Russia v South Korea

:01:01. > :01:17.COMMENTATOR: They will settle no less than the triumph of the final.

:01:18. > :01:26.They need something to break down Mexico. Neymar. That's the closest

:01:27. > :01:31.we've come so far. Luiz was there. Big chance for Brazil that. The flag

:01:32. > :01:38.has stayed down. Across the face of goal. Looking for Neymar. The a

:01:39. > :01:44.little bit of magic required. Neymar. Great save. What a save.

:01:45. > :01:51.That is that. Brazil 0, Mexico 0. So, after a less than thrilling

:01:52. > :02:01.earlier game, we now need goals and plenty of entertainment. Enter

:02:02. > :02:07.centre stage, Fabio Capello. Fabio Capello, the man who could do no

:02:08. > :02:13.wrong going into the tournament has got it very wrong when it really

:02:14. > :02:21.mattered. England football manager Fabio Capello has resigned... Fabio

:02:22. > :02:24.Capello is once again an international boss. He signed a

:02:25. > :02:43.two-year contract to lead the Russian national team.

:02:44. > :02:56.COMMENTATOR: It's a goal for this is going to make things very, very

:02:57. > :03:07.interesting now. South Korea have pressed and run and run and run.

:03:08. > :03:21.Tonight's game takes place in Arena Pantanal, in Cuiaba, purpose-built

:03:22. > :03:29.for this World Cup. It only opened in April. It lies right in the heart

:03:30. > :03:33.of of South America on the edge of the Amazon and is one of the hottest

:03:34. > :03:38.cities in Brazil. You think this group is one of the hardest to call?

:03:39. > :03:44.There are normally two standout games in every group. Algeria played

:03:45. > :03:46.really well. Russia, Korea, not much to choose between these teams. That

:03:47. > :03:49.is why this first to choose between these teams. That

:03:50. > :03:52.important to get off to a good We watched start. This game in 15

:03:53. > :03:55.minutes' time, watched start. This game in 15

:03:56. > :03:57.minutes' are you expecting to see the youth of South Korea

:03:58. > :04:06.minutes' are you expecting to see experience, shall we put it kindly?

:04:07. > :04:10.Nothing wrong with older players. The energy, and athletism of Korea

:04:11. > :04:14.will be there. They are always fit and strong. What surprises me with

:04:15. > :04:19.Fabio Capello is that he is building for 2018. They have the the World

:04:20. > :04:25.Cup in Russia. He picked a squad of ageing players. The seven or eight

:04:26. > :04:35.players over 30 in the first 11. It baffles me. I understand him picking

:04:36. > :04:39.players who play in Russia. All 23 players are domestic based. Do you

:04:40. > :04:44.think, even given everything that Fabio Capello has done in the game,

:04:45. > :04:49.Neil Lennon because of four years ago with England he has a point to

:04:50. > :04:54.prove at World Cup Every tournament and game you play in you have

:04:55. > :04:59.something to prove to yourself. Capello's World Cup ended in

:05:00. > :05:03.humiliation in 2010. He doesn't show much emotions. One of his owe

:05:04. > :05:09.motions is he is a proud man. He wants to prove to the world he can

:05:10. > :05:17.manage at the highest level. His mentality didn't suit the English

:05:18. > :05:22.game. He didn't master the language. The disciplinarian. The way of life

:05:23. > :05:26.out there to be disciplined. Better suited to Russia than Going back

:05:27. > :05:30.England. To the experience, also trying to plan, does the fact he has

:05:31. > :05:35.come with experience highlight a caution that we saw in him when he

:05:36. > :05:39.managed England He is desperate for success and do well. He feels if he

:05:40. > :05:47.take as risk with young players and fails again, after the last World

:05:48. > :05:51.Cup it will look bad on him. You have to look ahead. We see what

:05:52. > :05:55.England are trying to do now. It doesn't look like they are doing

:05:56. > :06:06.that. They might prove us wrong. They have good players. Let us look

:06:07. > :06:14.at the other two teams in Group H. Belgium against Algeria. They played

:06:15. > :06:16.in Belo Horizonte, watched by Dave Woods.

:06:17. > :06:37.COMMENTATOR: The penalty is going to be given. The yellow card is shown

:06:38. > :06:48.for the pull. Algeria's first goal of the World Cup in 2014. The first

:06:49. > :06:54.World Cup goal in 28 years. Hazard. Looking to get the ball in. At the

:06:55. > :07:02.second time of asking he does, via a deflection. Fellaini. He has got it.

:07:03. > :07:16.Off of the bench and scores the goal. Fellaini. Just what they

:07:17. > :07:23.wanted. Still an opportunity here. He took a dive. The referee is not

:07:24. > :07:30.impressed. Hazard looking to turn it right. Mertens 2-1 to Belgium. Two

:07:31. > :07:36.of the substitutes that have turned this game around. That was the game

:07:37. > :07:46.earlier on. We will talk more about that at half-time of Russiaed and

:07:47. > :07:48.South Korea. Let us show you both sides:

:07:49. > :08:01.. All eyes will be on Kokorin, the young lad upfront? He is the pin-up

:08:02. > :08:07.boy of Russian football. They have left out the best goalscorer for

:08:08. > :08:12.this lad. He likes to come off in the number 10 position. A wonder of

:08:13. > :08:19.a left-foot. Pin-up boy of Russian football. If they are planning for

:08:20. > :08:23.2018 he will be crucial when they have the World Cup on home soil

:08:24. > :08:33.given current form. Now South Korea. The younger of the

:08:34. > :08:40.two line-ups. You would expect everything to go through Ki.

:08:41. > :08:45.Excellent player. Really matured. Manipulates the ball under pressure.

:08:46. > :08:50.Well balanced with both feet. Passes the ball well. They have a great

:08:51. > :08:54.temperament. Great incentive when they come to the big tournaments.

:08:55. > :09:00.Some of the young ones there is a threat of national service hanging

:09:01. > :09:03.over them. If they do well that gets washed away. If the play goes

:09:04. > :09:13.through Ki, Son is the pin-up boy? washed away. If the play goes

:09:14. > :09:17.through Ki, Son is the pin-up boy? He has scored 12 goals in 43 games

:09:18. > :09:21.this season. It shows he knows where the back of the net is. They have to

:09:22. > :09:25.get him the ball, he will be creative. Park, who will play up

:09:26. > :09:33.top, who hasn't played much for Arsenal. We will see he how he does

:09:34. > :09:38.tonight. You know Son from Manchester United playing

:09:39. > :09:42.Leverkusen? He makes great runs in behind centre-backs. If you are a

:09:43. > :09:47.centre-back it's impossible to mark that run. He is the one to watch

:09:48. > :09:52.tonight. The coach has said, "our finishing touch around the goal will

:09:53. > :09:56.determine the winner of this game. I expect our offensive players to

:09:57. > :10:00.score tonight. 85% of their goals in qualifying came from within the

:10:01. > :10:04.penalty area." Maybe he has a point. It's Russia against South Korea live

:10:05. > :10:20.on BBC One. COMMENTATOR: It must have been a

:10:21. > :10:24.long wait for Russia and South Korea before getting involved in this

:10:25. > :10:33.World Cup, five days of watching and waiting. We are in Cuiaba, the

:10:34. > :10:39.Atlantic 2,000 kilometers to the east. The Pacific 2,000 to the west.

:10:40. > :10:42.The Amazon due north. We will start with the Russian anthem in 80 degree

:15:07. > :15:18.many expected the goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to be dropped, but he

:15:19. > :15:22.keeps his place. Park Chu-young, Arsenal's almost forgotten man,

:15:23. > :15:27.seven minutes of football this season for Arsenal, barely an hour

:15:28. > :15:31.on loan at Watford, but he has 24 international goals and it is

:15:32. > :15:38.Park's third World Cup. They still rate him highly. There he is, Martin

:15:39. > :15:44.Keown, Fabio Capello. Didn't go well for him four years ago. No, but he

:15:45. > :15:49.still has that arrogance about him and he will be expecting his team to

:15:50. > :15:54.do well tonight. Nothing fancy about them, they will play with that

:15:55. > :15:58.midfield player sitting in front of the back four and they are very

:15:59. > :16:06.workmanlike but South Korea, you can be sure they will be working hard.

:16:07. > :16:12.South Korea have often gone with foreign coaches into world cups,

:16:13. > :16:17.Guus Hiddink in 2002. They have Hong Myung-bo, arguably their best ever

:16:18. > :16:24.player in world cups, he is now their coach, he is the man who

:16:25. > :16:31.played in 1994, 1998 and 2002 and has agreed to stay on for the 2015

:16:32. > :16:35.Asian Cup, continuity is the watchword for South Korea. It is

:16:36. > :16:41.Russia, in the claret shirt, who will kick off from left to right on

:16:42. > :16:45.what is a hot and humid evening, with South Korea all in white

:16:46. > :16:50.defending the goal away to our right hand side. This is Group H, Belgium

:16:51. > :16:56.beat Algeria in this group earlier today.

:16:57. > :17:03.The referee from Argentina is being very precise about kick-off time.

:17:04. > :17:12.The referee from Argentina is being Away we go.

:17:13. > :17:17.Five days of watching everybody else get involved, and finally, these two

:17:18. > :17:40.sides join the party. So much experience at the back for

:17:41. > :18:04.the Russians. They provide the bulk of this 11.

:18:05. > :18:12.This is Lee Chung-yong, the Bolton man, who is a very tricky customer,

:18:13. > :18:13.but injuries have done him no favours over the last couple of

:18:14. > :18:44.years. I would imagine, Martin, the South

:18:45. > :18:48.Korean game, we have seen them in eight consecutive world cups and

:18:49. > :18:53.semifinalists on home soil in 2002, fitness and workrate is generally

:18:54. > :18:56.what they had been about. You would imagine they would want to force the

:18:57. > :19:03.pace and Russia will want to play more slowly. 100%. South Korea don't

:19:04. > :19:06.really have the players, they have the workrate. It will be interesting

:19:07. > :19:09.to see Russia's mentality under Capello, the system he puts in and

:19:10. > :19:28.how well they Yun Suk-young was on the bench for

:19:29. > :19:45.Queens Park Rangers in their championship play-off final victory.

:19:46. > :19:52.Lee Chung-yong, he has got great balance. I thought he did well in

:19:53. > :19:53.the Premier League. He went down to the Championship with Bolton and is

:19:54. > :20:22.expected to leave them this summer. Those two at the back are very

:20:23. > :20:29.experienced. If a massively. -- massively. And keep your eye on

:20:30. > :20:32.Zhirkov, used to play as a full-back and they're playing as a left winger

:20:33. > :20:36.and very effective in the final third.

