The Socceroos' next World Cup opponents Egypt are sweating on the fitness of key striker Mohamed Salah, Scotland's coach Steve Clarke resigns after his team's exit and Davinson Sánchez was denied a late winner by his toe. Here are today's World Cup quick hits.1. Scotland out, coach outScotland's World Cup exit was confirmed when Croatia beat Ghana on Sunday morning, and Steve Clarke's resignation letter followed almost instantly."The most emotional part of this goodbye is for my players," Clarke wrote in a statement released by the Scottish FA."They deserve all the praise and adulation that they receive and it was truly an honour to be called their Gaffer."Thanks for having me and good luck to my successor."Steve Clarke (left) resigned as Scotland coach after the team was eliminated from the World Cup. (Getty Images: PA Images/Martin Rickett)Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in their tournament opener, roared on by the Tartan Army who had taken over Boston in a riot of noise and colour.However, a 1-0 defeat against Morocco and a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Brazil meant qualifying as one of the best-ranked third-placed teams was always going to be a long shot.The Scottish FA thanked Clarke for his "record breaking contribution" over the past seven years."While we are all disappointed to have exited the World Cup at the group stage, we must not lose sight of the undeniable progress made during Steve's seven years in charge," Ian Maxwell, the Scottish FA chief executive said.2. Salah's struggles give Socceroos a boostMohamed Salah is a doubt for the Socceroos' next match. (Getty Images: AMA/Robbie Jay Barratt)The Socceroos may have just been given a huge boost ahead of their meeting with Egypt on Saturday, with The Pharaohs' biggest star struggling with injury.Egypt captain and Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah is suffering from a hamstring issue and is a doubt for the last 32 clash against the Socceroos in Dallas.Salah was substituted during Egypt's 1-1 draw with Iran on Friday after complaining of pain."I talked to Salah and he said he's going to be OK and it's not a big injury," Hossam Hassan said after the game. "I think he will be back, and when I spoke to Salah he assured me he's going to be OK."Scans later confirmed a hamstring strain, team doctor Mohamed Abou El Ela said in a statement released by the EFA, with the 34-year-old undergoing treatment.Salah is a four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner and scored his 68th international goal in the 3-1 victory against New Zealand, Egypt's first ever World Cup finals win.He also provided two assists in Egypt's three group-stage matches as the The Pharaohs finished second in their group, making their way to the World Cup knockout stage for the first time in their history.3. DR Congo super fan misses outMichel Nkuka Mboladinga, also known as Lumumba Vea, missed his side's greatest triumph. (Getty Images: FIFA/Ryan Pierse)Democratic Republic of Congo super fan Michel Nkuka Mboladinga missed his side's key World Cup clash against Uzbekistan on Saturday because he was not granted a United States visa.Mboladinga rose to prominence at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco at the turn of the year.He cut a unique figure on the terraces as he stood motionless throughout DR Congo's matches in tribute to his country's first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, a revered figure in the country after being killed by firing squad in 1961.Mboladinga bears a remarkable resemblance to Lumumba, wearing colourful suits with his country's colours.But after supporting the Congolese in their last match in Mexico, he could not be in Atlanta for their must-win game, despite the Congolese US ambassador, Kapinga Yvette Ngandu, telling Reuters she hoped he would be able to come."I hope he brings his own brand of support to the team," she said on Saturday.In the end, he wasn't needed, as DR Congo won 3-1 to secure a historic spot in the knockout rounds.4. Toenail denies Colombia late winner in historic drawDavinson Sánchez could not believe he was offside. (Getty Images: SNS Group/Craig Williamson)Offsides don't get much tighter than this.Colombia absolutely dominated Portugal in a thrilling Group K clash in Miami, hitting 24 total shots, six of which were on target for an xG of 1.63.But try as it might, it just couldn't find the goal that would have sealed top spot in the group, until injury time that is.Davinson Sánchez rose at the back post and nodded home Juan Fernando Quintero's deep cross to send the Colombian supporters wild.However, the flag went up, curtailing the celebrations.It looked initially like a bad call, with Rafael Leão appearing to keep everyone onside.But it turned out to be a belter of a call by the assistant, who somehow spotted that Sánchez's toe was offside. Davinson Sánchez was shown to be offside by the barest of margins after scoring what he thought was a late winner.
