WORLD CUP DAILY: Europe's big guns fall the way of South America and Africa | Brazil survive | Diomande v Haaland

Tuesday’s World Cup Daily with Phil Egan has all the fallout from a dramatic night as two European giants crash out on penalties.

The Netherlands are dumped out by Morocco after an injury-time equaliser and a shootout full of misses, while Germany lose their first-ever World Cup shootout as Paraguay book their place in the last 16 — with Julian Nagelsmann’s future suddenly a talking point.

Brazil, meanwhile, survive a huge scare against Japan thanks to a stoppage-time Gabriel Martinelli winner — and Ben Symes reports from the chaos in The Camden in Dublin.

Plus, Philippe Auclair on Morocco’s rise, Brazil and Germany’s “long-term declines”, and tonight’s ties: Sweden v France, Ivory Coast v Norway, and Mexico v Ecuador.
