It's also available streaming on the BBC site for anyone at work who fancies a bit of a skive.

Jesus if those strawberry floating horns are going to be prominent throughout the entire tournament I'm going to be well pissed.

They're annoying enough for me to actually stop watching.

Comedy defending from Egypt there.

[Ginga]

They really do come across as a simple folk. They spend the majority of the match dancing, not watching the game and blowing those strawberry floating horns like their life depends on it, the stadiums are lucky to be half full and their parks are a strawberry floating mess with rutted patches in one area and too long in others.

I can't wait for next year

It really was.

At least the horns aren't quite so bad today, it was terrible trying to watch the Spain game the other day.

[Zellery]

Egypt equalise!

[sw26]

1-1. Game on.

More comedy defending. It is Brazil after all.

Well normally I'd agree, but the commentator just said it's their first goal conceded after eight clean sheets.

I quite like the airhorn things, sounds like a swarm of wasps/bees in the stadium.

[Irene Demova]

GRR hurry up red button

[sw26]

2-1 Brazil. This game is awesome.

[Mafro]

How the strawberry float did that get past everyone and the keeper

[Ginga]

I really do like Fabiano.

As I said before, it's not too bad today but the Spain game last night was awful.

2-1 now, goalfest inc.

That pitch in particular does look slow. Obviously everything's going to be better for the World Cup. I'd much rather have people who are actually enjoying themselves than in England where everyone's sat down, quietly watching and leaves after 60 minutes if their teams aren't doing well. Much more passionate here.

Elano- gets in brazil but can't get in england

I'm also not sure if they're passionate - possibly just happy to be out of their huts.

Blowing strawberry floating annoying horns that sound like wasps isn't passion.

Zellery, it's not like they're going to make up chants for two teams they have no relation to. They're just enjoying the occasion.

[Mafro]

I'm too scared to go for a gooseberry fool incase I miss another goal.
