Defending champions Spain play the Netherlands in rematch of South African final
From this morning's FIFA World Cup opener,
Hosts Brazil came from behind to open the tournaments with a 3-1 victory against Croatia in Sao Paulo.
Croatia took a shock lead early in the first half thanks to a history-making own goal from Brazil's defender Marcelo.
However, Brazil's poster boy Neymar leveled the score 11 minutes later.
Neymar then kicked in a penalty.
In injury time in the second half, Oscar scored the final goal of the match to secure the 3-1 victory and three points in Group A.
After the match, Croatian players and Media condemned the referee for a call they say was a game-changer.
It was the call that resulted in Neymar's penalty goal.
But one fan says his country has always had bad luck and it's better to look forward to the matches that are still coming.
"Croatia played a good game, the referee was a little bit bad on the side of Brazil but we lost what can you say. We have two games against Cameroon and Mexico we hope for the best."
There are three matches coming up early tomorrow morning.
At midnight Beijing time, Mexico will play Cameroon in another Group A match.
Three hours later, in Group B, defending champions Spain will take on the Netherlands in a rerun of the 2010 South African World Cup final.
And at 6 am, lowest seed Australia enters the tournament against South American dark horses Chile in the day's other Group B match.
Europe's "best young manager" Roberto Martinez signs new contract with Everton
Off the pitch in club football news,
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has signed a new five year contract with the English Premier League side.
The Spaniard joined Everton last summer and guided the team to a fifth-place finish this past season.
Everton's tally of 72 points was their highest ever in the Premier League as they secured a place in Europe for the first time since 2010.
Upon signing the new contract, Everton chairman Bill Kenwright called Martinez the best young manager in Europe.
Also in the EPL,
Chelsea has signed Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas for an undisclosed term.
27-year-old Fabregas had previously been with Premier League side Arsenal before going back to his home country three years ago.
San Antonio take a 3-1 lead in the finals as Tim Duncan break records to claim a double honour
Moving onto the NBA finals,
Kawhi Leonard continued his momentum, scoring 20 points and grabbing 14 rebounds to help the San Antonio Spurs rout the Miami Heat again, winning 107-86 at American Airlines Arena.
The 21 point slaughter has almost assured the Spurs of this year's championship as they now hold a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals.
It was also a history making night for Spurs forward Tim Duncan, who had a double double, 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Duncan passed Magic Johnson for the most double-doubles in NBA Playoff history with 158.
He also played 31 minutes and passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most playoff minutes played.
But the 38-year-old said he would rather celebrate his accomplishments after his team earns one more win.
"I can appreciate you saying the names and having passed them in anything. It's an honour to be in that position. Having won helps, obviously, but the focus is winning one more and once that one more is done then I can look back and say, 'Hey, that's truly an honour.'"
LeBron James led the Miami Heat with 28 points and 8 rebounds on the night.
The Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship with a victory at home in Game 5 on Sunday when court switches back to San Antonio.
