I'm so excited to see the start of the world cup tonight and whether Croatia can kick things off with a shock result against the favourites and hosts.

That thread is for discussion of the group, this is for if people want to talk during the live broadcast.
It was meant as a coverall to eliminate the individual match threads that spammed the forum over the past few tournaments as far as I know. Discussion of the group would naturally include that of games within the group, so this is a duplicate thread.
As for tonights match, I predict a nervy 1,0 win for Brazil.
The opening ceremony of the World Cup and the opening match will be shown exclusively live ONLY on ITV from 7pm this evening.
The BBC will be showing highlights immediately following the conclusion of the match (ITV hold the exclusive live rights to this match in the United Kingdom, following a match share agreement between the broadcasters)
Expecting Brazil to trounce Croatia, I imagine they're hyped for it after the build up of being the home nation.
Not to mention any goals scored will be in an unexpected break.
BBC Radio 5 Live won't miss it.
That's true. I shall be watching TV with the sound off and 5 Live on throughout the tournament.
Even on the BBC matches which usually have 5Live on the Red Button? I think no commentary may be better sometimes anyways.
I'll see. The 5 Live commentary on DAB is always about a second ahead of the TV so it might be better to red button on BBC matches.
But surely the pictures and sound won't be in sync?
It doesn't really matter that much. It's only a second or two. I'm so used to the 5 Live voices now that I have to have them.
Croatia have got a nice team there. I wouldnt rule out a shock.
I like them. It's good to watch how host countries wish to portray themselves to the world.
