World Cup round-up: the rise of the machines; Messi miss

Another round-up of World Cup news from the first weekend of action with the machines ruling the roost in the game between France and Australia, and Lionel Messi having a boo-boo in his side’s surprise draw with Iceland. 

I was emptying my smoothie this morning, flicking through Instagram, when I came across a video from David Beckham talking about what it means to be a parent.

“The thing that you’re never prepared for,” said Beckham, “is the constant, never-ending worry you have as a parent.”

Man, what a good looking specimen.
