Honduras v Mexico finished 2-2. Can't have been that bad a game. And the wonderfully named Ben & Jerry scored 2 for Honduras. What's not to like?
I thought it was Morocco, given the way they whinged and bitched about the pen decision...must pay closer attention, to my national stereotypes

You are right it was Morocco. Funnily enough we played in a local bank league football match a couple of weeks ago against a team which featured what I think were Moroccans. (Certainly from that neck of the woods) and they bitched and whined like a bunch of girls, despite spending the time kicking lumps out of us. Our fiery Scottish forward kicked one of them in a tackle and then held his hand out to apologise. The fella took exception to this and said 'no, you do not kick someone and apologise' to which Ross replied, 'what the fuck do you expect me to do, apologise and then kick you'. Needless to say we beat them 4-0, hence having the last laughs!

Sounds like a job for Dr. Hoo

Just wanted to say while driving through London yesterday evening aboard a bus, while on the way to watch Derren Brown, I was staring at a bird in the car next to me who I found strangely attractive, and some how familiar. After a few minutes I realised it was Posh, but only on account of realising how much like Beckham the driver looked. Weird.

Drove past this ground on a day trip from a cruise a couple of years ago - like Wembley stadium in the middle of a very large area of scrubland - built with money 'donated' by China. Despite being Antigua with stunning scenery in parts, there is sadly considerable poverty for a large number of the indigenous population .

Looking forward to watching the opening ceremony tonight with pizza, cider and a few tons of cheap Swedish pick and mix.
I don't know why but I always enjoy seeing all of the athletes being introduced

I'm genuinely looking forward to this evening. Snippets that have emerged from the rehearsals make it sound as if the ceremony has been tailored very much to the local, UK audience. So the rest of the world might not understand a word of it...but should be fun for us!

Pointless speculation I know, but I've seen rumours that there might be a beatles hologram, similar to the tupac one from coachella. That would be AMAZZZZIIINNGGG
