As you would expect...

BBC1 is reporting the usual suspects starting: Robbo, Neville, Rio, Terry, Cashley, Becks, Gerrard, Lamps, Joe Cole, Owen, and Crouch.

Hanson and Ian Wrong, Wrong, Wrong are still whinging on and on about the inclusion of Theo. Hanson because he's a moany sod. Ian might have another agenda, mind.

Interview with Acuna from Paraguay..."Have you ever seen anyone like Crouch?"

Acuna - "Sure, in the NBA!" Quality yucks there.

Santa Cruz and his gammy knee to start for Paraguay.

Freddie Flintoff is being interviewed by Ray Stubbs and he is pissed out of his mind. Slurring and staggaring and wearing shades because it's too bloody bright. And he's incomprehensible. Oh magic, he's just screamed "Go on England" into the camera and that's the end of that chat. Lineker muses, "Looks like the party's already started there" and everyone in the studio is pissing themselves laughing. Amazing. Flintoff would be hounded into the AA if he was a Yank.
