English fans better be quiet.
The anthem is pretty quiet!
No fans singing. England fans not booing
There must be many more English fans there
Of course, FSC is on commercial!
Brazilian national anthem sounds like an opera!!
1658: Brazil have got Dani Alves on the bench. This could be a long evening for England in Doha.
FSC have almost caught up
ITV are back. There is a minute silence for the German keeper that committed suicide this week.
Well done all the fans
FSC are behind
England kick off.... FSC are 50 seconds behind
1705: Wrap up from League One Dawkesy: "Charlton have sent out a resounding warning to their League One title rivals with a 5-1 demolition of fellow challengers MK Dons. Norwich stay in the hunt courtesy of a 2-0 win over Tranmere, but Colchester were held 2-2 by struggling Exeter. Chris Lines' last-minute winner gave Bristol Rovers a 3-2 win over Carlisle, drawing them level on points with seventh-placed Millwall, who drew 2-2 at Brentford. There were 1-0 wins for Gillingham, Hartlepool and Yeovil, whilst Walsall beat Stockport 2-0. Huddersfield smashed six past Wycombe in the early kick-off and that is very much that."
I hate the FSC commentators Nick is on the mic
The ITV coverage and FSC coverage are completely different. The teams are going in opposite directions!!
It is weird that it looks like a completely different match
Three Lions have started well
Upson makes a mistake but his teammates rescue him
Rooney playing well
The captaincy suits him
Russia are two up
Foster miskick a clearance AGAIN!! Goes straight to Kaka but he doesn't make us pay
Every player on the field is playing European Football
The Wave has started!
Brazil hit one just wide from their left back
SWP hasn't defended well or attacked either
England have a had a good spell here.. Keep it up
1726: CAMEROON QUALIFY FOR THE 2010 WORLD CUP
Three United and three Citeh players in England's starting line up
Kaka has a nice curling shot saved by Foster
Roon hits one high, wide and horrible
Rooney had to be fouled there!
Good pressure by England here
Very hot here for the match!
At least England don't need to win the Cup in this type of weather... it will be winter in SA
1742: You know, it's not a bad game at all, this friendly in Doha. Of course while it's 0-0, it'll probably get panned. But both teams are looking threatening going forward, and there's some decent defending on show too.
1748: It's happening. In Cairo, grown men are almost certainly crying tears of anticipatory joy. Amr Zaki has just put Egypt 1-0 up against Algeria. One more goal, and they are dead level. Two more, and the Egyptians are going to South Africa.
Half time whistle blows.
Not a bad performance at all
Not a bad game
Be back for the second half
Slovenia score a last minute away goal. That could be crucial
ITV have Ian Wright and Marcel Desally(sp?)!
Why is Marcel there??
Russia only win 2-1
Greece and Ukraine about kick off
No Subs for the Three Lions to start the second half
FSC still behind... idiots!
England looking for their 500th win today!
Nice to get it against Brazil
England didn't lose after October on the way to winning the World Cup...can this England follow suit in many ways!!
Bloody Hell... just like the Brazilians against the US... they score inside two minutes.
Nice goal by Nilmar
78 seconds into the second half
I really don't know what everyone sees in Gareth Barry?
I don't get it
SWP gets a shot blocked... Barry stinks up a cross!
Told you!
Defoe about to come on
Bent is coming off for Defoe
He got no service at all
Brown messes up a chest back to Foster
Foster brings down Nilmar... should have been a red but only a yellow... Fabiano hits one WAY over!!!
COME ON ENGURLUND!!
Foster would have been off it wasn't a friendly
Just past the hour mark.... Still time for England
Free kick chance to England... Jenas hits the ball out wide...straight out of bounds!!
Fabio is not happy
Danni Alves replaces Elano
I didn't know that Spain are playing Argentina and Holland are playing Italy!

Hulk replaces Fabiano
England aren't creating diddly

Bugger

Brazil's centerback crushes the post!
Rooney makes the keeper work but not that much!
Kaka is coming off
Under ten to go
Roon moves to the right for SWP as Crouch comes on
Huddlestone replaces Barry
Why is Roon playing the whole 90? Fergie won't be happy. Must be because he is captain
Egypt still beating Algeria 1-0. The Algerians would qualify if it stays the same
ITV talking about someone that could come in late to the squad and be an impact.
There was Owen in '98
Platt in '90
Hurst and Peters in '66
None of them were major players before the tournament.
Serbia takes the lead in Belfast
Under 5 to go
Milner being replaced by clubmate Ashley Young
Brazil have another game on Tuesday against Oman
England could have had another. Glad they don't
No atmosphere at this match
Into 4 minutes of added time
In contrast
BBC Sport's Stephen Fottrell in Dublin: "Electric atmosphere around Croke Park in the build up to what feels like Ireland's biggest match for years. It has the feel of one of the Jack Charlton era about it. Huge optimism, the Irish fans believe Trap's men can get a result tonight to carry into Wednesday in Paris."
England putting a bit of pressure on the Brazilians
2 to go
COME ON ENGLAND
Doesn't look like it is going to happen.
Looks like a fourth defeat for Fabio
Brazil are one of four nations to have a wining record against England.
Who are the others?
That's it!
England 0 Brazil 1
I have been doing my best impersonation of Charles Lindbergh this morning.
Wish I had some company!
I will be around for some comments for the WC qualifiers later on
Take care everyone
UWS
Hey mate; sorry about the silence today. I picked the worst day to be in Atlanta at the National Council for the Social Studies conference. I really enjoyed reading your comments. I'm taking a moment after my session to check the scores. I'm really looking forward to being able to pay some attention to the second legs on Wednesday. Chat with you then. Cheers!
Sorry we missed each other Bob
World Cup Qualifying latest
Egypt scored a 95th minute goal to win 2-0 to be exactly even and force a one game play off in Sudan on Wednesday

As I come back, some bloke missed a sitter to make it two nil.
10 to go
From the Beeb
2013: A couple of you have now reported that Robin van Persie has been stretchered off for the Netherlands, who are facing Italy tonight. Bad news for Arsenal, if that's the case.
2136: The Van Persie news - or lack of it - keeps coming. MFBorman on Twitter reckons it's an ankle injury, not knee.
The French kit is very strange.
From the back, it looks like they are wearing leather straps!
Under five to go... ooh, Ireland were almost in there
2144: Spain beat Argentina 2-1 in that friendly in Madrid thanks to a Xabi Alonso double
Italy and Holland draw nil nil

Some argy bargy at the end of the game.
Players being held back from going after each other
Just saw the Anelka goal... a cruel deflection to go in
One more game in Europe still going on
Portugal still winning 1-0
Just found a link.... 25 minutes to go
I still have the Ireland France link on and it has gone to ESPN Sports Center
Very weird to hear an Australian/NZ accent open the show and the top stories being all footer
15 to go in Lisbson
Struth! I thought Bosnia scored but it hit the side netting
Portugal have a free kick right at the edge of the D...Deco hits the wall's shins!!
That is Deco's last action. He is substituted with 7 to go
Portugal substituting every five seconds to waste time
OH MY GOSH!!!
How did Portugal survive!!
A cross comes in and a header bounced on to the bar. The rebound went off the post!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!
89th minute
Bosnia is pressing
The English ref, Martin Atkinson, calling a bit of dodgy handball on a Bosnian as he was about to shoot
Portugal almost score with the last kick of the game
Portugal take a one nil lead into Wednesday
