Match 1 - Group A - Brazil VS Croatia 21:00 BST including the opening ceremony

[PMLF]

Hulk....

[georginho_juventusygr]

Kovač's shoes are SHINING.

[dudge7]

Would hate to be on the same team as hulk. Must be so frustrating to play with.

[sean_oc16]

Good half.

[Klimowicz]

"You can still... play programmes" is a massive lie.

I am though... watching the game with the maintenance message above it. Have been since kick off.

[cms186]

does Luis Gustavo always sport a Pornstache?

[Orzelek]

Good game so far

[Ackter]

I'm getting "Sorry, a technical problem means this video is not available, please try again later."

[daylight]

Yep a really good half, have to get used to these later times though, almost 11pm here and still the second half to go, God help me come the even later games.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Great start to the tournament

[DJ]

Good football, not so sure, exciting football for sure

[Baptista_8]

I hate watching Olic pure grafter

[Paul Bacon]

First to draw a **** with the vanishing spray?

Me and a few mates went to a cottage once and they had a white board for some reason in it. Obviously drunk i drew a massive **** on the board, only to find out hours before we left that the pens were ****ing permanent markers

[DJ]

Good old Olic! I love the guy.

[thegr8anand]

Yeah Brazil are not winning the cup

[av3ry]

Olic is pretty cool. Nearly dropped a colossal bollock at the end with that attempted piece of skill. Been a good first half, more of the same in the second half please.

[CaptainPlanet]

ITV player just died for me

Yeah Brazil are not winning the cup

I don't think they will either but can't write them off after 1 half

[PMLF]

I don't think Brazil will win, but Brazil should improve vs Mexico and Cameroon when their nerves are under control. Today's game is the toughest in group stage as it's the first game.

[brett.spurs]

Scolari should get Fernandinho and Willian on for Paulinho and Hulk, he won't though.

[av3ry]

All I know is Brazil need to win tonight because they aint beating Mexico. They never beat Mexico iirc.

[Rhino]

ITV player just died for me

i bet it was Adrian Chiles' face which caused it to crash.

[thegr8anand]

Scolari should get Fernandinho and Willian on for Paulinho and Hulk, he won't though.

Yup that should make big difference.

[PMLF]

All I know is Brazil need to win tonight because they aint beating Mexico. They never beat Mexico iirc.

Mexico usually beat Brazil but Brazil beat them in the Confederations Cup last year.

[H.O.V.I]

Hulk is one of the most overrated players i have seen.

[midgetram]

Beat them last year in the Confederations Cup didn't they?

[Andrew!]

Mexico usually beat Brazil but Brazil beat them in the Confederations Cup last year.

No.

[PMLF]

No.

I was referring to nowadays, not 50 years ago.

[SOStriker]

I've got to say all these different ads with footballers are really starting to grate. It's a wonder they find time to actually train.

[Ricky Riccardo]

Fred and Paulinho will never be anywhere near as good as the real Ronaldo.

[PMLF]

No subs for the second half.

[Baptista_8]

Fred and Paulinho will never be anywhere near as good as the real Ronaldo.

You wearing your captain obvious armband tonight?

[Andrew!]

I was referring to nowadays, not 50 years ago.

Since 2011 they've played each other 3 times, with Brazil winning two.

[CaptainPlanet]

Fred and Paulinho will never be anywhere near as good as the real Ronaldo.

Neither will 99.9% of international strikers ever.

[PMLF]

Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff booed by Brazilian fans:

[McMaster#28]

I missed the size of the 4th board in the first half \o/

[Harryseaess]

Oscar is looking good tonight, tricky to defend.

[McMaster#28]

ffs ITV Stream.

[DJ]

Marcelo is getting very irritating with his diving and whining.

[PMLF]

Pretty boring second half so far.

[Chr1s Lawson]

Croatia slightly on top atm. Plays getting broken up alot though with lots of little fouls.

[cms186]

James Appell ‏@jamesappell 11m

Something you don't see often - co-commentator on Russian TV was getting hammered on Twitter, hasn't turned up for the second half.

[Orzelek]

Those boards showing subs and extra time are ugly as hell :thdn:

[PMLF]

Hernanes coming soon.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Hernanes. Good one, Scolari.

[Chr1s Lawson]

Hernanes coming soon.

bit more creative than Paulinho though the itv commentator just said he was a possession player!

[ReggaeBwoy]

Bring on Willian. Another average display from both Oscar and Hulk.

[DJ]

That look by Corluka ^^ Yellow

[dudge7]

Neymar rolling

[noikeee]

Missed the 2nd half up until now as I was cooking my dinner, how's it been?