:20:37. > :20:42.Blue shark beaten to it, there was a foul, the outstretched boot up the

:20:43. > :21:28.South Korean captain -- the in the same group as the Belgians

:21:29. > :21:35.again, the Russians. They played them back in 2002 and the last World

:21:36. > :21:39.Cup. Eshchenko is a full-back who gets forward well. Kombarov on the

:21:40. > :21:49.other side as well. They really do like to attack, this Russian team.

:21:50. > :21:55.They are an experienced unit, the backline, goalkeeper and the two

:21:56. > :22:01.central defenders. From CSKA Moscow, a great knowledge of each

:22:02. > :22:08.other's game. There will be no surprises amongst those team-mates.

:22:09. > :22:11.Kokorin the centre forward, he's great off the shoulder but doesn't

:22:12. > :22:12.really hold the ball up which is difficult when you are trying to

:22:13. > :22:45.mount attacks. South Korea in a hurry to take the

:22:46. > :23:24.free kick. the major clubs. Augsburg and Mainz,

:23:25. > :23:43.Queens Park Rangers, with all due respect, the same calibre of club.

:23:44. > :23:51.They like those little triangles. Samedov making a good run from deep,

:23:52. > :23:58.you need the third man running to make it possible.

:23:59. > :24:09.Kim Young-gwon with the mistake, it is going to be a corner. Under no

:24:10. > :24:14.real pressure as well. It could be costly. None of the South

:24:15. > :24:16.real pressure as well. It could be squad were involved in the London

:24:17. > :24:20.Olympics 2012, when they won the bronze, beating their great rivals

:24:21. > :25:04.Japan in the millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

:25:05. > :25:19.It looked promising for a moment. Yes, Son

:25:20. > :25:22.It looked promising for a moment. quick. Ki Sung-yeung, the Swansea

:25:23. > :25:26.player, on loan at Sunderland. He has been their best player, in the

:25:27. > :25:42.friendly games, what I have seen of him.

:25:43. > :26:07.That was a lovely ball. Lee Chung-yong, a great little through

:26:08. > :26:14.ball. Just a bit too much weight on it. A fraction of side, the linesman

:26:15. > :26:22.doesn't see it. Just too much weight on it, can't get there. It is

:26:23. > :26:33.unlucky. It was Park. It is quite a high Russian line.

:26:34. > :26:46.Free kick to Russia. Have you heard your old pal Arsene Wenger at

:26:47. > :26:51.Arsenal talk about Park? No and, to be fair, I haven't heard the Arsenal

:26:52. > :26:56.fans talk about him. He hasn't played much and sent on loan to

:26:57. > :27:01.Watford, he had played an hour of football. So an hour and 32 minutes

:27:02. > :27:05.at club level for the season. He was injured, to be fair. But he is a

:27:06. > :27:22.lucky boy to be here. Lee Chung-yong will have a word, he

:27:23. > :27:26.might have given that to him. He should have passed. It was a great

:27:27. > :27:38.ball down the left hand side. Good movement, but not a very good

:27:39. > :27:54.finish at all. Early promise for South Korea, though.

:27:55. > :28:03.Very important, I think, for Russia, bearing in mind they are the hosts

:28:04. > :28:09.for 2002, but they have a decent World Cup. Nobody expects them to

:28:10. > :28:13.win it or even trouble the last four or eight, but they will be very

:28:14. > :28:17.unhappy if they don't get out of the group. Capello will not want that

:28:18. > :28:33.pressure coming on him like he had when he was the manager of England.

:28:34. > :28:41.Keeping the Celtic left-back out of the team. He is here with his

:28:42. > :29:13.father, Cha Bum Kun. They are just happy to keep it,

:29:14. > :29:19.South Korea. They keep it well, don't they? They do, and I think the

:29:20. > :29:26.conditions dictate that. It is very, very warm here. 80 degrees, still

:29:27. > :29:42.humid. It doesn't do to be very pale and

:29:43. > :29:50.pasty skin here, not with all of the midges and mosquitoes around.

:29:51. > :30:00.There is going to be a card here, and early yellow card was Son

:30:01. > :30:06.Heung-min -- the early yellow card, which has left Son a little bit

:30:07. > :30:17.bemused. Was their contact there? No, he is diving, 100%. He is an

:30:18. > :30:21.unlucky boy there. South Korea's current player of the year. We have

:30:22. > :30:39.seen some flashes of good play from him already.

:30:40. > :30:48.Ignashevich. 34 now, Ignashevich. Passes it well, actually.

:30:49. > :30:57.Kokorin is in the middle. He has been joined by Shatov. The cross

:30:58. > :31:10.isn't going to come. Lee Chung-yong with the clearance. Koo Ja-cheol

:31:11. > :31:49.almost running into trouble for South Korea.

:31:50. > :31:56.Good one too. Kim Young-gwon it was a surprise to me that Michael

:31:57. > :32:04.Laudrup allowed him to go out on-loan. He did well in keeping them

:32:05. > :32:09.up. I wouldn't say he did it single-handed? He adds something to

:32:10. > :32:14.any team he plays in. Ignashevich not much more than a throw upfield.

:32:15. > :32:35.Here's Yeshchenko. So far the South Korean goalkeeper

:32:36. > :32:38.untroubled, Jung Sung-ryong. They play an awful lot of friendly

:32:39. > :32:42.matches, South Korea. They have played as many games over the last

:32:43. > :32:46.two years, more than any other country in this World Cup. He has

:32:47. > :32:47.not covered himself in glory. There were many who thought that it might

:32:48. > :32:55.be the end of his were many who thought that it might

:32:56. > :33:00.Cuiaba. They have stuck with the goalkeeper and so far he has had

:33:01. > :33:03.nothing to do. They won't have either if they are going to pass the

:33:04. > :33:07.ball like that. Yeshchenko giving the ball away. I can see what they

:33:08. > :33:14.are trying to do with their triangles and the way they are

:33:15. > :33:22.sitting in midfield. Coming inside once. Running into Lee Chung-yong. A

:33:23. > :33:47.little dink off Shatov. This is Kokorin. That's a goal kick.

:33:48. > :33:52.When it goes into Kokorin. He is not the quickest. It's asking a lot of

:33:53. > :33:53.him, OK. He has to protect that ball for his team-mates to get up in

:33:54. > :34:07.numbers to support him. I suppose, in some respects,

:34:08. > :34:15.Kokorin's inclusion over Kerzhakov may be with half an eye on the

:34:16. > :34:21.upcoming championships. You can't envisage him leading the line at 35.

:34:22. > :34:27.Kokorin is 23 and may be leading the line at their own World Cup. He is

:34:28. > :34:31.the future. You pick the best man for the job at that moment. If he's

:34:32. > :34:35.in the squad, then pick him if he's better. Yeah.

:34:36. > :34:47.I don't think Capello does anything out of sentiment, that's for sure.

:34:48. > :34:53.Samedov. It's start. If you had to

:34:54. > :34:54.Samedov. It's points rather than goals, you would

:34:55. > :34:59.have South Korea slightly ahead. points rather than goals, you would

:35:00. > :35:01.Just the long ball. Long hopeful pass. No real quality there. He has

:35:02. > :35:15.to punch that into midfield. The cross came in. Kokorin trying to

:35:16. > :35:46.get on the end of it. A bit better there. Samedov'ses

:35:47. > :35:48.cross. Kokorin trying to get on the end of it. Just not sharp enough in

:35:49. > :35:54.the box. It is a tough Group to call, I agree

:35:55. > :36:05.with Phil Neville about that. Certainly scared Belgium today.

:36:06. > :36:07.Certainly did. I wonder how it affects teams with this late

:36:08. > :36:11.Certainly did. I wonder how it helped these two teams. A lot of

:36:12. > :36:15.Certainly did. I wonder how it people have said, Belgium, dark

:36:16. > :36:17.horses to do really well in this tournament. I have to say, on

:36:18. > :36:17.horses to do really well in this pre-World Cup results, you would not

:36:18. > :36:23.say so. I think, pre-World Cup results, you would not

:36:24. > :36:29.about playing as a team. Great individuals. Can they come together

:36:30. > :36:30.as a unit? We have had some really poor results over the course

:36:31. > :36:36.as a unit? We have had some really 2014. I know it's only friendlies.

:36:37. > :36:41.You look at the squad and think, yes, but the optimism that was

:36:42. > :36:45.around at the end of 2013 for the Belgium squad has ebbed and dribbled

:36:46. > :36:53.away over the course of the first six months of 2014. I didn't think

:36:54. > :37:09.they were great today. Kokorin's cross. It's hooked out by Hong

:37:10. > :37:19.Jeong-ho. He whips it in. Faizulin. That's a great ball from Faizulin,

:37:20. > :37:23.which was sent back to the direction from which it had come. That would

:37:24. > :37:31.have had the keeper's heart racing for a moment. Keeps out of trouble,

:37:32. > :37:46.sidestepping a couple of Russians, first Shatov and then Samedov.

:37:47. > :37:52.Some of the crowd are reacting to the pace of the game. Certainly

:37:53. > :38:04.South Korea in no rush when they get possession.

:38:05. > :38:19.The stadium is very nearly full, which is good to see. Cuiaba didn't

:38:20. > :38:23.get the rub of the green of what matches are played where. Chile and

:38:24. > :38:29.Australia played here. Columbia come here. They have four Group games.

:38:30. > :38:41.Columbia will bring a whole load of fans. It wouldn't fall for Darren

:38:42. > :38:46.Ferguson. Too much on it. Park won't fans. It wouldn't fall for Darren

:38:47. > :39:02.reach that. It's a goal kick. Had a scare South Korea when they

:39:03. > :39:09.hosted the East Asian Cup on home soil. Went out at the Group stage,

:39:10. > :39:16.drew with Australia 0-0, drew with China 0-0 and lost at home to Japan.

:39:17. > :39:20.They look quite a decent unit here, despite some poor results just

:39:21. > :39:25.coming into this tournament. We talked about 4-0 against Ghana, that

:39:26. > :39:28.was played in the USA. Lost at home to Tunisia at a farewell match

:39:29. > :39:35.before getting on the plane. A to Tunisia at a farewell match

:39:36. > :39:38.quarter of the way into this game they look comfortable, aren't they?

:39:39. > :39:45.It's up to Russia to take the game to them. They are quite happy to sit

:39:46. > :39:59.back in... Shatov here. Kombarov. Every is very safe, isn't

:40:00. > :40:05.it. Kombarov just playing it simple. A flick off from Kokorin. Wasn't

:40:06. > :40:07.quite collected by Shatov. Breaking down too easily when it goes into

:40:08. > :40:49.that final third. Yun Suk-young here. Finds Lee Yong.

