World Cup Updates: Today Is About Positioning. The Stars Come Out Later.

GOAL! Cameroon strikes first: Nicolas N’Koulou got the first touch off a corner kick and headed it to Jean-Charles Castelletto, who tapped it in.

Serbia and Cameroon, both losers in their first group matches, have kicked off in Monday’s first game, and both have a tough road to catch up to Brazil and Switzerland in Group G. A loss today would all but end hopes of advancing, while a draw would help little. A win, though, could put either team in position to claim a spot in the Round of 16 with another win on Friday.

Less than a minute into the game, Aleksandar Mitrovic, the Fulham striker and all-time leading scorer for Serbia, went down after an awkward landing on his ankle.
