Ghana run Germany Klose

Miroslav Klose became the joint-record goalscorer in World Cup history as he helped rescue a point for Germany in a 2-2 draw against Ghana.

It was expected to be a routine win for Germany and the scoreline seemed to be going as per the script when Mario Gotze headed onto his knee to score from Thomas Muller's cross after 51 minutes.

Ghana, who endeared themselves to the neutrals by battling their way to the quarter finals in 2010, hit back soon after with two goals in nine minutes. Harrison Afful crossed for Andre Ayew to head home his second goal in two games. Sulley Muntari then pounced on a loose ball before releasing Asamoah Gyan the coolly slot the ball beyond Manuel Neuer in the Germany goal. The underdogs were in front and seemed to be more than holding their own in Fortaleza!

Klose had only been on the field two minutes when he got onto the end of Benedikt Howedes' header to prod the ball in from close range and write his name into the tournament's record books with his 15th World Cup goal. The striker also became only the third player in World Cup history to score in four different World Cups.

The Lazio man had a chance to snatch victory for Germany and to overtake Brazil's Ronaldo in the all-time goalscoring charts, but he dragged his effort wide. The spoils were shared, with Germany now top of the group and Ghana keeping alive their chances of progressing in Group G.

It was a real shame for this to be one of the few games I missed as, from what I'd been told and after seeing the highlights, this seemed like another truly great match. This World Cup has been immense with plenty of shocks and drama, and could arguably be the greatest World Cup of my lifetime, but England's early exit taints that slightly.

Although there was no shock with who the points went to in the next match, it was hugely surprising for Argentina to only beat Iran 1-0 and even more so that it took them until stoppage time to seal the win.

Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest player in the world, often impresses with his performances for Barcelona but some have previously questioned how he has done on the international stage. With two goals in two games in this summer's tournament maybe, just maybe, that is changing.

Iran came close to causing one of the shocks of the tournament and had penalty appeals turned down, with Ashkan Dejagah convinced he had been fouled in the box by Pablo Zabaleta. Dejagah had another chance to open the scoring but his header was superbly tipped over the bar by Sergio Romero. Romero had to be alert again to deny Reza Ghoochannejhad with a diving save as Iran pushed for a winner.

Iran kept more clean sheets in qualifying than any other team at the 2014 World Cup but to be keeping out one of the tournament favourites was even more to be proud of from Carlos Queiroz's men.

Just when the underdogs thought they had pulled off arguably the shock of the tournament, Messi curled in a sublime effort from outside the box to break Iranian hearts in second-half stoppage time. It was a cruel blow for Iran but they are not out of the tournament yet. If Queiroz's men can beat World Cup debutants Bosnia-Herzegovina in their final group game they could progress on goal difference, if Argentina get victory by enough goals against Nigeria.

Nigeria kept their World Cup hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnia-Herzegovina were keen to impress in their first ever World Cup and were unlucky not to have taken the lead when Miralem Pjanic set up Edin Dzeko to score, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. Replays suggest the Manchester City striker was clearly onside so Bosnia-Herzegovina would've felt very hard done by. Dzeko had another chance to break the deadlock, only to be denied by Nigeria goalkeeper Victor Enyeama.

To make matters worse their African opponents then took the lead. Emmanuel Emenike powered past his defender before setting up Peter Odemwingie to tap the ball beyond Asmir Begovic in the Bosnia goal. At least the two of them will be back sharing jokes later this summer when they return to training with Stoke!

Begovic produced further saves to keep his side in the game, but Bosnia couldn't make their chances count in their bid to find an equaliser. Dzeko headed straight at Enyeama before seeing another effort come off the goalkeeper's legs and onto a post. It really wasn't Dzeko's night!

Although England still have one game left to play, other sides are already starting to take focus for Three Lions fans. Whilst, we'd love our beloved nation to give us at least something to cheer about in the final game, we must move on! It is hard to know who is the underdog in our next game. We should be the favourites but, judging by the tournament so far, maybe we are in fact the underdogs against Costa Rica.

Despite our disappointment, it is still refreshing to see the likes of Costa Rica and Ghana causing upsets and from a neutral perspective this is still a great tournament. It would be rather fitting if an underdog was to win the competition but Brazil and Argentina are surely still the favourites, with Germany, Holland and France not too far behind.

Let the drama continue!

Come on the underdogs!