:40:50. > :41:05.Making the run is Darren Ferguson. Hoping the pass is going to come. --

:41:06. > :41:13.Son Heung-min. Good tackle. South Korea too deep. He made a tackle

:41:14. > :41:16.with real intention. I feel South Korea their full-backs are coming

:41:17. > :41:22.back all the time. Not playing with any real conviction. Just happy to

:41:23. > :41:28.just stay comfortable in the match. You know with a win percentage of

:41:29. > :41:32.66. 7%, Capello is actually statistically anyway the most

:41:33. > :41:34.successful England manager ever. That shows what statistics are all

:41:35. > :41:43.about, doesn't it? That is much too high. Not sure it

:41:44. > :41:48.was the happiest group who has played under a manager. He won -

:41:49. > :41:51.Qualification was great. Qualification was great. Friendlies

:41:52. > :42:04.were great. Really big games, not so. Perhaps he suits the Russian

:42:05. > :42:07.mentality far better. He hasn't learnt Russian any more than he

:42:08. > :42:19.learnt English, judging from yesterday's press activity.

:42:20. > :42:34.Finished ahead of Portugal in qualifying, Russia.

:42:35. > :42:49.So slow, isn't it? No at the tempo to the game. It really needs to move

:42:50. > :43:00.much quicker. -- no tempo to the game. Sloppy.

:43:01. > :43:08.Next World Cup football live on the BBC is tomorrow. It's a hugely

:43:09. > :43:16.important game actually. Spain against Chile. We are on air at BBC

:43:17. > :43:20.One at 7.30. Spain up against it really. That will be a Russian

:43:21. > :43:24.corner. Shatov make as great run from midfield. That is what you are

:43:25. > :43:26.looking for. That extra midfield player making the run. Good

:43:27. > :43:40.defending. Kombarov is

:43:41. > :43:45.corner, as he did Russia's first, which you may remember zipped rather

:43:46. > :43:51.invitingly through a host of players on the six-yard box. Kombarov,

:43:52. > :43:58.deeper this one. Goalkeeper, on the six-yard box. Kombarov,

:43:59. > :44:01.keeper. Lashed back in. Blocked by on the six-yard box. Kombarov,

:44:02. > :44:05.happyish with that punch. Thought on the six-yard box. Kombarov,

:44:06. > :44:15.You see so many on the six-yard box. Kombarov,

:44:16. > :44:23.punching. Ignashevich, Kokorin, Faizulin. Kokorin.

:44:24. > :44:30.Kombarov for the cross! Kokorin with the header. Get too much on it. It

:44:31. > :44:33.all starts with him. The passage of play that leads up to the cross,

:44:34. > :44:37.that goes into him. He gets it wide. He gets in the box. What he has to

:44:38. > :44:39.do is hold it up for his team. He has to finish a lot better than

:44:40. > :44:54.that. Premier League fixtures come out

:44:55. > :44:55.tomorrow morning. Already? Yeah. The BBC website will have those as soon

:44:56. > :45:00.as they BBC website will have those as soon

:45:01. > :45:08.time. Great support, as always, from the South Korean fans. I think who,

:45:09. > :45:13.after they reached the semi-final in 2002 kind of felt that ruling the

:45:14. > :45:17.world was almost their birthright at some point. It hasn't quite worked

:45:18. > :45:21.out like that, Martin. I don't think it will ever get quite back to

:45:22. > :45:24.out like that, Martin. I don't think heights it was in 2002. That was

:45:25. > :45:46.something. South Korea have the free-kick. It was for a foul on Kim

:45:47. > :45:49.Young-gwon. South Korea squeaked into the World Cup behind Iran in

:45:50. > :45:54.their qualifying group and ahead into the World Cup behind Iran in

:45:55. > :46:17.Uzbekistan on goal differences. that challenge. He was in danger of

:46:18. > :46:29.losing it and I do think that Samedov was going to get there

:46:30. > :46:35.He looks to be in a bit of pain. And I think that Ki Sung-yeung, when he

:46:36. > :46:40.gets back I think that Ki Sung-yeung, when he

:46:41. > :46:46.insult to injury, but certainly a card to injury. We are waiting for

:46:47. > :46:52.the replay, but it looks like two feet. To be fair, we

:46:53. > :46:53.the replay, but it looks like two players to go in on their side and

:46:54. > :46:58.make a tackle like that. It is make a tackle like that. It is

:46:59. > :47:00.because you have left the ground, and you

:47:01. > :47:17.because you have left the ground, a booking. And he has got one.

:47:18. > :47:26.I think you get some idea of it is, the players having a water

:47:27. > :47:28.break. Yes, it is not just the fact of the heat, it is the humidity,

:47:29. > :47:40.obviously. 30 minutes played, Group H, Cuiaba

:47:41. > :47:49.the venue, Europe against Asia, all square. Russia at the moment are

:47:50. > :48:00.down to ten men, with Samedov off the pitch getting treatment.

:48:01. > :48:12.It wasn't bad. And the goalkeeper didn't enjoy that at all. What a

:48:13. > :48:18.good drive from Ignashevich. Yes, he can hit them, Ignashevich. But you

:48:19. > :48:22.expect the keeper to save that. You would expect him not to push it

:48:23. > :48:24.straight out to a Russian as well, but he nearly did. Berezoutski was

:48:25. > :48:40.following up. Russia have 11 out on the pitch

:48:41. > :49:18.again, by the way, Samedov is back on the pitch.

:49:19. > :49:26.Ever had that feeling, as a centre-half, when you find yourself

:49:27. > :49:32.in opposition territory, thinking, " What am I doing here?" Correct.

:49:33. > :49:43.Kokorin infra Russia. Zhirkov providing support. -- in for Russia.

:49:44. > :49:48.And it was a poor shot. We know he has a great left foot but he didn't

:49:49. > :49:52.show it. I think he is thinking about crossing it and is in two

:49:53. > :50:02.minds and ends up kicking the ground. He is much better than that.

:50:03. > :50:07.Somewhat surprisingly, he does only have one international goal to his

:50:08. > :50:10.credit, but as Martin said earlier, earlier in his career he was

:50:11. > :50:19.left-back and it is only really recent times that, I suspect,

:50:20. > :50:26.Capello being the kind of coach he is didn't want Zhirkov playing in

:50:27. > :50:31.his defence. Not far wide! Hacking fever was rooted. -- ichor hacking

:50:32. > :50:44.of the was rooted. It could have gone anywhere. Didn't

:50:45. > :51:10.require a second invitation to have a pop.

:51:11. > :51:19.I thought it was a dreadful delivery to start with but when Park

:51:20. > :51:20.Chu-young did that, I thought it might be training ground rather than

:51:21. > :51:55.a scuffed. Kim Jin-su would have been the first

:51:56. > :51:57.choice left-back but had to retire with an injury just before the World

:51:58. > :52:21.Cup. Son Heung-min gets into some good

:52:22. > :52:33.areas, just playing between the lines.

:52:34. > :52:53.I don't know if anybody is wondering why it would be Park Chu-young,

:52:54. > :53:04.rather than Ju-Young Park, when Ji Sung Park was often Park Ji-sung and

:53:05. > :53:08.I did Aske, and it was supposed to be Park Ji-sung and was told that if

:53:09. > :53:20.he does not correct you, it is because he is too polite.

:53:21. > :53:27.The gold wouldn't go amiss, would it? A couple of shots would be good.

:53:28. > :53:57.If -- goal wouldn't go amiss. Just backing in, Kokorin. It will be

:53:58. > :54:08.a shock for South Korea when they go from here in Cuiaba for their next

:54:09. > :54:14.game, in Porto Alegre. 2,000 miles. And how cold is it? Extremely cold,

:54:15. > :54:19.you wouldn't believe the difference in weather. Holland are playing

:54:20. > :54:25.their next. You can't really emphasise enough how much it takes

:54:26. > :54:30.out of your legs when you play in these hot conditions. They have a

:54:31. > :54:38.prearranged agreement that if it is very hot and humid, they are allowed

:54:39. > :54:46.a cooling break. Which can last up to three minutes. Even the South

:54:47. > :54:51.Koreans, even they are hot, and it can get pretty hot here. They have

:54:52. > :54:57.my sympathy. I think this is here for the taking. Russia have been

:54:58. > :55:00.slightly better, better shape to their team, better individuals but

:55:01. > :55:08.at the moment, they just seem happy to get through it. I would like to

:55:09. > :55:17.be a fly on the wall at half-time in Capello's dressing room. Makarova

:55:18. > :55:23.that was wasteful. He couldn't have asked for much more, it was a lovely

:55:24. > :55:29.header down. Son Heung-min is known for the quality of his striking of

:55:30. > :55:34.the ball and not here. It is a woeful finish. He is trying to take

:55:35. > :55:43.the leather off it. He is looking at the headlines tomorrow.

:55:44. > :55:53.A real sight of goal, and there those situations, they don't panic.

:55:54. > :56:21.And he panicked. It is

:56:22. > :57:12.Shatov thought it might go for a corner.

:57:13. > :58:00.You have to preserve energy. What is the worst you have played in in

:58:01. > :58:09.these kind of conditions? Many years ago in Italy in a pre-season game, I

:58:10. > :58:15.could hardly breathe. I played indoors in the United States, the

:58:16. > :58:47.humidity was ridiculous. It was like playing in a greenhouse.

:58:48. > :58:55.Forced out by some good defending by Berezoutski. He has got it, if he

:58:56. > :59:00.has the confidence. He can find those little pockets. Thought about

:59:01. > :59:34.shooting but after his last shot, made a run instead.

:59:35. > :00:19.The Borlee was promising. -- the ball in.

:00:20. > :00:32.the first half. Korea seem to be growing in confidence, don't they?

:00:33. > :00:40.Played each other in a friendly back in November. Their only previous

:00:41. > :00:56.meeting, 2-1 win for Russia in the end.

:00:57. > :01:03.Chased by Berezutski, who is retreating into his defensive slot,

:01:04. > :01:13.alongside Ignashevich. Good possession from South Korea. Time in

:01:14. > :01:25.the first half in against them. -- is against them.

:01:26. > :01:32.He slightly over complicated that one. Looked like he was trying to do

:01:33. > :01:36.it with a trick and a bit - This is the thing. They try to keep it

:01:37. > :01:42.simple. They haven't really got the technique. In the final third is

:01:43. > :01:44.where you need it the most. That little trick. And the conviction.

:01:45. > :01:47.They don't seem to be little trick. And the conviction.

:01:48. > :01:52.an awful lot of conviction. If they did I think maybe Russia are here

:01:53. > :02:00.for the taking. They are sloppy. Another example of it there. That

:02:01. > :02:09.long diagonal ball hasn't worked at all yet. He loves that ball, doesn't

:02:10. > :02:30.he? Just the one. Or a minimum of one added. Ki Sung-yueng.

