Brazil 2-1 North Korea (Group G)

On the FIFA website, it shows many of these NK players playing their club football at "April 25". Is that really a team?

Yeah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.25_Sports_Group

It is a very odd name for a football team that.

Let the latest drab match begin then...

I've been listening to the sounds of vuvuzelas all day People here are getting in the mood for another World Cup! Lots of Brazilian flags everywhere, streets painted green and yellow, aaah I love it! Gonna watch the game with my neighbour at his house, hopefully when I'm back we will be talking about a great win. BRASIL EEEEEOOOOO

Pre-Game is starting in the US. This SA2010 coverage isn't bad, and I love that Steve McMananman is part of the US commentary, but it is really funny how little ESPN knows about football in general when we try to cover it without any foreign help.

I think the actual name is 4.25 but it is due to events that happened on April 25th.

Come on Brazil!

I work with a Brazilian girl mate and she came into work today with all the 'Brasil' stuff on. 

i dont think this Brazil side looks too impressive bar a few players, really don't get how they can be ranked number 1

Just about time for kickoff. The bet is Brazil -2.5. Joga Bonito.

Player for North Korea crying during the anthem?

Coldest ever WC game apparently

They've got his family hostage back home.

Actually looking forward to seeing North Korea more than Brazil.

I've said it once, I've said it twice, and I'll say it again... F***ing Tildsley

I've seen more skill in the first 2 minutes here than all of the WC games put together.

As am I. We know what to expect from Brazil. North Korea hasn't been in a world cup since 1966 I believe. It'll be interesting to see what they have to offer.

Any corners come in along the ground, the Koreans will be ready to stick their head on it judging by their training regime.

I was just thinking that myself!! Seriously!

So er.....where's Lucas? 

Over/Under on how many North Korea jokes will be made over the course of this game? I'm setting the line at 30.

I'd prefer to enjoy the football myself like?

Not around here mate. We are fans of football, first and foremost.

They don't actually look that bad and showing more adventure than some of the bigger named nations in the competitiion.
