The Official Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup thread

Teams are in for the first game of the day. 5pm kick offs on a weekday are a pain. Sky Plus, the answer to all of life's problems.

Germany
Neuer, Howedes, Hummels, Khedira, Ozil, Muller, Lahm (c), Mertesacker, Kroos, Gotze, Boateng

Portugal
Patricio, Alves, Pepe, Veloso, Coentrao, Ronaldo (c), Moutinho, Almeida, Meireles, Nani, Pereira

Should be a good game. Surely Germany will be too strong for a team with Meireles and Nani in it?

Portugal are more like a mid ranking club team with an Allstar

The RTE boys are good fun,calling Meireles top class despite spending a few years calling him useless with Liverpool and Chelsea.

Is that a bullet hole in the glass over Cannavaro's left shoulder.

[AZOffaly]

Is this on ITV? If so, then no, I believe rioters threw stones at the window there a few days ago. Maybe they've done it again.

I presume that's a piss take Unless the Brazilian rioters have identified a kindred spirit in Mayfield.

One of the Portugal lads looks to have just come off the dirty protest.

[laoislad]

What a miss!

[laoislad]

Pepe does a Pepe.
What a toolbag.

[From the Bunker]

Pepe is not the cleanest of players, but that was a harsh red?

[Captain Obvious]

Very harsh red. The Germans laying down a marker in this game.

[laoislad]

Pepe is not the cleanest of players, but that was a harsh red?

He deserved it for being stupid enough for putting himself in the position where he gave the Ref a decision.
He was foolish to put his head in.

[beer baron]

Harsh red? Stupid red more like,what a clown Pepe is

[Kidder81]

Harsh red? Stupid red more like,what a clown Pepe is

Mullers play acting was a disgrace too

[beer baron]

It sure was.