:02:31. > :02:42.The header landed where the player had been a minute before. Capello a

:02:43. > :02:47.bit worried, Martin, do you think at this stage as he reflects on the

:02:48. > :02:50.first 45 minutes. They have not set the tournament alight, have they? An

:02:51. > :02:54.ordinary workman like performance. They lack a little bit of

:02:55. > :02:57.confidence. Capello certainly doesn't lack confidence. It's not

:02:58. > :03:01.about him. It's about the players. He really needs to get into them at

:03:02. > :03:02.half-time to make them come out of themselves and at least commit

:03:03. > :03:09.totally to this match. themselves and at least commit

:03:10. > :03:14.kick from Ignashevich for Russia, which was saved by a startled

:03:15. > :03:22.looking South Korean goalkeeper. At the other end, a hand chance, Son

:03:23. > :03:26.Heung-min, on his right-foot. It has been a little short on real

:03:27. > :03:38.opportunities, to be honest, in Group H so far. In Cuiaba.

:03:39. > :03:46.Half-time, Russia 0, South Korea 0. Can I just check Neil Lennon the

:03:47. > :03:53.last time you were in the studio was for Iran 0 and Japan 0. Reliving it.

:03:54. > :04:02.59% has been played in the middle third. It feels very tight and

:04:03. > :04:05.congested? Very technical. Both teams are playing particularly

:04:06. > :04:11.conservative. Getting behind the ball. Making it difficult for any

:04:12. > :04:17.sort of penetration from the flanks or through the middle. There is no

:04:18. > :04:21.real pace to the game. Hong said before the game he would start

:04:22. > :04:25.conservative am you hope South Korea, who have been the better

:04:26. > :04:29.team, will come into the game more. More adventure for South Korea than

:04:30. > :04:33.Russia? Into they had the better of it. I'm with Neil. I hope the

:04:34. > :04:38.second-half, especially being the opening game, they go for it more.

:04:39. > :04:42.Winning your first game is important as none of them are favourites in

:04:43. > :04:46.the Group. Russia have been pedestrian, poor. One player that

:04:47. > :04:52.got us out of our seats at all it would be Son? He has been the the

:04:53. > :04:56.best attacker on the pitch. We spoke about him playing on the the left

:04:57. > :05:01.hand side. He comes inside. A nightmare for full-backs they can't

:05:02. > :05:09.pick him up. It showed a glimpse of what he is about early in the game.

:05:10. > :05:13.Ki he has passed cautionly. This is Ki.

:05:14. > :05:20.Ki he has passed cautionly. This is We will look at Ki, we

:05:21. > :05:21.Ki he has passed cautionly. This is Son. He has been excellent. He is

:05:22. > :05:26.playing low-risk capable of doing that. Getting

:05:27. > :05:31.people into the pockets. He has been really composed on the ball, as you

:05:32. > :05:35.would expect. A lot of touches. This was very harsh. Committed to the

:05:36. > :05:39.challenge. Full blooded that is what you want from your midfield player.

:05:40. > :05:44.Won the ball. Throwing his body on the line for the team, he ends up

:05:45. > :05:48.getting a yellow card. I found it very He hasn't strange. Given the

:05:49. > :05:54.ball away. Does he look like a player who has been well coached? I

:05:55. > :05:57.like to think so. That is a typical Ki performance. Well balanced,

:05:58. > :06:06.composed over the pitch. I want to see him opening the game more. Now

:06:07. > :06:09.let's look at Son? He has played on that left hand side. Driving in all

:06:10. > :06:14.the time. This was early in the game. He announced himself to the

:06:15. > :06:18.game. Quick feet here. Pass was a little bit lucky. He ends up in the

:06:19. > :06:21.centre of the pitch all the time. Nightmare for a full-back. This was

:06:22. > :06:23.the best move of the game. His position just inside.

:06:24. > :06:24.the best move of the game. His now. Loses the full-back.

:06:25. > :06:29.the best move of the game. His here was magnificent. He is inside.

:06:30. > :06:31.Driving at the back four. Just look at this. The run from Park is

:06:32. > :06:35.Driving at the back four. Just look unselfish. That creates the space on

:06:36. > :06:39.the right hand side for Son to run into. His final shot that let

:06:40. > :06:40.the right hand side for Son to run down in this half. That has let him

:06:41. > :06:43.down, the final down in this half. That has let him

:06:44. > :06:47.shot. He down in this half. That has let him

:06:48. > :06:51.areas. Knock down from Park. Good feet. Finds the space. Just, I

:06:52. > :06:54.think, he has lost his head a little bit. There he has for sure been the

:06:55. > :06:58.best attacking player on theism pitch. If they are going to win it,

:06:59. > :07:01.it will come through him. One question on this, with a little bit

:07:02. > :07:06.of an England head on as well. You know what I'm going to say Phil, he

:07:07. > :07:10.is in and playing on the left, coming inside and having an effect?

:07:11. > :07:14.He is an effect because of the positions he is taking up. What is

:07:15. > :07:19.also happening is Park is going to the left hand side. A goo inter

:07:20. > :07:24.change between Park and Son. That takes time to gel. Let's be kind to

:07:25. > :07:28.Wayne Rooney here. The fact is he plays on the left at club level

:07:29. > :07:33.mostly as well. When you are used to do that job. Different player from

:07:34. > :07:36.Wayne Rooney. Looks more quicker, athletic, taller. Wayne is more

:07:37. > :07:40.compact and likes to take the ball into the feet more. It's important

:07:41. > :07:43.to make that point. When you are a fan and look at it the you are

:07:44. > :07:48.thinking, there is influence that can be done, yeah? Son is an outside

:07:49. > :07:51.left player who likes to come inside. That is his strength. Wayne

:07:52. > :07:58.Rooney is a centre forward who plays occasionally on the left hand side.

:07:59. > :08:01.Totally different scenario. Samaras' best position was on the left hand

:08:02. > :08:33.side so little invention from both sides

:08:34. > :08:38.really. I've been disappointed in Russia. A as soon as they lose the

:08:39. > :08:44.ball 4-5-1 no authority to go forward. No ambition to win the

:08:45. > :08:47.game. If I was Fabio Capello I would be disappointed at It proved

:08:48. > :08:52.half-time. By the only chance we can show you as far as Russia are

:08:53. > :08:57.concerned. Which is Ignashevich free-kick. Kokorin more often than

:08:58. > :09:01.not is the only player in the box. This is a great strike. The fact we

:09:02. > :09:04.are showing this as their best chance is ridiculous. From a side

:09:05. > :09:09.full of experience. From a manager with a point to prove. They haven't

:09:10. > :09:12.done anything courageous or tried to make things happen and gone and

:09:13. > :09:16.played badly. They are not trying to make things happen. That is their

:09:17. > :09:22.disappointment. Are you as disappointed? No combination play.

:09:23. > :09:27.No pace out wide. Centre forward, Kokorin, looks really isolated. It

:09:28. > :09:34.looks like a disinterest from the Russians. A lack of sayings there.

:09:35. > :09:40.There has to be a change. It is a gamble to look for a draw when

:09:41. > :09:46.Belgium are coming up? Kokorin is on his own against maybe four or five

:09:47. > :09:52.Korean defenders. They need to show more ambition. Social media at the

:09:53. > :09:57.moment. Dave Dave individual, "I'm not sure if this match was staying

:09:58. > :10:05.up for. The brilliant thing about this game is the referee. As far as

:10:06. > :10:11.comb overs go the ref has one as near as possible to stylish." It's

:10:12. > :10:17.the referee's birthday today. The no truth in the rumour that he was -

:10:18. > :10:21.got a Sir Bobby Charlton makeover kit for his birthday. Hour hosts

:10:22. > :10:24.were in action earlier this evening. Here is what happened with Mark

:10:25. > :10:43.Lawrenson and Jonathan Pearce. COMMENTATOR: Hot, humid evening,

:10:44. > :10:53.sunshine out. Not a bad effort that. Good drive. A lovely touch from

:10:54. > :11:02.Oscar. The Neymar. Isolated. Spins it back. Just too far. Paulinho was

:11:03. > :11:04.Oscar. The Neymar. Isolated. Spins surging forward. Looking for Neymar!

:11:05. > :11:09.Clawed away. That is the closest we have come so far. Great leap as

:11:10. > :11:21.well. Marvellous cross from Neymar. A lot of ground to make up, the

:11:22. > :11:31.goalkeeper. Got there though. Yeah. Alves, foul. He was caught. His foot

:11:32. > :11:40.caught him. This is as about as far out as Luiz's attempt.

:11:41. > :11:45.caught him. This is as about as far this. It hit Ochoa. It just hit him.

:11:46. > :11:58.A big chance. A big chance. A big save, actually. Here's Bernard.

:11:59. > :12:08.Across the face of goal. Just headed away by Rodriguez, he got there just

:12:09. > :12:17.in time. Take him on. Left-foot pops across. Neymar! Neymar once more.

:12:18. > :12:20.Trying to fiddle his way through. Alves, pulls it back, deflected

:12:21. > :12:43.away. Another top stop. Gustavo. No need to give away the free-kick.

:12:44. > :12:47.Daft, daft, daft. Away from goal. Neymar with it. Silva is in there.

:12:48. > :12:54.Great save. What a save! Bounces out. Another block. Just pure

:12:55. > :13:04.reaction save. He is going back. Stuck out a paw, basically, didn't

:13:05. > :13:09.he? Luiz, Marcelo got in behind. He is still there. He went down. The

:13:10. > :13:13.referee is having none of it. Why didn't he carry on? He was away from

:13:14. > :13:23.him. There was a man in the middle had he stayed on his feet...

:13:24. > :13:32.Exactly. Out towards the substitute. A splendid save. Hernandez wasn't

:13:33. > :13:38.far away. He gambled. The hosts denied. That is that. That is the

:13:39. > :13:42.Group table: Both Brazil and Mexico have four points. Whoever loses

:13:43. > :13:48.tomorrow's match between Cameroon and Croatia will be out of the 2014

:13:49. > :13:49.World Cup. Let us find out how the Brazilians have reacted to that

:13:50. > :14:03.point. The Mexicans deserved a draw? I

:14:04. > :14:10.think they did. Historic day for them. They are extremely happy. A

:14:11. > :14:15.frustrating one for Brazil. You were watching Luiz Felipe Scolari having

:14:16. > :14:18.kittens on the touchline. A frustrated figure. His team were

:14:19. > :14:21.increasingly frustrated in that second-half. That is the challenge

:14:22. > :14:25.of this World Cup. How do you deal with with the emotional pressures?

