I don't think they invested too much in the sound system but what the heck it's the usual fayre and enjoying the mix of high tech and naff dancers. Can't all be as good as London 2012.

At least they can play football!

I was thinking it would be a bit more.. Well carnival themed I guess! Instead various singers are emerging unconvincingly from an illuminated Terry's Chocolate Orange

De Sciglio is out of match against us. Shame for football and him, but another advantage to England. No Rossi, Montolivo, El Sharaawy, De Sciglio.

Anyone watching ITV at the moment? Definitely a bullet hole in the glass behind Cannavaro's head in the studio overlooking Copacabana beach. Bit worrying.

People were pelting it with rocks

ITV really have some poor commentators, Matterface and Carlisle are an awful combo

How about this scenario that sees Spain knocked out? It's all plausible until Chile vs Netherlands. Even that might come off though...

Netherlands 1-0 Australia
Chile 0-1 Spain
Spain 1-0 Australia
Chile 1-0 Netherlands

We could also see a scenario with Spain and Chile going through and the Dutch going out.

Yep, that group is wide open. Hoping for more of the same in the remaining games.

That's the fourth victory from behind in this World Cup so far (with only 8 games played). No draws so far either.

Brazil 0-1 Croatia -> Brazil 3-1 Croatia
Mexico 1-0 Cameroon
Spain 1-0 Netherlands -> Spain 1-5 Netherlands
Chile 3-1 Australia
Colombia 3-0 Greece
Uruguay 1-0 Costa Rica -> Uruguay 1-3 Costa Rica
England 1-2 Italy
Ivory Coast 0-1 Japan -> Ivory Coast 2-1 Japan

Following the pattern, the next come-from-behind win will come in the Argentina-Bosnia match tomorrow night.
