Kuyt should not even be in the XI. Shocking player. He's hardly shocking. Total overreaction. A bit OTT I'll admit that. Shocking first touch, no technique what so ever. Decent finisher though. He's the typical huff and puff player. The type of player that would be both loved and hated by our fans. Aye, the Dutch Jimmy Milner. Bendtner should've scored there btw.

Missing Robben. VDV wants to cut inside and play number 10 with Sneider and well Kuyt is just Kuyt.

I Robin Van Persie. Lush technique.

Wonder if Mr. Roeder is there doing some scouting.

Looks a lush day in Jo'burg like.

Aye, its certainly catchy like.

Away first, boxing and last day I'd suspect.

Not so good for England that they almost got relegated this season though. Surley Green and Upson have been two of their better players. Haven't watched so many PL matches last season, though. Not noticeably tbh. Only Parker and Diamanti have impressed me for WHU this past season.

Liking all three of them.

Urgh the thought of one touch, hoof Carragher playing any more minutes in this tournament makes me feel sick.

I reckon we might get a semi-on. Need to win the group though.

How can you tell with that hideous cacophony going on? There are fuck all fans from the actual countries there for a lot of games. You can tell during the anthems.

I know you obviously don't live there but is there any big screens likely to be up in Copenhagen? http://www.facebook.com/VisitCopenhagen You can watch the matches on big screen at Pub & Sport bar, The Globe bar, O'Leary's bar, Public House Gastropub, Park Cafe, and from 11 June there will be a large World Cup beach bar with room for 5,000 people at Strandbar Ofelia on the square outside the Royal Playhouse (just walk to the end of Nyhavn) Thanks. Get myself down to watch Denmark v Cameroon when I'm there me thinks.

Utter drivel. Just because a player doesn't cut it in England doesn't make them s***. Dezzie, I guess you missed this bit "The Brazil squad is poor by its normal standard" Can you find a poorer Brazil W/C squad? But it's often the collective not the sum of the parts. The Brazil squad in 2006 was packed full of 'star' players and they flopped terribly. This team doesn't have as many star players on paper but as a team and a unit they are one of the best Brazil teams in a long time. Dunga has won everything in his path. Spot on Swelly. I have watched Brazil in every qualifying game that has been a SKY. They still have that sparkle & passing that only they can do at times. But it is surreal seeing some of the names in that squad & how there time in PL went. I went to one

Makes up for what it is an appalling lack of atmosphere at some games. France v Uruguay would've been silent without them.

Screen was shit n all. Canny few people getting lifted towards the end like.

Doubt it. North Korea are arguably the physically fittest team in the tournament and will have 10 men behind the ball. Brazil's play relies on playing on the break and they wont be able to do that against the Norks. Oh they'll win, definitely, but I highly doubt it will be a rout.

One down, one to go.

It'll be interesting to see how the US play against them. Lower level of opposition but how much of last night was the fact it was a massive game for them against us? Very evenly matched IMO. Can see it being a turgid match like.

Still reckon Slovenia will go through.

Dunno like, Khodeira hasn't done anything out of the ordinary and he is his replacement. Formation and tactics would have changed though? Nah don't think so. Ballack isn't so much of his old barnstorming self these days for Jormany.

Not been marked like which helps. Looked very assured though. Living up to the hype so far.
