What's with players wearing gaffer tape on their body? Buffon got it on back of neck, ballotelli on his back etc.

The closing ceremony on the red button is pretty neat

I'm surprised they didn't reserve BBC HD channel for the ceremony to be broadcast in HD.

It's Kinesio Tape, designed to stabalise joints and ease strain. I was recommended to wear it by my physio when returning from injury - does make a difference.

Are both channels showing this?

Urgh, Lauro on BBC, Andy Townsend on ITV, can't win.

At least we won't have the commentators fellating Ronaldo tonight.

 

[Azza]

Lawro is at it early tonight.
