HALF-TIME: Both sides will be happy to get out of the rain and into drier conditions during the break as the first 45 minutes ends goalless. Germany have had the majority of the possession but USA have looked quite dangerous on the counter. If the half-time scores stand in each game, USA and Germany would go through to the Round of 16, but plenty can still happen between now and the final whistle.

HALF TIME: It's some Messi magic that puts Argentina in the ascendancy at the interval. After his late heroics against Iran, the skipper opened the scoring inside three minutes today, before Musa levelled 80 seconds later. The No10 left it late, curling a beautiful free-kick past the impressive Enyeama in stoppage time at the end of the half. In the other game in Group F, already-eliminated Bosnia and Herzegovina lead Iran 1-0 thanks to Edin Dzeko's goal.

FULL TIME: It's all over in Porto Alegre and Nigeria have been defeated, but it doesn't matter - they progress to the Round of 16 along with Group F winners Argentina. We had a blistering start at the Estadio Beira-Rio with two goals in the opening four minutes: Messi followed by Musa. The Barça star then scored a sublime free-kick minutes before the interval before Musa doubled his account just after the break. Rojo secured the victory shortly after and Nigeria's qualification was secured on the final whistle in Salvador, with Bosnia and Herzegovina running out 3-1 victors to eliminate Iran.

HALF-TIME: Edin Dzeko's strike is the only difference between the two sides as they head back into the tunnel for their half-time team talks. Both sides put in hard challenges and were sound defensively as chances were limited on both ends, barring Dzeko's goal, which beat several defenders in addition to the goalkeeper. With Argentina leading Nigeria 2-1 in the other game, Iran need to score at least 
twice to remain in contention for the Round of 16.

The result sends Bosnia and Herzegovina home from their first World Cup adventure with a win, while Iran leave Brazil at least having scored a goal. Nigeria, despite their 3-2 loss to Argentina will join La Albiceleste in the Round of 16 from Group F.
