The day's first pair of matches brought about one encounter that was a fight for the top spot in the group and one that meant a whole lot of nothing. This was the latter. Three matches for Australia saw them wear their home kit on all three occasions which is a shame, because the away was quite nice in its own right. Spain, on the other hand, wore three different kits for each of their three matches, giving their black and electricity away uniforms a run out.

The Netherlands finally had the chance to wear their sensational orange home strips as they secured top spot in Group B against Chile who, as the away side, were forced to wear their bland-by-comparison away kits.

Cameroon and Brazil both came to play in their home kits as Brazil looked to secure their spot in the knockout rounds and Cameroon looked to spoil the party. The match was certainly interesting, as were the kits on display. It's just a shame that Brazil didn't have a chance to wear their hooped away kits in the group stage.

As both Croatia and Mexico battled it out to make it out of Group A, both sides came out in their traditional home kits, albeit with a little bit of a twist on the part of Mexico. Due to a color clash with Croatia's white shorts, the Mexicans were forced to wear their home shirt with away shorts and socks to make sure that there were no questions about who was on which side. It was an interesting combination for Mexico, who ended up winning, and one that will hopefully see some more time in the future.

Australia's Matthew Spiranovic once again turned out in his favored pair of Atomic Orange Nike CTR360 boots as Australia were humbled in their final match of the 2014 World Cup.

Despite losing their match against the Netherlands, Chile and Mauricio Pinilla will continue to fight as they finished the group stage in second place. The forward played the match in the recently-released Umbro GeoFlare World Cup colorway that features a green-on-green camo pattern as the upper with purple accents and a big Umbro logo on the outside of the foot in the same color.

With so many players in this World Cup suiting up in Nike's Mercurial Vapor X and Superfly IV, Cameroon's Benjamin Moukandjo came to play in a relative throwback. The forward donned a pair of Nike's Mercurial Vapor IX in the launch Fireberry colorway that made its debut in January of 2013.

Mexico advanced to the next round of the tournament against Croatia thanks to a 3-1 with goals coming from Rafa Marquez, Javier Hernandez, and Andres Guardado. Those three wear Nike and adidas boots and thus are not that far out of the ordinary. Instead, the day's best boot spot went to Mexico's Carlos Pena (on the ground, number 21) who wore a pair of Concord S117CT which bear a pattern on the instep that is very reminiscent of Nike's Magista boot. These are definitely a strange one and not a boot that you'll see much outside of Mexico or the National Team.
