I know nothing about football but from the 5 mins i watched at start of 2nd half we'd be lucky to make it out of group stages...
No sexist offense or anything intended but seen 5 mins of the womens football yesterday and i've seen better pub sides playing down field..... is that seriously a national team!? Sweden were just as bad if not worse....

Lol GB (nice change from lol England)
I wasn't going to watch with no Beckham but I managed the second half and what a bore. So Pearce called up Giggs, Richards and Bellamy to win.... O rly?!?
I'll watch the Brazil and Argentina games though, they look good.

Richards inclusion as one of the overs is even more embarrassing than the people protesting over his exclusion from the Euro 2012 squad 
Buckland looks good though!

Very disappointed tonight.
Neymar didn't live up to the hype, first half was basically him doing meaningless tricks and then getting tackled by midfield enforcers like Cleverly (meanwhile worst commentary team ever jizzing all over his amazing skill). Also disgraceful diving, this kid is a real piece of work, from what I've seen so far he is the worst loser I've ever seen in football, he just can't stand being tackled, always faking injuries after losing possession.
Commentary was awful, Mark Bright gets worse with age if anything, struggles to get his words out, always bumming players and just says the really obvious things, no insight into the game like you would get from say Big Ron or even Andy Townsend.

Someone must have Bunged the Brazil team not to score in the second half.

All the people who were unlucky enough to get tickets through the lottery.
You don't have to buy it if you get it do you?

Thought you had to apply using a debit/credit card so if you got a ticket you were immediately charged.
I'm guessing you could cancel afterwards since you had no idea what you'd actually be getting. Would be a bit silly otherwise?
The tournament starts today at 12:00 with Honduras vs Morocco.
The choice for this afternoon will be Spain vs Japan at 14:45.
