Hull FC argued they could have been playing against 12 men when Fox stopped Briscoe playing the ball following a lightningbreak down the middle with 10 minutes left.
Namibia refused to kick for goal when handed a penalty and their enterprise was rewarded on the hour when Jacques Burger rounded off a lightningbreak from Ryan Witbooi to touch down.
Over in Germany, researchers unveiled a technique that harnesses the power of lightning to break up concrete into usable building materials and scientists at MIT built a tiny, caterpillar-size robot that can transform into almost any shape.
Soon after half-time it was all over as a lightning-quick Croatia break led to Mandzukic's header coming back off the post, hitting Given on the back of his head and -- unfortunately for the Ireland goalkeeper -- rolling into the net, though the Wolfsburg forward was given the goal.
