Great Britain vs. Brazil - BBC1 Tonight

[Frutos]

Anyone else tuning in?

 

[element]

Can someone answer a query re: Olympic footy?

How did the teams qualify?

I see Argentina won in 2004 and 2008, but no sign of them here?

Nope going out, hope it all goes well though but it'll be a tough test, got a bad feeling we'll concede 4/5.

 

[Frutos]

GB Lineup: Steele, Richards, Tomkins, Taylor, Bertrand, Giggs, Cleverley, Allen, Rose, Bellamy, Sturridge

Why would anyone watch this?

We're not long out of a real tournament.

We're a week away from 'the greatest show on earth'.

Cricket, cycling & golf are all in their pomp.

Anyone with any sense would be watching ITV4, now.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Gaby Logan, Garth Crooks and Robbie Savage - so we're in for an evening of penetrating analysis then.

Because maybe people actually enjoy watching football...

Just a thought.

Really looking forward to this. I'll be there when they play at Old Trafford next week!

If we start to get dicked by a decent brasil side, how long before the chant " there's only one david beckham" goes up?

Certainly it has already started in the Wilcock household.

Christ that interview with Stuart Pearce was painful YOU KNOW all I heard was YOU KNOW every other word YOU KNOW.

 

[vegster]

The whole Olympic footy tournament is pathetic, only 16 teams ? wassitallabaaat ? was there some kind of qualifiers or were the teams drawn by lots ? or was it sorted via FIFA brown envelopes.... and, where are the Germans ?

Doctor: 'Next!...'

Maybe some people either don't like cycling, or have already seen the result (Cav won the stage, Wiggins still leads overall if anyone was wondering)?

I would but I watched it earlier YOU KNOW.

Giggs not singing the anthem ?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Welsh not singing OUR national anthem.....

Spot on.

Looking at how strong the Brazil team and the Spain squad is, I think the England players from Euro 2012 should have been picked.

Luckily it wasn't a joint interview with Beckham, he famously, has used the quite remarkable " You Know, You know " double in interviews before.

 

[Ernest]

WHY are they playing the ENGLISH national ANTHEM when it IS GB ?

The Euros only had 16 as well.
