Already the controversy begins with the disputed Brazilian penalty. It was vital Brazil won and got the tournament off to a good start. How many more years will it take before technology is used to help the referee? We are told 2 billion people watched a referee make the wrong decision. That can't help the sport. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27827271 |

According to the Five Live reporter in Rio this morning, the referee was "inept" - in favour of Brazil most of the time. Despite Nicky Campbell in the studio suggesting he might tone down his comment, the reporter stood his ground, even describing the ref as a 'homer'. Should we start another match fixing thread?  |

Wow, got on here at last, must be a busy thread. Big one tonight - c'mon the boys! If we can play with the sort of steely determination and proactive guile that saw us demolish a world super power in World War Two we could hammer these boys, and that's the sort of spirit we need to pull this one off.
Come on Japan, 11 o'clock kick off.

So long England, you worthless bums. Anybody else up for stoning them to death on their return? It's quite popular in some parts of the world.

Well that was over quickly, at least. Now, back to the cricket.

This paragraph from The Guardian makes England's world cup set-up sound very much like the bloated bubble of unreality that Flower created around the team that lost the ASshes so ineptly:
"They have a 72-strong entourage from the Football Association including a psychiatrist, nutritionists, a turf specialist, a cook and at least one guy whose job seems to be to spray the players with water when they start overheating. They have industrial fans, heat chambers and individually tailored recovery drinks after inviting scientists from Loughborough University to study their sweat patterns."