:14:26. > :14:28.Four points in the bag. They love their Cup competitions here. They

:14:29. > :14:33.know the race is not always to the swift. You don't win World Cup's

:14:34. > :14:36.with flashy open day wins. You win it by growing through the

:14:37. > :14:41.competition. Brazil have plenty of growing to do. There were lots of

:14:42. > :14:45.press writers up there now on their way to the press conference unhappy

:14:46. > :14:50.with the way Brazil played today? For the past year Scolari has been

:14:51. > :14:56.living on paradise island everything has gone his way, until today. Let

:14:57. > :15:00.us see how he copes with that? I wonder if he will come in and say, I

:15:01. > :15:08.have no excuses, I blame the referee. Pre-match they said Mexico

:15:09. > :15:13.were warriors. Right in the first 10 seconds. Mexico are warriors with

:15:14. > :15:16.their heads in the right place. Kept their cool. Never let the atmosphere

:15:17. > :15:22.in the stadium get the better of them. Knew what they were doing. Did

:15:23. > :15:28.it well. Nearly, nearly came away with a win. That late save. Thank

:15:29. > :15:31.you very much. The Brazilian bandwagon roll noose the capital.

:15:32. > :15:50.They will take on Cameroon next. games, it might not be a long show,

:15:51. > :16:02.7:50am tomorrow. The big live game tomorrow night is Spain against

:16:03. > :16:12.Chile. The Netherlands are playing Australia and Camerin and Croatia

:16:13. > :16:15.are also on the radio. -- Cameroon. And Radio 5Live will also have full

:16:16. > :16:20.commentary on England against Uruguay on Thursday night. We can

:16:21. > :16:26.get the latest from the camp through the eyes of Raheem Sterling and

:16:27. > :16:31.Frank Lampard. For me as a young player, starting at the tournament,

:16:32. > :16:35.when he told me, I was nervous but I thought it was a great opportunity

:16:36. > :16:40.to show the footballing world what I can do. Some of the stuff he does

:16:41. > :16:44.with the ball, I try to take little things from his play and learn from

:16:45. > :16:49.that. He is a world-class player, someone I look up to. They are both

:16:50. > :16:53.fantastic players and I think the manager will want to get the best

:16:54. > :17:00.out of the team. To do that, you get the best out of individuals. Lots of

:17:01. > :17:08.glimpses from them the other day. It is up to manager to -- the manager

:17:09. > :17:12.to decide at the end of the day, but with his vision and passing ability

:17:13. > :17:17.and my running ability, it could be a really good thing. If you take

:17:18. > :17:21.Wayne's name away, look at his workrate, his work leading up to the

:17:22. > :17:25.goal, we are looking for something we don't need to dwell on. We have

:17:26. > :17:32.fixations on one player in every World Cup, the ones I have been

:17:33. > :17:35.involved in, and it is frustrating when you are in the group when

:17:36. > :17:39.happens, because we are trying to play together and a fixation with

:17:40. > :17:45.one player can become a different agenda and we need to drop the

:17:46. > :17:48.agenda. The only thing I can say is we will prepare like it is a cup

:17:49. > :17:52.final, shut off everything else, train hard and focus and play like

:17:53. > :17:56.you should play every game at this level, but this is particularly a

:17:57. > :18:00.cup final for us because there are repercussions if we lose. And no

:18:01. > :18:02.straight back to Cuiaba for repercussions if we lose. And no

:18:03. > :18:02.straight back to Cuiaba for the second half with Martin Keown and

:18:03. > :18:11.And we are poised to go, all square Steve Wilson.

:18:12. > :18:12.And we are poised to go, all square in Cuiaba and the referee

:18:13. > :18:17.And we are poised to go, all square Argentina gets us back under way.

:18:18. > :18:18.And we are poised to go, all square South Korea in the White and the

:18:19. > :18:26.Russians all in this claret kit. South Korea in the White and the

:18:27. > :18:33.chance of the first half, a South Korea in the White and the

:18:34. > :18:35.really didn't create very much. I don't think Fabio Capello can have

:18:36. > :18:45.been Fayzulin with an early shot. That

:18:46. > :18:49.would suggest Capello has said he wants more. It is an early intention

:18:50. > :19:02.of surely an improvement. goalkeeper makes a right meal of it.

:19:03. > :19:11.-- but. It shouldn't have been the hardest save in the world.

:19:12. > :19:18.Headed into the side netting by Berezoutski. It was a good header,

:19:19. > :19:22.it was the run. Almost Berezoutski. It was a good header,

:19:23. > :19:32.timing, making a run across the box but can't steer it in. 70 seconds of

:19:33. > :19:40.the second half played and Russia are 100% better. Absolutely. It is

:19:41. > :19:46.hot here but you have to demand more of yourself. I have played in lots

:19:47. > :19:48.of good teams in hot conditions and you had to demand more of the people

:19:49. > :20:14.around you. This is where they have got to move

:20:15. > :20:18.the ball more quickly. No point going back to the goalkeeper, you

:20:19. > :20:22.take the pressure off. Moving quickly with two touches, you can do

:20:23. > :20:32.it in all conditions. There are no excuses. It has not been easy for

:20:33. > :20:38.Park, the Russian centre-backs are big lads and he hasn't had a huge

:20:39. > :20:40.amount of support from the flanks. They are big lads but I don't think

:20:41. > :21:14.they are the most mobile of players. Akinfeev with not the best

:21:15. > :21:22.clearance. Koo Ja-cheol should have heated, he did well, but should have

:21:23. > :21:31.had the confidence to hit it. -- hit it. And the first Russian yellow

:21:32. > :21:36.card for Shatov. It is high, isn't it? They can be expensive, these

:21:37. > :21:56.cheap bookings. The 2010 World Cup was a significant

:21:57. > :22:01.one for South Korea. It was the first time they had gone out the

:22:02. > :22:07.group in the World Cup finals on foreign soil. They went out to

:22:08. > :22:22.Uruguay in the second round. Not a bad hit from Koo Ja-cheol,

:22:23. > :22:29.Akinfeev treated it with some respect. He put it straight into the

:22:30. > :22:31.path of another South Korean. The goalkeepers seem very slow to move,

:22:32. > :22:43.he wasn't comfortable with that. The early signs for the second half

:22:44. > :22:48.are that it is going to be better than the first. We have some

:22:49. > :22:50.excitement to look forward to. Hope so. We have probably just killed it

:22:51. > :23:25.there. Akinfeev stilted but collected just

:23:26. > :23:36.in time. There is a lot more positivity on the pitch.

:23:37. > :24:02.It was a good hit by Ki. Scored 11 in 88 for Celtic at Parkhead.

:24:03. > :24:11.There is the hugely experienced Hong Myung-bo, the manager. He is perhaps

:24:12. > :24:18.the most respected of all South Korean players, because of his

:24:19. > :24:25.longevity. Didn't Pele name him as the 125th best player ever in the

:24:26. > :24:30.world? He did. Would you? He did score a very important penalty to

:24:31. > :24:36.get them into the semifinal in 2002, but apart from that, maybe not.

:24:37. > :24:38.Sometimes diplomacy has a lot to do with what Pele says, and where he is

:24:39. > :24:59.at the particular time. That man Son again, he has got pace.

:25:00. > :25:07.He causes problems, every part of the pitch he goes into. He's only

:25:08. > :25:13.21, so he got time on his side. He has at a good club -- he's at a good

:25:14. > :25:19.club in a goodly, Bayer Leverkusen. They are not in any rush to take

:25:20. > :25:41.this one. Difficult to keep them down, you're

:25:42. > :25:51.better off whipping it the near post.

:25:52. > :26:01.Russia's best performance in a World Cup came in England in 1966, the

:26:02. > :26:06.semifinalists. Some interesting gear out there, especially from the South

:26:07. > :26:17.Korean firms, who are nothing if not weird, but enthusiastic. Why did

:26:18. > :26:23.Kombarov stick his boot there? Was it Fayzulin? He seemed to put his

:26:24. > :26:38.foot in over the ball. Then Kombarov arrived.

:26:39. > :26:46.If he has his hands on his hips, does he want to play?

:26:47. > :26:52.I think that is where the work is to be spent with this team, they have

:26:53. > :27:00.Belgium of next and you cannot give the ball away that easily against

:27:01. > :27:09.els back at the late Belgium. Obviously, in 1966, Russia were part

:27:10. > :27:30.of the Soviet Union, rather than competing on their own.

:27:31. > :27:56.The first change is afoot. Maliki home is getting ready, he is a

:27:57. > :28:01.striker. -- Lee Keun-ho. Hong Myung-bo is the first of

:28:02. > :28:06.striker. -- Lee Keun-ho. Hong Park Chu-young could be the player

:28:07. > :28:12.who would be favourite to come off, I would imagine, given that Lee

:28:13. > :28:21.Keun-ho is an out and out centre forward. It is going to be Park.

:28:22. > :28:32.Assessment of him? He wasn't in the game, really. Yes, he was making

:28:33. > :28:37.runs into wide positions, but he doesn't really look like a centre

:28:38. > :28:41.forward. He doesn't look big enough or imposing enough. Disappointing.

:28:42. > :28:45.Some say he was lucky to be here at all. Leakey

:28:46. > :28:49.Some say he was lucky to be here at missed out on a 20 cents squad --

:28:50. > :29:28.Leakey he's clever, he has drawn the free

:29:29. > :29:38.kick. The perspiration hasn't done the referee's hair any favours, has

:29:39. > :29:47.it? Bit of a comb over. Akinfeev on his post and on his toes. Kim

:29:48. > :30:11.Young-gwon getting a word in his ear from Son.

:30:12. > :30:16.lucky second time. He did that a few minutes ago. Have you ever seen a

:30:17. > :30:27.goalkeeper dropped the ball much? Just wondering if he collided with

:30:28. > :30:38.the post here. It is a decent strike. But the goalkeeper, awful,

:30:39. > :30:43.isn't it? I think he must have done. Maybe it is just the way he landed.

:30:44. > :30:50.He hurdled by pro three and just bumped into the right-hand post. --

:30:51. > :30:53.hurdled Akinfeev. But the goalkeeper nearly made a big hole with his

:30:54. > :31:01.right arm and the ball merely went through it. It should be food and

:31:02. > :31:05.drink for him from there. You have got to test him. I haven't had

:31:06. > :31:14.nearly enough shots in this game. It is his fourth tournament, Akinfeev,

:31:15. > :31:21.his fourth major tournament. He went to Euro 2012 without playing. But he

:31:22. > :31:26.did play in Euro 2008. This is his first World Cup. And I'm not

:31:27. > :31:41.surprised... There is an imminent Russian substitution.

:31:42. > :31:48.Alan Dzagoev is about to come on. He has lost form. Been branded as

:31:49. > :31:55.something of a playboy. He is 24 years old today actually. He is

:31:56. > :32:00.about to come on. Oleg Shatov is coming off. You saw him play

:32:01. > :32:05.recently in a friendly you were impressed? He came on in that game

:32:06. > :32:11.at half-time. He can add something to the team. He likes to break from

:32:12. > :32:16.midfield. Very confident man. For me, he should have been started from

:32:17. > :32:25.the Here he off. Is. First chance to get involved in the game. Strong

:32:26. > :32:54.challenge. Samedov thought he was pushed. The

:32:55. > :33:07.referee didn't. Ignashevich, with the header.

