What they're saying

"
It's the ultimate shop window: a World Cup with 48 teams - all packed with players eager to show what they can do on the biggest stage. It's no secret that Liverpool are admirers of Yan Diomande and the 19-year-old winger made a brilliant start to the World Cup with a player-of-the-match display for Ivory Coast in their 1-0 win over Ecuador.
