game at 2100

For some reason just seeing this written down has got me really bloody excited.

The Greatest Show On Earth (TM) is less than 8 hours away.

I'll take the Totp as well

Another 3-0 here

[6ft Kerplunk]

1-0 Brazil, last minute iffy penalty.

With Fred, Victor and Bernard in their squad I can't help but think Brazil have run out of decent nicknames.

I like Jo as a nickname but mainly because whenever I hear his name I think of the Insprial Carpets song. If they didn't then the Man City fans should be ashamed that they didn't change the lyrics for him.

Winning start for the hosts, 3-1

[Ascotexgunner]

Im going for a draw 0-0 or 1-1 possibly and the rioting in the streets will begin.

[Sanguine]

The Brazil national anthem is a shambles.

I'll go 3-1 to the hosts.

[Royal Ginger]

...and THAT'S how you do an anthem. Take note Rooney & co.

[jd82]

You can't sing an anthem like GSTH with the same gusto without looking like an escaped mental patient.

[6ft Kerplunk]

Nice of ITV to promptly kill the atmosphere by going to an ad break. Idiots.

[soggy biscuit]

I am going 3-0 'zil

[Whore Jackie]

How big is ITV's score/clock.

[Ouroboros]

Fantastic start from Croatia.

[Ouroboros]

Actual LOL.

[Ian Royal]

Brilliant. Brazil so sloppy in midfield and zero penetration. Croatia look deadly on the break and should be 2-0 up, not just the 1-0. It's just simple hit the byline and cross though. Brazil really ought to be able to defend it.

Croatia looking much more incisive.
