Welcome to day two of the World Cup

Good morning to anyone just joining us for the second day of the World Cup. My name is Frances Howe and I’m joined by my colleagues Vince Rugari and Nick Ralston who are in Canada ahead of the Socceroo’s debut tomorrow.

Earlier this morning hosts Canada drew 1-1 against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first time they’ve ever not lost a World Cup match since making their debut in 1986. Later on, we’ll be with you play-by-play as our American hosts play Paraguay in Los Angeles.

In the meantime, here are some stories you can read to catch you up to speed:

• If you only read one thing today, make it Vince Rugari’s Good Weekend profile of Socceroos young talent Nestory Irankunda. As Vince writes, if you’ve never heard Irankunda’s name before, now is the time to learn.
• Have a go at picking your winner with our World Cup predictor.
• In case you missed it: Coach Tony Popovic has signed a short-term contract extension that sets up a possible tilt at silverware with the Socceroos at next year’s Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia. Read the full story from Vince here.
