Excellent start to the day, hoping Tunisia, Mexico and Australia can all step up in their games.

upd8 : she says 'We call futbol 'circus romanus., and sadly here if Argentina does not win something then there could be social disturbances. Already a lof of unhappiness here and people rely on futbol to keep them happy away from all of this'

I know the Saudi defender got absolutely clattered by his keeper but it seemed like the ref was giving Argentina every opportunity to equalise.

Got to hand it to Argentina though. What better way to protest Qatar's hosting of the tournament than to not show up.

Did make me laugh last night when you had Roy Keane with Robson-Kanu and Aluko
Keanes face just shouted out "what the oxf*rd do these two amateurs know and why are they in my presence"
Especially the moment Aluko seemed to cut him short, I had images of the coffee table being propelled across the studio

Tunisia look pretty decent.

Hannibal Mejbri, he of the unique haircut who has just come on for them, is currently on loan at Birmingham so will be facing Reading on 17 December.
