cyle Larin on – maybe he’ll be the difference.6.22amSecond half under way in TorontoBy Canada have missed another shining chance of a goal in the opening 10 minutes of the second half in Toronto. It would have gone in if not for a brilliant display of on the line defending from Bosnia’s Sead Kolasinac.If you’re up and at’em this morning, (perhaps you’re Canadian or drew Bosnia and Herzegovina in your office sweepstakes), let us know who you think will win. 6.10amMeet the Socceroos’ wildcard weaponBy One thing you must do today is take some time to read football correspondent Vince Rugari’s Good Weekend profile on the Socceroos’ wildcard weapon Nestory Irankunda. Rugari caught up with the 20-year-old when he returned to Adelaide for a week after finishing his season with English club Watford and before flying out for Socceroos camp.Rugari writes: If you don’t know about him yet, now’s the time to learn. Australian football has spent years searching for its next mainstream male star player, an heir to the throne left vacant by Tim Cahill. Well, here he is: meet Nestory Irankunda, the Socceroos’ wildcard at this World Cup, the jewel of the national team’s exciting new generation. We’ve had plenty of good players before, but none quite like this guy. He has blistering pace, incredible power, a healthy streak of arrogance and a shot that fires like a bazooka. Others could go through three careers and not compile half of the highlight reel he already has – and he’s only 20 years old.You can read the piece in full here.Nestory Irankunda could be Australia’s next football superstar.Randy Larcombe6.01amHalftime at Toronto StadiumBy It has been a frustrating first 45 minutes for Canada. The hosts have had plenty of the play, two-thirds possession and 10 corners but find themselves 1-0 down. Since Bosnia’s opening goal it’s felt like it has been all Canada.Is the sense of occasion, a first World Cup game at home, getting to the Canadian players? Maybe, but the team also has an unenviable record of having conceded the first goal in six of its seven World Cup matches. It has also never won a World Cup group game. They’ve had good chances to score today and have not taken them. Jonathan David should have buried at least one. Their set piece play has also been non-threatening. Coach Jesse Marsch spoke about how important set pieces would be for his side ahead of his tournament so he will no doubt have something to say to his team at half-time. At the break it is Bosnia that lead thanks to the head of Lukic.Jovo Lukic scores his first international goal.Getty Images5.33amGoal! Bosnia and Herzegovina scoreBy Bosnia have scored, and it has come largely against the run of play.It’s a simple set piece play by the Dragons, a front post flick on from a corner kick to the waiting head of Jovo Lukic who scores his first international goal.Moments earlier Jonathan David had fantastic opportunity to have scored for the home side.The ball broke through nicely for David, but he hits it first time and his shot is straight at Bosnian keeper Nikola Vasilj.Bosnia and Herzegovina take a 1-0 lead just in time for the “drinks break”.Jovo Lukic celebrates scoring the opening goal.Getty Images1 of 2
