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.

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

Anyone watching the first game?

 

[Cosimo]

Cracker! Morocco score, 1-0.

 

[Cosimo]

Is it me or has BBC live text now gone?

 

[Cosimo]

Another chance missed by Japan.

 

[Cosimo]

Yet another opportunity gone.

 

[Cosimo]

So close again. I hope they don't nick a goal.

 

[Cosimo]

Lol some of us could have scored that one.

 

[Cosimo]

FT: Spain 0-1 Japan and a well-deserved win!

 

[Cosimo]

The Brazil game looks like it will be more exciting than the GB one.

Great Britain Team: Butland, Taylor, Bertrand, Rose, Richards, Caulker, Cleverley, Allen, Sturridge, Bellamy, Giggs.

Watching Brazil and GB at the same time. Should be two good games.

It's too nice an evening to be stuck inside watching football. I'll catch up with the highlights.
