Argentina delighted off the pitch before baffling and amazing in equal measure on it in St Petersburg. Elsewhere there was art and darts.
Lionel Messi scored what could prove to be his last World Cup goal on a night of unforgettable drama in St Petersburg this week.

Locals here enjoyed Russia's shock penalty shoot-out win over Spain as you might expect, but a power cut nearly stopped the party before it had begun.
