So have the BBC done something with the sound? Because we can clearly hear a lot more of the crowd than usual.

Holy moly! Thank fuck finally someone puts in a decent whallop in this tournie!

Swiss defenders are putting in some class challenges.

Oooh, that was fantastic!

So many foul throws in this World Cup. Football doesn't seem to give a shit about them any more though

Clear tackle! ITV adamant its a pen! Fucking amateurs!

Was thinking that was a nice call from the referee... got this on mute, urgh ITV.

Barry starts against Algeria btw.

Fantastic... but at the same time I hope this doesn't mean Gerrard will be shifted to the left. Saw a very Liverpool-like Gerrard against the USA, wouldn't want to tinker with him.

What I don't quite get is the claim that the ball is lighter than ever, every time. When I was a kid the better balls were 'official size and weight' - don't they bother with that any more?

 

It's not an exact weight limit but a min and max weight, I think.

It is, but as Dave said they were always saying "lightest ever" even over a decade ago so they were surely stretching the limit already... probably been nowhere left to go for a while.

Great WC for the Asian teams so far.

 

Except for Australia.

 

 

They qualified through the Asia thingie this time... yeah, crappy joke

They could keep possession with a series of basic passes and very simple movement. Motorways ahead unfortunately.

Argh... so wished you'd said Autobahns there!

Great WC for the Asian teams so far.

Except for Australia.

Seeing players wear gloves at a world cup is very strange.

Edit: Gol!

Or you're invited to dinner at a friend's place and there was this twat you didn't know at the table who was blowing a fucking vuvuzela all evening.

It will be quite ridiculous if after all the fears regarding things being ready on time and the competition running smoothly, that the vuvuzelas will be what spoils everything.

That's what is so insane about it, they have spent years wanting a World Cup, spent years preparing for it, spending so much money and time building new grounds, facilities, revamping whole cities etc etc etc

... and it's a stupid mass produced plastic horn that is ruining part of the experience.

And off we fucking go again.

Pretty sure I'd not want TT to talk for the whole anti-vuvu cause, but:

That's what football means to her, blow something as loud as possible and need workman earphones so she doesn't go deaf but the rest of the crowd can go fuk themselves.

That Paraguayan really hurt his foot kicking that ball like that!

Let's just all cut our losses and move the World Cup somewhere else now.

Did I just hear on of the Paraguay players was shot in the head?

He got better!

Italy have by far the best National Anthem in the world.

It's not bad. Can't beat Brazil's though.

I don't know if I can be arsed watching the game tonight because of these shit horns.

Watched Hot Tub Time Machine earlier with the game on mute in the background. Enjoyable experience.

Honda's put Japan in the driving seat !

Hahaha... what a typical Kuyt goal that was!

I love the constant argument that people should just use the mute button.

Yeah, we're all going to watch the World Cup on mute

Van Persie telling the ref he couldn't hear... good man
