" MANAUS Hydro Flask 16 OZ Hydro Flask Coffee UK Sale , Brazil, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Mario Mandzukic scored twice on his return from suspension as Croatia eliminated 10-man Cameroon from the World Cup with a 4-0 victory on Wednesday night.
Ivica Olic opened the scoring in the Group A clash at the Arena Amazonia stadium with a powerful finish after Ivan Perisic's deft through ball.
Cameroon were reduced to 10 men late in the first half when Alexandre Song was shown a straight red card for a reckless right-handed swipe at Mandzukic.
Perisic scored his team's second after careering into the penalty area and drilling his shot past Charles Itandje.
Mandzukic's header made it 3-0 before the Bayern Munich forward doubled his tally with an easy tap-in.
The result ends Cameroon's hopes of advancing beyond the group stage in Brazil and extends their miserable recent record at the World Cup finals.
The Indomitable Lions have managed just one victory on football's grandest stage - a 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in 2002 - since they became the first African side to reach the tournament's last eight in 1990.
Croatia, meanwhile, still need to win their last group match against Mexico to be guaranteed a berth in the round of 16.
His team was boosted against Cameroon by the return of Mandzukic from suspension and Panathinaikos left-back Danijel Pranjic from an ankle injury.
In addition, captain Luka Modric was declared fit on the eve of the game after being in doubt with a foot injury.
Cameroon were without striker Samuel Eto'o, who failed to recover in time from a knee injury.
The managers of both teams promised to approach the match with an attacking mindset Hydro Flask 10 OZ Wine Tumbler UK Sale , and they lived up to their word.
But it was Cameroon who looked most dangerous early with Vincent Aboubakar, in particular, troubling Croatia's defence in the opening minutes.
The FC Lorient striker had an angled shot blocked in the second minute and then another strike cleared off the line.
He also showed deft dribbling skills, drawing a foul from Brazilian-born defender Jorge Sammir on the edge of the penalty box.
But the African outfit failed to capitalize on their early momentum. And it didn't take long for Croatia to make them pay.
The first blow came after Cameroon captain Nicolas Nkoulou failed to clear a Darijo Srna cross from the right.
Cameroon's frustration spilled over when Barcelona midfielder Song was dismissed for lashing out at Mandzukic.
It did not get any better for Volker Finke's side after the halftime break.
Perisic doubled the Croatians' lead with a barnstorming run into the area after intercepting a clearance and then coolly slotting past Itandje.
Mandzukic should have made it 3-0 a minute later but sprayed his shot wide with only the goalkeeper to beat.
The 28-year-old made amends by netting twice in quick succession.
The first came when, unmarked, he met a corner with a downward header. He added another from point-blank range after Itandje had parried away Eduardo's long-range effort.

NEW YORK Hydro Flask Hydration Standard Mouth UK Sale , July 25 (Xinhua) -- New York City's transportation authority unveiled a nearly 1-billion-U.S.-dollar emergency subway repair plan Tuesday, promising to put the brake on nightmarish delays and derailments within one year.
"The subway system is no doubt in distress and we're here for solutions," said Joseph J. Lhota, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) at the MTA headquarters Tuesday as he issued an immediate subway stabilization plan of 836 million dollars that includes sweeping Hydro Flask 40 OZ Wide Mouth UK Sale , repairing and cleaning of subway trains and stations within the next year.
The new measures amount to the first phase of upgrading and modernizing the problem-plagued 113-year-old subway.
Phase Two, which will cost about 8 billion dollars, will "get it out of the late 19th century and get it into the 21st century quickly," Lhota said.
Lhota asked New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to help raise funds for the plan and he suggested the city and the state split the cost evenly.
Blasio Hydro Flask 32 OZ Wide Mouth UK Sale , who has resisted pouring money into the subway since the state runs the system, called Lhota's plan an "important first step" in a news conference at the City Hall subway station Tuesday evening but he refused to commit more city money to support it.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said Lhota's plan was "substantive and realistic" and he agreed to split the cost with the city.
