DHAKA: It can be said that ‘a manic Monday’ with hosts Brazil, Mexico and Croatia all vying for a last-16 berth in the final round of Group A matches on the day 12.

There are four matches in this day.

At 10:00pm Netherlands-Chile and Australia-Spain will face each others while Cameroon-Brazil and Croatia-Mexico matches will be held on 2:00am.

Specialists though thinking that Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazil should be safe on this day, needing just a draw to go through against eliminated Cameroon, although victory would guarantee them top spot.

They have four points, as do Mexico, who are involved in the tastier-looking contest against Croatia out in Recife.

A win for Croatia will see them through; a draw and Mexico are definitely into the next phase - with the European side joining them in the knockout round if Brazil lose.

It is also the final chapter in the Group B saga - the Netherlands and Chile have a 100% record and are already through. They both fight it out in Sao Paulo, with Chile needing to beat the Dutch to finish top and probably avoid a second-round meeting with Brazil.

In the other match, Australia who were valiant against both qualifiers face plucky minnows... Spain for the wooden spoon.
