A lot of people will be avoiding hearing results during the day. Like the 6 Nations for egg chasers, we should have a thread where we can discuss games results etc throughout the competition.

Let's not spoil it for the workers and keep spoilers to this one....just an idea.

Stirring stuff so far.

SA anthem excellent.

I'd so love to be in that Mexican side now. They were really psyched up in the tunnel.

Those bloody Vuvuzelas... 🙂

Only at half time - not during the match. They never do for Champs League either.

I think Bafana are going to struggle to get a foothold in this game. They look a bit naïve 😐

It's not looking good for the hosts. Great shame if they don't perform well above their ranking tbh.

How long before someone writes a bit of software to block out that noise when viewing on your computer?

I thought the game started at 11.30 not 11 😳

I guess it meant I had a few more minutes to finish some work and can now enjoy the rest of the day, not being in gainful employment right now 😀

SA 1 Mex 0

Listening on BBC, sounds like it totally against the run of the ball. Sounds like Mex have missed a fist full of chances

But full marks to South Korea,

I thought they played well and deserved the win, biggest surprise to me was that they did not score more ....

Great stuff, enjoying this tournament already 8)

What I really want now is for Nigeria to stuff the Argies - Come on you Super Eagles.

Well yesterday didn't really get off to a good start for me. I sat down at a bar to watch France Uraguay and some bloke clocked my accent asking for a beer. He turned around, and asked if I was supporting France. I said not, and that I was English. I then proceeded to explain at length how I was supporting Uruguay for this match since France really cheated against Ireland, and how Brits will often support other British teams. I said France were a terrible team and just how awful they were.

He then proceeded to point out that he wasn't Brazilian as I had thought but French 😳

But he was a nice enough chap, and there with another French lass who was a nurse, and as he asked me to join them, I did an about face, and with a great deal of digging ended up supporting France and enjoying the game. Allez les Bleus!

Looking forward to seeing Nigeria v Argentina. Hope it's a belter though I suspect Nigeria will be very cagey.

Thought the French were disappointing last night. Shame really as they're one of the teams that often really contributes to a great World Cup. There's chance for them to improve but it looks like they're more likely to implode through petty squabbling.

I was just wondering if you guys are getting the same video footage as we are. This being Brazil, I can only but think we are getting close-up footage of the crowd, and certain individuals in the crowd, from a Brazilian cameraman 😯 None of the this BBC nonsense with punters in a multimillion pound specially built studio - just voiceovers and video footage 🙂

Another game grinding to a close. Really haven't seen anything to impress so far.

EDIT: Man of the match was Nigerian keeper for me.

The thing that stands out about this world cup so far is how good the referees have been.

Caught one match so far. The bloody French one. D'oh! Wedding reception for one of the missus' colleagues tonight. D'OH!!!

Mind you I have received some very rash promises in return for my loyalty.
