FIFA World Cup 2010

Yeh why they set these benchmarks in the world cup I don't know. Never even used to be this bad.

btw, how do you watch world cup on iphone? Is it an app or you just on the bbc/itv web siteS?

for the bbc games I've been using tvcatchup.com (store it on your homepage and) it acts as though its an app keeping you logged in etc.
For the itv games I've downloaded the ITV football app and watch it though that it takes you to itv.iphone.com I think but both work fine now.

I normally listen to music too so it doesnt even look suspect that I've got the ear phones in

Portugal - Ronaldo throwing himself to the ground if an opponent comes within 10 feet of him - I so want Ivory Coast to beat them

[edit] Fantastic effort from New Zealand earlier to hold Slovakia too - well done to them for showing such spirit

disappointing so far. if this spirals down towards a dirty game, the portugese would get systematically sodomised. ronaldo was bricking it hard when he squared up with that ivory coast player trying to give it mouth.

i really hope ivory coast win!

The Brazilians are on their way. can't wait.

Well who'd've thunk it. 0-0 at half time.

Come on North Korea I say!!

North Korea played their skins off. I take my hat off to them. 2-1 is a cracking result.

Well we are 5 days in and frankly it's been shocking. Over cautious, lacking vision, no style just drivvel. The most exciting thing to happen so far is new Zealand equalizing in the last minute.

People are saying England played bad in their game but everyone has been playing poorly, even games that should have been a walk in the park and full of stylish play and goals have been fruitless and dull.

I hope once this first lot of games are out of the way everyone will get their arses in gear and hopefully we'll see more football being played. I've seen more action in a single premier league game than the whole tournament so far.

Anyway rant over.
enjoying HD coverage though

Knock out stages are where it hots up!

Nail hitting head moment for you speirs. The comment about more action in the prem is spot on.
