    Nicely finished. It was only a matter of time before Uruguay got a 2nd.

    Edi doesn't look fully match fit(understandable), I'd bring on Abel H now.

    Can't see the UAE team going too far in the tournament. Pretty much the whole team are observing Ramadan at the moment. Well they're supposed to be. I think some may have postponed it till a later date. If they did that then they'll be grand. If they didn't then they haven't a hope really.

    2-0 Brazil. Oscar takes it around the keeper, who I thought was a bit slow coming off his line, and has the [stupid me, can't think of a word] to pull the ball back to Damaio who is in a better position and smacks the ball into the empty net.

    Are we gonna have to listen to that stoopid music piece when they are showing replays for the rest of the tournament - when the olympic rings come up on screen at a replay, and will it be for every sport? It's damn annoying

    Same as usual so ;) They're silent aside from when they're booing the Liverpool player.

    BBC commentators and analysts are woeful

    Robbie Savage on Welsh players not singing God Save our Queen: "I can't understand it, maybe they don't know the words?"

    Ever thing they don't want to sing another country's national anthem Robbie?

    A bit of a braindead comment from a Welsh man as well.

    They didn't qualify. Have to reach the semi-final of the European Championship (U21) to qualify.
