Grrr shame Brazil arent playing any of their games in London as i would have definitely went to see them.

Cant really be bothered to travel to Wales or up north to see them...so TV it is

I'm going to Cardiff on the 1st. Should be good games, Switzerland won the U17 championship 3 years ago so I'd hope their Olympic team should be decent and Mexico have a decent pedigree in football. Followed by of course Team GB against Uruguay.

I'm going to Newcastle to watch Spain vs Hondouras and Japan vs Morocco. Pretty excited really. £30 for two games is a great deal. Shame it costs a fortune to get there!

Nice one Sim.

I'm a bit gutted that there's no decent matches at Coventry in the first stage.

Are we chatting about tonights mauling in here?

I don't see why not as it keeps all the mens football in one place.

 

[Cosimo]

Still no team news, must be coming out half an hour before the game.

 

[Cosimo]

Neymar, Hulk and Oscar starting for Brazil. We all know who will win, the question is by how much?