:33:08. > :33:35.Blasted on by Han Kook-young. South Korea, left-back, a long way

:33:36. > :33:40.from home. He has a free-kick. Yeshchenko knocked him over. At long

:33:41. > :33:49.last. Breaking forward with some purpose. He gets his reward.

:33:50. > :33:57.Free-kick, in a good position. Yeshchenko with the foul. I imagine

:33:58. > :34:12.Ki Sung-yueng will take it. Son Heung-min is having a word. They

:34:13. > :34:16.have been doing this for years in South America, lines on free-kick.

:34:17. > :34:22.That looked short o to me. I have seen one or two that look long. Not

:34:23. > :34:29.the straightest. In goes the free-kick.

:34:30. > :35:04.Nicely done. This is Samedov. Blocked inside the penalty area.

:35:05. > :35:13.Haven't got this away. Hit by Kombarov. Goalkeeper. Neither

:35:14. > :35:22.goalkeeper has covered them snefs glory with long shots coming their

:35:23. > :35:32.way. They have kept them out. This is all you can say. Russia have

:35:33. > :35:38.upped their tempo since Dzagoev came on. He is the link player. The ball

:35:39. > :35:43.that came in. Great cross. He could get a bit more power on that. Seems

:35:44. > :36:05.to lose his footing. A man down for South Korea. It's Hong 's Hong

:36:06. > :36:10.Jeong-ho. Cramp already. Getting treatment the Russians are the first

:36:11. > :36:23.to come to the near side to get a drink. Russia play Belgium next.

:36:24. > :36:38.A big Fan Park in Cuiaba. A lot of the Brazilian woos have been down

:36:39. > :36:47.there watching the Brazil v Mexico game. Which finished 0-0, as we are

:36:48. > :36:54.here. Nice stadium. It reminds me of the stadium in Genoa. Very similar.

:36:55. > :37:06.I had a great night there. Won a semi-final many years ago. Penalty

:37:07. > :37:11.shoot-out. It certainly was. Is that the one where we beat Parma or went

:37:12. > :37:22.on to lose? Where we went on to lose, I'm afraid. Yeah. Thanks for

:37:23. > :37:30.reminding me! From the half-way line back in 95, I think. Lee Yong with

:37:31. > :37:47.this throw. Wasted. The throw-in from Russia. Such a

:37:48. > :37:54.difference really to many World Cup's this opening phase of matches,

:37:55. > :37:56.in many World Cup we have seen the Group matches to be Kayingy.

:37:57. > :37:59.in many World Cup we have seen the lot of goals. Everyone wants to

:38:00. > :38:03.avoid defeat. Like this lot of goals. Everyone wants to

:38:04. > :38:05.two like that in this World Cup. Generally speaking it has not been

:38:06. > :38:09.the case in 2014? Generally speaking it has not been

:38:10. > :38:13.play that expressive football, get forward.

:38:14. > :38:23.play that expressive football, get Europe, we

:38:24. > :38:29.play that expressive football, get watch. Last of the

:38:30. > :38:32.play that expressive football, get games. Cuiaba, 0-0. Long-range

:38:33. > :38:38.effort's so far have been the closest things we have had really to

:38:39. > :38:41.breaking the deadlock. Belgium winning earlier today in this Group

:38:42. > :38:45.against Algeria. winning earlier today in this Group

:38:46. > :38:50.enough in that game to suggest that they can move on with confidence to

:38:51. > :38:57.their remaining matches against these two nations here.

:38:58. > :39:07.That's a great ball in. Really was. The goalkeeper did well,

:39:08. > :39:10.That's a great ball in. Really was. Sung-ryong. Not away yet. The

:39:11. > :39:20.goalkeeper has to come and get this. He didn't. I think he's a little bit

:39:21. > :39:21.fortunate. Kombarov, this is a great ball. In fairness to the

:39:22. > :39:28.fortunate. Kombarov, this is a great That is him at his best. Confident

:39:29. > :39:32.and deals with it well. This one, when it's hanging in the world, he

:39:33. > :39:37.gets caught underneath it, yes, it's a foul. He looks very

:39:38. > :39:38.gets caught underneath it, yes, it's at That ball times. In from Kombarov

:39:39. > :39:38.bass the Capello will be expecting much more

:39:39. > :40:19.It certainly was. Capello will be expecting much more

:40:20. > :40:23.from them. Playing a blind pass around the corner. Once it goes into

:40:24. > :40:28.that midfield play you want those people to be the most technical on

:40:29. > :40:31.the pitch. It's work on the training pitch with Capello. You are all in

:40:32. > :40:51.it together. Now then it might be something on

:40:52. > :40:53.here for them. It's a goal! Igor Akinfeev has practically thrown it

:40:54. > :41:10.over his shoulder into the back of the net. Lee Keun-ho has put them in

:41:11. > :41:17.front. Talk about throwing one in. You have to shoot from distance. Him

:41:18. > :41:24.the question. Marks out of ten for the shot, you might give it

:41:25. > :41:29.six-and-a-half. Marks out of ten for the save, nil. Awful. Outside the

:41:30. > :41:33.box. It should be an easy save. His technique is all wrong. He hits it

:41:34. > :41:36.with power. Look at him there. Look, he should be taking that into his

:41:37. > :41:59.body. Shocking goalkeeping. Lee Keun-ho leaves Igor Akinfeev in

:42:00. > :42:09.the depths of despair. Will he be able to carry on? Look at him. We

:42:10. > :42:21.can see him out of shot there. He's completely discons land. -- Yeah. I

:42:22. > :42:26.have to say I think that tops the previous mistake. His handling has

:42:27. > :42:29.been awful. South Korea have the lead. They have something to defend.

:42:30. > :42:38.They have confidence oozing through them.

:42:39. > :42:45.That is a nice little ball. Kokorin waits for the header. Good ball out.

:42:46. > :42:59.It needed to be. A slightly heavy touch. South Korea

:43:00. > :43:05.have the throw-in. They have the lead. They are 20 minutes to go?

:43:06. > :43:33.Russia are going to make another change by the looks of it. Alexander

:43:34. > :43:39.Kerzhakov is going to come on. He has not been in the game. Zhirkov is

:43:40. > :44:02.off. Another South Korean player is down

:44:03. > :44:11.with cramp inside his own half. I suspect it might be Kim Young-gwon.

:44:12. > :44:15.Akinfeev can only reflect on what was a desperate, desperate moment

:44:16. > :44:20.for him. He was never comfortable in the game, was he? Really, this is

:44:21. > :44:23.just a comfortable, it should be a comfortable save.

:44:24. > :44:28.just a comfortable, it should be a nightmares about that one for the

:44:29. > :44:38.rest of his career. Capello is making another change, as we watch

:44:39. > :44:52.the goal again. Igor Denisov coming on. Glushakov replaced by the dynamo

:44:53. > :45:27.Moscow man. I don't think he will be able to go on here.

:45:28. > :45:30.defender. Plays in the J lead. Scored against Great Britain in the

:45:31. > :46:14.Olympics in the quarterfinals. Their first thought is to go

:46:15. > :46:18.backwards at the moment. Still 18 minutes to go. They need that

:46:19. > :46:24.reaction in the Russian team, where are their leaders now? Capello has

:46:25. > :46:26.made that change, it is all or nothing. Denisov will sit in front

:46:27. > :46:56.of the midfield. It is 1-1! Kerzhakov, only on the

:46:57. > :47:00.pitch a matter of two minutes. Russia's old faithful pops up with

:47:01. > :47:07.yet another goal. Who says you are too old for this World Cup? It is a

:47:08. > :47:13.so many bodies in the box. Great so many bodies in the box. Great

:47:14. > :47:24.ball across. The goalkeeper parries it. He swivels and it is a great

:47:25. > :47:32.finish in the end. Good feet from Dzagoev. Kerzhakov standing for five

:47:33. > :47:41.yards in front of an empty net was not going to miss. Couldn't believe

:47:42. > :47:53.his luck, could he, Kerzhakov? How happy is Akinfeev?

:47:54. > :48:01.It has been a World Cup of teams coming from behind to win. Capello

:48:02. > :48:06.had to do that, he has made the change, they are playing with two up

:48:07. > :48:11.top. It will be interesting to see with the tactics, if he keeps going

:48:12. > :48:15.for it. Is could be a really good last 15 minutes. -- this could. I

:48:16. > :48:35.know it is late, but stick with us. Dzagoev is looking for the throw, he

:48:36. > :49:13.is lively. Yes, good movement. South Korea are worried now.

:49:14. > :49:21.Just giving a bit more now, both teams going for it. I am still

:49:22. > :49:24.worried about this Russian goalkeeper. If you were South

:49:25. > :50:06.Korean, you will want to shoot from distance.

:50:07. > :50:21.He gives them that bit of extra, Dzagoev, with the probing runs he

:50:22. > :50:24.makes. I don't think it is a lack of town --

:50:25. > :50:27.makes. I don't think it is a lack of the side, it is a lack of

:50:28. > :50:36.application and reliability, but he gives them a spark and his

:50:37. > :50:40.application and reliability, but he in this game. Shatov had done

:50:41. > :50:49.application and reliability, but he but he is workmanlike. Dzagoev is a

:50:50. > :50:54.application and reliability, but he edge. It is who wants it most now.

:50:55. > :51:42.The conditions will be hurting the players. Who is bravest?

:51:43. > :51:57.South Korea must make sure they test Akinfeev again in the last 12

:51:58. > :52:10.minutes of the game. It is a corner. Lee Keun-ho, just

:52:11. > :52:12.wondering if he has run offside. It is a great run, he has done more

:52:13. > :52:22.probing. Surely they will with this one in

:52:23. > :53:09.and test the keeper? I was surprised they took the last one short.

:53:10. > :53:20.That was a good save from him, the way he has played in this game.

:53:21. > :53:30.A great end to this game. Certainly end to end stuff now.

:53:31. > :53:38.If you look up at the floodlights at the stadium, right at the southern

:53:39. > :53:43.edge of the Amazon, right in the middle of South America, there are

:53:44. > :53:46.bugs attracted to the light, some of them are practically the size of

:53:47. > :54:41.Seagulls. I don't know what they are.

