I actually want the Welsh (and English supporting act) to dump the Uruguayans out of the competition. I can't stand the cheating little jarg Paraguayan pricks.

there you go, our common enemy is our firend or whatever, the welsh are deffo running the show..

Despite Sturridge and Sinclair (my pick) both scoring, there is no doubt the Welsh lads are our best players.

Ramsey looks good. Bellamy runs. Giggs is class (but gets knackered quick). Oh for Gareth Bale. You have to say he'd shred most of these teams.

Ah well, looking alright so far. Hope Micah Richards smashes Suarez all over the show.

I like Ramsey, Arsenal fans cannot stand him apparently. I'd happily have him at Goodison

Boxing now for another hour or so. I've loved watching the footie (men and womens), volleyball, handball and more but the boxing has been my favourite. Because there's only 3 rounds there's more chance of boxers properly going for it. It's exciting when they're down on points in the last round because they occasionally go mental as they have nothing to lose (like Gausha yesterday).

Is right GB and congrats, Honduras!

Hope Brazil win the tournament though. Watched them live today and apart from the fact their football is brilliant, the women.... wow. It was hard to keep my eyes on the pitch at times. Easily the finest chicks on the planet and they're as passionate about footy as the men ffs. I am smitten. (No pics though, to my immense frustration)

They will brutally violate everyone at WC 2014 with a full strength side.

First up it seemed like tons of Kiwis then it all went a bit Tahrir, wass really hoping someone had one of those flute type things in their lot to send it Casbahish. Then you realised that the place was rammed with Brazilians.
Great atmosphere tbh. chilly though.

Woops forgot to post.

Yeah the Irish lad was ace first two rounds and then seemingly got battered in the third round but somehow still won the round... easily won overall though. The Irish fighters have all been ace.

The Americans though, they've all looked incredibly tenacious and I think they'll be taking a lot of medals from the sport.

Whoever Don King says wins, wins (oh wait, that is professional boxing).

And Iraq's only boxer goes out fighting... *ahem

To be fair his South African opponent had a massive height/reach advantage.
