Normally I quite like to hear how our players are doing for their country but with our current situation I am worried more about injuries. So any info would be welcome on how our players are doing tonight.

Luiz starting for Brazil. Ramirez on the bench. Strange as he was "unavailable" on Sunday.

Malouda captaining France.

I assume Ivanovich was playing for Serbia, who beat Israel 2-0, goals by Z. Tosic and Trivunovic - and as yet that's as much as I've been able to find out.

Another assumption is that Torres will be playing for Spain v Colombia, which kicks off at 8:30, and I'm pretty sure Bosingwa starts for Portugal v Argentina.

Luiz just took the ball from Malouda and started charging upfield. Malouda tried to get back at him, but couldn't keep up.:)

At least, thats what I think I saw.

Wish the France vs Brazil game was on TV ;_;

Great ball in from Malouda sets up Benzema, David Luiz does brilliantly to block his shot.

impressed by Luiz, what a man.

Anyone know if torres is playing? gonna try and find a stream

Torres on the bench right now. Ramires still hasn't been involved. Luiz has been fantastic from what I've seen. I think Malouda was taken off because I haven't see him.

edit: nvm Malouda is still on he's just been anonymous since the second half started. Though that could be a harsh judgment because I've been drifting between games.

Maloudas on the pitch, watching it now.

Watching the spain game on a stream right now, hoping to see torres for 2nd half.

1-0 France, cross in to Benzema who scored from close range. Nothing Luiz could have done about it. And a couple of minutes later Benzema came very close to making it 2-0.

Good to see all of our England boys come through unscathed, fingers crossed the rest do. Been watching some of the France v Brazil game and Luiz does look very impressive, he loves to bomb forward doesnt he, very similar to Carvalho the way he does it.

Benzema almost scored again. Luiz at fault there, but aside that mistake he's been excellent.

Oh no. Luiz has gone to ground...

What an awful challenge from Menez. Looks like Luiz will be alright though.

f**king menez takes luiz down, hope he is not injured he is still down, f**king twat!

Seems to be fine, up and running

Is the Hernanes who got sent off for Brazil this Ganso fella people keep talking about?

Robinho comes off and gives the captain's arm band to Luiz :)

Luiz taking over the captaincy for the rest of the game

So our new signing is now Brazils captain? Look what moving to Chelsea does for someones career....

Nope, different guy.

Nope, different guy.

Sorry, got confused. Ganso is Henrique isnt he? Bloody confusing, wish they would stick to one name.

Torres on

Silva 1-0 for spain, torres hardly had any balls to work with but when he do get it he looks comfy on it.

5 mins left.

No injuries for us tonight it seems.

Sorry, got confused. Ganso is Henrique isnt he? Bloody confusing, wish they would stick to one name.

Yeah, that's him. Hernanes plays on Lazio. I can see how that's confusing though; not only are Henrique and Hernanes similar names but they also play the same position!