:54:42. > :54:54.He is confident. He was a hell of a long way out. Here is the goal. The

:54:55. > :55:01.goalkeeper perhaps should be doing better. And he is not going to miss

:55:02. > :55:06.that. The defender was possibly saying it was handball by Eshchenko

:55:07. > :55:12.when it hit him in the midriff and failed to Kerzhakov. Things happened

:55:13. > :55:16.quickly, too quickly for the referee to see. I am not convinced it was

:55:17. > :55:33.anyway. So with seven or eight minutes to

:55:34. > :55:37.go, Kim Bo Kyung of Cardiff City is going to come on. I'm not sure who

:55:38. > :55:45.they were planning on taking off, but Han Kook-young looks like he is

:55:46. > :55:47.favourite, given that he is down on the ground having treatment. Fabio

:55:48. > :56:06.Capello feeling the heat. Are they going to be allowed to make

:56:07. > :56:15.the change? They will be unhappy if they are not.

:56:16. > :56:23.Son Heung-min is the man who is coming off. Kim Bo Kyung to replace

:56:24. > :56:34.him. South Korea are down to ten at the

:56:35. > :56:39.moment. Has the referee forgotten that Han Kook-young is off the

:56:40. > :56:45.pitch? I think he has. He is desperate to get back on the pitch.

:56:46. > :56:50.He has forgotten him. I think he has. Now he has seen him. On he

:56:51. > :56:58.comes. He just hasn't got enough in his

:56:59. > :57:05.game, Kokorin. Can't He just hasn't got enough in his

:57:06. > :57:17.the defender, lacks that real top-quality pace.

:57:18. > :57:21.Time to try and get some oxygen in your lungs, if you are out there

:57:22. > :57:30.with seven minutes to go. Cramp again. Ujah -- Koo Ja-cheol. I

:57:31. > :57:57.have been impressed with him. Good atmosphere, a real sort of

:57:58. > :58:35.party atmosphere This is what you have got to do,

:58:36. > :58:37.keep moving the ball quickly. The South Koreans could never be accused

:58:38. > :59:13.of not working hard. Everybody is running away from him,

:59:14. > :59:25.he needs somebody to come short. Kerzhakov wants it into feet. Russia

:59:26. > :00:53.have Kerzhakov wants it into feet. Russia

:00:54. > :01:14.ball. Russian throw. Kerzhakov wants it into feet. Russia

:01:15. > :01:21.quicker for me. The header over the top of the crossbar from Kokorin.

:01:22. > :01:46.Kokorin again, just in there too early. Can't get over it.

:01:47. > :02:16.Denisov plays everything backwards or side ways.

:02:17. > :02:24.Little flick. Two in the middle. That's Kokorin.

:02:25. > :02:38.That was better, wasn't it? Yes. Semenov forced him to go after it.

:02:39. > :02:48.Denisov, optimistic. That is a really poor ball.

:02:49. > :03:13.Conceded a free-kick. It's taken quickly. Too quickly for the

:03:14. > :03:18.referee's liking. He is going to book him. I think it's handball

:03:19. > :03:23.there. A minimum of four added minutes.

:03:24. > :03:32.Koo, booked. Russia looking like the team more inclined to win this game.

:03:33. > :03:42.Definitely. They have gone with that extra striker.

:03:43. > :03:50.Is it going to be another one of these long-range efforts the

:03:51. > :03:55.goalkeeper fumbles into the net. Well, neither goalkeeper has made

:03:56. > :04:05.much of a claim for the old Golden Glove award. So far!

:04:06. > :04:16.Russia have six now on the edge of the South Korean penalty area. A

:04:17. > :04:34.dink ball in. Straight on to a South Korean head.

:04:35. > :04:40.Can't think why they don't want to go into the front. They don't want

:04:41. > :04:45.to go into midfield. They have two strikers, they can play that long

:04:46. > :04:51.ball in. Happy to keep the ball at the back, two Russian central

:04:52. > :05:02.defenders. Concede d a free-kick now. It will be a relief to the

:05:03. > :05:08.South Korean defence. Kim yong won. Long, why not. A chance for a shot.

:05:09. > :05:10.Not for long. Denisov, good challenge. They will launch a

:05:11. > :05:16.counter-attack. He goes back to Berezutski to

:05:17. > :05:53.Ignashevich. Berezutski. Samedov. Too slow. Too predictable.

:05:54. > :05:58.They keep wanting to go back. Well see there. , there was no option at

:05:59. > :06:04.all. Lashed it out of see there. , there was no option at

:06:05. > :06:07.Russian throw. If there is going to be a winner it will be a late, late,

:06:08. > :06:30.late show. That's a nice ball. Kokorin. It was

:06:31. > :06:33.a chance. Samedov, at the back post, lacked control, lacked compose sure

:06:34. > :06:36.and slumps to his knees. Kokorin making

:06:37. > :06:45.and slumps to his knees. Kokorin there. It is one hell of a finish.

:06:46. > :06:51.Kerzhakov is not happy. He is trying to score. Difficult to do it from

:06:52. > :06:58.that angle. A let-off for Hong Myung-bo and South Korea. It looks

:06:59. > :07:02.like a draw. Which probably, Martin, over the course of the game you

:07:03. > :07:07.would say is about right? Both teams have almost played for a draw at

:07:08. > :07:11.times. I don't know how much these conditions are affecting the

:07:12. > :07:16.players, but lack of tempo throughout the night. Alexander

:07:17. > :07:23.Kerzhakov came on and reminded Fabio Capello what he is capable of with a

:07:24. > :07:29.26th international goal. That after Igor Akinfeev had made a horrible

:07:30. > :07:37.hash of Lee Keun-ho's shot. The last of the first round Group games end

:07:38. > :07:43.in a draw in Group H. It ends Russia 1, South Korea 1.

:07:44. > :07:50.After both games in the Group were played today. We will show you the

:07:51. > :07:55.Belgium goals with their win over Algeria before we go off air

:07:56. > :08:00.tonight. That is how the Group stands:

:08:01. > :08:08.if you win this Group you are likely to avoid Germany in the second

:08:09. > :08:14.round. We got there in the end. The last 25 minutes were enjoyable? ?

:08:15. > :08:18.I've never seen such elation from three people when a goal went in. As

:08:19. > :08:22.if we were watching England or Ireland. It was a better

:08:23. > :08:26.second-half. More chances. Bit more invention. The Russians were a bit

:08:27. > :08:30.better, not great. They played with a bit more, what is the word,

:08:31. > :08:35.intensity. I think that, overall, probably a draw was about fair. At

:08:36. > :08:39.least it got better. If you look at the South Korean coach's press

:08:40. > :08:42.conference yesterday, he said he thought both teams would play not to

:08:43. > :08:46.lose. It was their opening Group match. You could kind of tell that

:08:47. > :08:52.until past the hour mark? It looked that way. No tempo to the Does that

:08:53. > :08:56.game. Come from the manager? Yes. No question. At times you could set

:08:57. > :09:01.your team out to play a high-tempo pressing game. None of that. Both

:09:02. > :09:05.teams backed off as soon as they lost procession got behind the ball

:09:06. > :09:10.and made it difficult for both teams to play through them. -- possession.

:09:11. > :09:13.Russia will be happier because they were a goal behind, weren't playing

:09:14. > :09:18.well. Substitutionle comes on. Gets the goal. A record. That might give

:09:19. > :09:24.them some sort of solace from a game were they were poor for most of it.

:09:25. > :09:28.Russia didn't react to the 68th minute when they went a goal down.

:09:29. > :09:31.They brought Kerzhakov on and had two upfront. The wide many got

:09:32. > :09:34.forward. They were an attacking force. The first time in the game

:09:35. > :09:37.they showed any kind of adventure. Let us talk about Akinfeev. We have

:09:38. > :10:29.to be grateful he committed the He didn't give us any indication he

:10:30. > :10:34.would say that. Horrific mistake. I feel for him. I do feel for him. It

:10:35. > :10:43.kicked them into life. He did them a favour. There are comments on

:10:44. > :10:50.#bbcworldcup. All pointing out the same thing. Fabio Capello must have

:10:51. > :10:55.had a real sense of deja vu when Akinfeev did that. If you go back

:10:56. > :10:59.four years. Robert Green against the USA. It can happen. Coincidence. The

:11:00. > :11:03.worrying thing with Fabio Capello with that Russian team is that there

:11:04. > :11:05.doesn't seem to be too much energy and pace in it. Even the lad that

:11:06. > :11:09.came on and and pace in it. Even the lad that

:11:10. > :11:15.the record, not the quickest. Not a 90-minute man, that is why he is on

:11:16. > :11:19.cause the Belgiums any problems in the next game. We will show the

:11:20. > :11:24.Russian goal in a minute. We haven't done this for a while. We can hear

:11:25. > :11:32.from Fabio Capello. Fabio, do you see that as two points dropped or a

:11:33. > :11:36.point gained? Well, look, the game is good game. They ran a lot

:11:37. > :11:43.point gained? Well, look, the game first half. At the end was very

:11:44. > :11:48.tired. The goal, they score it, it's not easy the reaction. Players was

:11:49. > :11:53.really good. This was really important for me. The reaction. We

:11:54. > :11:57.had the chances to score the second goal two times. This is football. A

:11:58. > :12:01.great substitution to bring on Kerzhakov. Scored

:12:02. > :12:05.great substitution to bring on coming on? I know. Kerzhakov,

:12:06. > :12:12.fantastic player. The Also, he got always the chance to score goal.

:12:13. > :12:15.Fabio Capello. Kerzhakov came on in the 71st minute, scored in the 74th.

:12:16. > :12:24.First touch. Who wants to look at the Kerzhakov goal? Don't all fight

:12:25. > :12:26.at once! He has been around a long time. Sometimes you need a poacher.

:12:27. > :12:29.They put the pressure on more time. Sometimes you need a poacher.

:12:30. > :12:33.more after they went a goal down. They keep it in there. Not a bad

:12:34. > :12:38.save. You need luck, which they get there from the chest. He is just

:12:39. > :12:42.onside. A poacher's goal. A decent move. A few times in the first half

:12:43. > :12:45.getting into the pockets on the right hand side of the box. They

:12:46. > :12:49.didn't make the most of the opportunities. On this occasion they

:12:50. > :12:55.did. Decent strike. Keeper gets down. Unfortunate where the ball

:12:56. > :13:00.lands. He is on. There is a huge amount of luck involved. They earned

:13:01. > :13:03.their luck. Have you to give Capello credit for making the substitution.

:13:04. > :13:07.They were more positive when Kerzhakov came on the pitch. And the

:13:08. > :13:11.change of formation when you have two strikers it gives you something

:13:12. > :13:14.to hit. When you are playing well it's easy to miss out the midfield.

:13:15. > :13:19.Their energy went up. It was strange the reaction. You are in a World Cup

:13:20. > :13:21.first Group game. They should have been like that at the beginning.

