Just a heads up this afternoon some ladies footy is on bbc 1 so you can all watch and think, 'shes quite fit, there not bad , just slow and crap goalkeepers' and the other stuff you normally think whilst this is on.
Later on on BBC1 its the great British olympic blokes football team against the Brazilian equivalent. Might be quite interesting and for the football starved a god send.

The bunch of 10 years playing in the park near me are more entertaining and better quality than bird's footy

I would have gone to Riverside for the Brazil game had I stayed in the North East. It was announced a couple of weeks after I left which was typical.
The GB Team squad doesn't excite me but it would have been a good chance to see some of the players that Tim Vickery has been talking about for years on the World Football Phone-In (Neymar and Ganso etc)

Neymar, Hulk and Oscar all start for Brazil. Alexandre Pato is on the bench. I think they might win.

This is fucking dire.
No atmosphere, no nothing.

The GB football team is the bastard spawn of Sepp Blatter and Seb Coe. The kind, humane course of action would have been to drown it at birth. What did you expect?

The atmosphere will be like this for the overwhelming majority of Olympic games I expect.
For the double-header I'm going to it's Spain vs. Honduras up first. I fully expect Japan vs. Morocco to be half empty.

Why do we compete as Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Olympics and not as the UK?

Didn't think that was too bad a performance, given that they were playing against one of the top sides, they've only been together a week, most of them aren't match fit, and they've never played ninety minutes together. Showed some promise in the second half.
Oh and Neymar might be talented but his cheating was pathetic.
