What a mouthwatering prospect this could be if the countries and sexes of the players were changed.

Nice of the BBC to spend all week banging on about womens sports and how they need to be marketed better and get far better coverage on tv to then turn around and put all the matches on bbc 3.

So did Sepp make it to this World Cup or did he decide the President of FIFA doesn't need to attend the biggest tournament?

First game in and I am already looking forward to a month of slow motion replays with a line of tar balls being kicked up by a dragging toe.

The Germans had the right idea; during the last WWC they actually confiscated vuvuzelas at the gate (and, being Germans, gave everyone a receipt so they could collect them again when leaving the stadium).

I didn't get a screen grab, but it looks like the World Cup ball is a knock off Brazuca, with extra panels to save of costs.

Edit: it could've been just the seams I saw, but I think there were more seams than what I would expect.

It's similar which is I think standard for the WWC ball, the 2011 ball was a recolored jabulani

The womens fields need to be smaller, they are so much slower and cover less ground and the ball just hangs around too long.

Canada is not playing very crisply. Not sure why. And China is emulating Japan but they're not as good as them.

Wow. China is really doing a lot better than I expected though. (Or the Canadians worse?) It might be 2 spots up for grabs actually although given this performance, I don't think either team is going to go far unless they drastically improve over the course of the group stage.

(This might be the most wide open WWC though. I think almost every team, even the top teams, are coming in with some questions.)