:13:22. > :13:26.That shot there. Four Russian players in the box. In the first

:13:27. > :13:33.half there was only one. Kerzhakov was on hand to score. 26 goals,

:13:34. > :13:36.level as the all-time leading scorer in international football for

:13:37. > :13:41.Russia. They had the best chance in that second-half did Russia. Whilst

:13:42. > :13:46.it was still 0-0. The header from Berezutski. Fantastic run from

:13:47. > :13:51.Berezutski. I'm looking at the nearpost. That is the area of the

:13:52. > :13:56.pitch. Have you to attack the ball. Look at it, he doesn't want to head

:13:57. > :14:02.the ball. His neck went in a bit. Diving for corner. Berezutski made a

:14:03. > :14:06.great run. You made a good point. We were talking about zonal marking.

:14:07. > :14:11.You need to get a block on. Nobody got a block on the centre-half

:14:12. > :14:16.coming there. He got a run and jump on Ki. Ki should do better. He

:14:17. > :14:20.should go and attack the ball. He didn't want to do that. Absolutely

:14:21. > :14:25.right. Disappointing. Back to the early game in this Group. Two

:14:26. > :14:35.substitutes scoring in this group. The substitutes had a huge effect.

:14:36. > :14:41.Belgium against Algeria. Fellaini got the first. Fantastic header.

:14:42. > :14:49.This is what he is good at. Glancing header. Belgium played too short.

:14:50. > :14:52.They played with speed. They are a team that can go far in the

:14:53. > :14:57.competition if they play like they did in the Do you second-half. Think

:14:58. > :15:00.that Fellaini is best when he is us autoed more high up the pitch. They

:15:01. > :15:04.had an out ball they couldn't autoed more high up the pitch. They

:15:05. > :15:08.through with their passes. Went longer early and couldn't handle

:15:09. > :15:13.him. He is difficult to handle when he is attacking. Best when charging

:15:14. > :15:19.forward using that frame of his. He cries out for crosses all the time.

:15:20. > :15:34.Second goal was a belter. Everything about it was good. When Hazard gets

:15:35. > :15:39.turning they have runners. Mertens on the right. They are a feature of

:15:40. > :15:45.the modern game. Algeria are not a bad side. Algeria are better than

:15:46. > :15:49.the two sides we have just seen. You think Algeria could finish second?

:15:50. > :15:53.The quality of the first game was better than the quality we have seen

:15:54. > :15:57.now. The middle game today, which was involving the host nation,

:15:58. > :16:02.Brazil, they took on Mexico. Brazil could have won it, but they came up

:16:03. > :16:14.against an inspired Mexican goalkeeper this afternoon.

:16:15. > :16:18.was the best one of the day. Saying that he was brilliant, but the rest

:16:19. > :16:27.of the Mexican team wasn't bad. Went under pressure constantly, they

:16:28. > :16:36.contributed to the game. And name was Brazil's chess player -- Neymar.

:16:37. > :16:52.They had constant energy, Danny Albers was given a terrible time --

:16:53. > :16:57.Dani Alves. We did ask about whether Thiago Silva should have done better

:16:58. > :17:04.with the header. I said that because I am not very good in the air, I am

:17:05. > :17:14.not good myself, but he is a big lad and should hit the back of the net.

:17:15. > :17:24.He is lucky to be on the pitch for this. I thought it was a leg break.

:17:25. > :17:29.It is that me coming in behind. Crashes straight into Hernandez's

:17:30. > :17:41.left leg. It is a straight red card for me. I thought Hernandez reacted

:17:42. > :17:46.well, he shook Thiago Silva's hand. Cameroon and Croatia play tomorrow,

:17:47. > :17:59.whoever loses tomorrow is out. It is hypothetical but if a Mexican

:18:00. > :18:08.defender had done that on Fred is on the other foot with 80,000 fans

:18:09. > :18:14.screaming for it, it will be a red card.

:18:15. > :18:24.In my opinion, the referees seem to have done quite well. You have said

:18:25. > :18:28.that before, I don't remember the referee being talked about much

:18:29. > :18:37.apart from the first two games. So well done. Praise indeed. Day six is

:18:38. > :18:44.done and we have seen all 32 sides in action.

:18:45. > :18:53.The greatest show on earth... Another World Cup is underway.

:18:54. > :19:04.Neymar. Goal! There should be a fifth. There is a

:19:05. > :19:24.fifth. Another good cross again. And they

:19:25. > :19:39.have scored again. They have got a winner, with less

:19:40. > :20:03.than 30 seconds to play! He dances away, and his cause,

:20:04. > :20:07.Lionel Messi. -- and he scores. Thomas Muller. 1-0. 3-0, and Muller

:20:08. > :20:26.has a hat-trick. Joy for the USA.

:20:27. > :20:32.Oh, Akinfeev! The greatest show on Earth, the World Cup is underway.

:20:33. > :20:35.So as we have seen all 32 teams, we have allowed each of you to pick

:20:36. > :20:40.your favourite moment of the World Cup so far. Neill? Lionel Messi

:20:41. > :20:43.your favourite moment of the World the Maracana scoring arguably the

:20:44. > :20:48.best individual goal in the first round of games we have seen. What

:20:49. > :20:53.has pleased me most about this World Cup so far is the majority of the

:20:54. > :21:00.big players have turned up. He didn't look his best the first half,

:21:01. > :21:06.but he did second. All 75,000 people, even the Bosnians, will be

:21:07. > :21:10.happy to say they saw messy score in the Maracana. I think there is a

:21:11. > :21:14.subconscious affection for the Maracana. I think there is a

:21:15. > :21:20.there isn't for Ronaldo. He is a pure football. There is a theory

:21:21. > :21:23.that Ronaldo is more manufactured. Manufactured in the sense that he

:21:24. > :21:29.has had to work at it and work at it? Which is... There is nothing

:21:30. > :21:32.wrong with that, it is a marvellous tribute to another and we are

:21:33. > :21:36.blessed to have these two players, but there is something more pure

:21:37. > :21:43.about the way Lionel Messi place. Phil? The Robin van Persie goal. The

:21:44. > :21:51.awareness and the vision, it was a great ball. And to see Casillas off

:21:52. > :22:03.his line, the shape of his back, it was guided. That was world-class.

:22:04. > :22:10.Danny? To me, it was fresh in the memory last night, the substitute

:22:11. > :22:14.for America scoring the winner and the disbelief on his face, it

:22:15. > :22:22.epitomises the disbelief on his face, it

:22:23. > :22:24.worldwide audiences and in fantastic stadiums and he will remember that

:22:25. > :22:25.the rest of stadiums and he will remember that

:22:26. > :22:34.him. He will be showing grandkids. I stadiums and he will remember that

:22:35. > :22:38.think there has been a Brazil stadiums and he will remember that

:22:39. > :22:39.to this tournament, coaches have said you have to attack and

:22:40. > :22:44.entertainer and said you have to attack and

:22:45. > :22:51.continue. Virtually everything, barring Iran against Nigeria, is

:22:52. > :22:55.putting a smile on people's faces. The sheer joy from football, I think

:22:56. > :23:00.that is what Brazil bring to the game and everyone is joining in. The

:23:01. > :23:05.big game tomorrow night is Spain against Chile. Dan Walker has been

:23:06. > :23:09.keeping his eye on the Spanish. Welcome to the Maracana, where Spain

:23:10. > :23:15.face Chile tomorrow. They are doing some training, not giving anything

:23:16. > :23:21.away to the assembled media. Let's get an expert view, Sid Lowe from

:23:22. > :23:24.the Guardian, based in Spain. Who is going to get dropped from the

:23:25. > :23:30.Spanish side, how many changes do you think del Bosque they will make?

:23:31. > :23:36.At least two, and the slight shift in style, I think they will be a

:23:37. > :23:41.little bit more aggressive, aware that they are up against the side

:23:42. > :23:46.that would sit and wait for them. I think we will see a change at the

:23:47. > :23:49.top of the pitch, I imagine David Silva will be replaced by Pedro and

:23:50. > :23:54.I think a change in centre forward, possibly in the centre of midfield

:23:55. > :23:57.as well. Del Bosque they says he knows but he is not going

:23:58. > :24:01.as well. Del Bosque they says he Bosque says he knows but is not

:24:02. > :24:06.going to tell the players because some of them might relax too much.

:24:07. > :24:12.You think Casillas will keep his place. There is a about the style of

:24:13. > :24:29.play, so does tick attacker needed tinkerer tinker voyeuristic attacker

:24:30. > :24:32.toast? -- is tika taka toast? It is not toast, but there has to be a

:24:33. > :24:36.change, they have to be more aggressive. Del Bosque said today,

:24:37. > :24:40.Fernando Torres said, if they win in the first of the 90th minute, it

:24:41. > :24:46.makes no difference. The basic style will be the same but with some

:24:47. > :24:52.tweaks. It is not about plan B, it is making sure that plan a works

:24:53. > :24:57.perfectly. And don't forget, Spain against Chile, it is a whopper, live

:24:58. > :25:01.on the BBC tomorrow. I like Sid Lowe's inside but you

:25:02. > :25:09.were shaking your head, all three of you. There is a big inquest, because

:25:10. > :25:12.they got thumped. I saw the first 35 minutes and they dominated Holland

:25:13. > :25:19.and played really well and if David Silva goes through at 1-0 and makes

:25:20. > :25:23.it 2-0, game over and nobody says anything. Casillas has a nightmare,

:25:24. > :25:27.Robin van Persie has a couple of moments of brilliance and everyone

:25:28. > :25:31.is saying Spain are finished. They will finish second in the group and

:25:32. > :25:37.I tipped them to beat Brazil in the final. Is there a danger that you

:25:38. > :25:41.can make too many changes if you get thrashed? Del Bosque knows what his

:25:42. > :25:45.team will be tomorrow. I think Chile are suitable opponents, they can

:25:46. > :25:50.play kamikaze football at moments. Spain are still the world champions,

:25:51. > :25:57.the European champions and will come good. Phil, do you think Spain will

:25:58. > :26:00.win? Chile, I think they are my underdogs for the tournament, they

:26:01. > :26:05.are playing well and I think Spain are in a period where the old guard

:26:06. > :26:10.are on the way out. Thank you very much to all three of you. Tomorrow,

:26:11. > :26:14.we will be back in the Maracana. The last time we were there, it was

:26:15. > :26:22.messy, tomorrow, Spain will be fighting for their World Cup nights.

:26:23. > :26:36.He is onside, van Persie. What a fantastic goal! Iyengar bone, 2-1.

:26:37. > :26:43.And world champions Spain are behind in Salvador. Cracks had begun to

:26:44. > :26:52.appear. They should be a fifth, there is a fifth. Will the empire

:26:53. > :26:54.crumble? Or will they come out fighting against the might of Chile?

:26:55. > :26:57.Chile in dreamland.
