Notes
  1. The South Africa v Gambia match was delayed from the original kick-off time of 15:00 local time due to late arrival of officials.[4]
gollark: I've looked at the image, and it doesn't seem to do anything special if viewed. I initially thought it was an animated PNG or something, but it shows as a normal PNG to everything.
