Confederations Cup Social Diary: Cahill honoured as Ronaldo posing takes a weird turn

With the Confederations Cup group stage drawing to a close, Sunday was a time for anxious waits for some players and scenes of celebration for others.

Julian Draxler warmed up for Germany against Cameroon by wishing a happy Eid to his Muslim Instagram followers, while trying a smouldering stare on for size.

As Tim Cahill prepared for his 100th Australia appearance, team-mate Mitchell Duke led the tributes to the record-breaking former Everton star.

 

Nani sent a special message to his son after scoring Portugal's fourth goal in the closing stages of their win over New Zealand.
