is there not an element of hope, from your point

:04:36.:04:42.

They also present. In 2002. Kaka and sonar in the crowd. Away they go. In

:04:43.:05:00.

sporting terms, it does not get any better than this. They call it the

:05:01.:05:07.

grated show on earth. The biggest game, the greatest names. Another

:05:08.:05:09.

World Cup is underway. game, the greatest names. Another

:05:10.:05:15.

World Cup is Brazil are the only side to play in every single one.

:05:16.:05:19.

David Luiz straight in with the first crunching tackle. Philip

:05:20.:05:25.

Neville is alongside me to describe the action for game number one. I

:05:26.:05:30.

know that you were as blown away as I was by the faces of the Brazilian

:05:31.:05:37.

players during the anthems. It was a spine tingling moment. Croatia are

:05:38.:05:56.

able to fire on the first shot, Luka Modric is not wasted once he has got

:05:57.:06:05.

it. It is overhead, and it is only just wide of the post for Ivica

:06:06.:06:15.

Olic, coming in. Cracking ball which got back pocket of Croatian

:06:16.:06:19.

supporters very excited. It is the first time we have seen Luka Modric

:06:20.:06:23.

in possession of the ball. That is a good, early chance for Croatia.

:06:24.:06:36.

There are two teams out there. Neymar finds Paulinho, who sets his

:06:37.:06:41.

sights, and the deflection. Paulinho, local star, Corinthians

:06:42.:06:50.

favoured before moving to Spurs. I should point out that Brazil in

:06:51.:06:54.

their final warm up in this city were booed by sections of the crowd

:06:55.:07:03.

as they beat Serbia 1-0. They do not suffer. The, the Brazilian public.

:07:04.:07:17.

That was a good ball in and it is turned into his own net by Marcelo.

:07:18.:07:23.

Croatia have the lead! The first World Cup goal in 2014 is an own

:07:24.:07:32.

goal. Ivica Olic has started the game well down the left-hand side.

:07:33.:07:38.

Nikica Jelavic dummied it and let it run, and Marcelo could only look on

:07:39.:07:43.

forlornly as the ball bounced off him and passed Julio Cesar. That is

:07:44.:07:48.

the counterattack again from Croatia. Nikica Jelavic miskicked

:07:49.:07:55.

the ball, Marcelo did not see it coming through. This was not in the

:07:56.:08:13.

script. Paulinho, pursuing Mattia, kitsch. -- Kovacic. Great ball in.

:08:14.:08:28.

It just bounced up and away from Neymar. Not quite close enough to

:08:29.:08:42.

threaten. One thing about this Croatian team, they have got great

:08:43.:08:46.

experience. Paulinho has done very well. Blasting it straight at

:08:47.:08:53.

Pletikosa. The throw-in, rather than the corner, this time. The Croatian

:08:54.:09:03.

manager said in his press Conference, he wanted to stay in the

:09:04.:09:07.

game for as long as possible and the straight Brazilian crowd. --

:09:08.:09:14.

frustrate the Brazilian crowd. Neymar keeps his balance well. This

:09:15.:09:27.

is Oscar. " we're by Pletikosa. -- beaten clear by Pletikosa. Brazil

:09:28.:09:37.

are coming now. Just get it in. It was a good shot, it was a good save

:09:38.:09:45.

by Pletikosa, from the rebound. Finding it difficult to pick up

:09:46.:09:51.

Neymar. They have not lost on opening game of a World Cup since

:09:52.:10:01.

1934. Away by Dejan Lovren. The first yellow card of the bald cup.

:10:02.:10:11.

It is shown to Neymar -- of the World Cup. The referee made sure he

:10:12.:10:19.

showed it to everybody, and the first little flash point of the

:10:20.:10:23.

World Cup, too. I do not think the Brazilians were happy with the

:10:24.:10:29.

reaction of the Brazilian players. Do not think that Luka

:10:30.:10:31.

reaction of the Brazilian players. happy with Neymar, look where his

:10:32.:10:35.

eyes are. That is what the Croatian players were complaining about.

:10:36.:10:43.

Rakitic. Excellent work from Ivan Perisic. What a good call for Nikica

:10:44.:10:49.

Jelavic. Plucked out of the air by Julio Cesar. There is Marcelo.

:10:50.:10:57.

Oscar. Twice the hold off Ivan Perisic. Tries to poke its rude to

:10:58.:11:06.

Paulinho. -- it through to. Nice little bit of skill from Neymar. And

:11:07.:11:12.

the shot, beyond the reach of Pletikosa. The boy wonder, Neymar,

:11:13.:11:28.

has was 11. A yellow shirted Number Ten scoring for Brazil in the World

:11:29.:11:31.

Cup finals. It is just right. Ten scoring for Brazil in the World

:11:32.:11:37.

just announced himself to the World Cup. Oscar did all of the donkey

:11:38.:11:42.

work. He rode two challenges in midfield. Oscar was strong in the

:11:43.:11:51.

tackle. This is what he is good at, running at the offenders. Wonderful

:11:52.:12:00.

finish. -- running at defenders. That is in the only place where

:12:01.:12:13.

strike Pletikosa cannot reach it. -- Stipe Pletikosa. Dani Alves asks

:12:14.:12:20.

Julio Cesar to come for that, and look at the Croatian appeals, they

:12:21.:12:24.

are furious. There was a nudge from Dani Alves. He went down instead,

:12:25.:12:37.

and the referee has given a penalty. He did not hesitate. He has

:12:38.:12:44.

been surrounded by furious creations. They are livid with the

:12:45.:12:54.

decision. It is a booking. Brazil get the chance to take the lead. It

:12:55.:13:03.

looked like a soft penalty. I do not think there was much tugging

:13:04.:13:06.

therefrom Dejan Lovren. Fred went down easily. Maybe why the Croatian

:13:07.:13:14.

players are surrounding the referee. That is what the referee saw, the

:13:15.:13:21.

hand on the arm. 2-1 Brazil, F Neymar scores. And he does score.

:13:22.:13:31.

Goodness me. Pletikosa very nearly kept it out. There was just too much

:13:32.:13:39.

on the shot. A relieved Cafu, and company. They rise around the

:13:40.:13:50.

ground, Brazil in front. Croatia still protesting to the referee,

:13:51.:13:54.

talking about the one where Ivica Olic went down at the other end.

:13:55.:14:02.

Brazil leading Croatia 2-1. He got two hands on the ball, politicos. He

:14:03.:14:08.

is a relieved man, Neymar. -- Pletikosa. He should be saving

:14:09.:14:15.

that. He will be disappointed with both goals that Croatia have

:14:16.:14:16.

conceded. The right rest. Oscar, lovely ball. David Luiz!

:14:17.:14:51.

GARY NEVILLE: Again, we see Oscar getting a cross in from the right.

:14:52.:15:12.

The flag is being waved, and more cause for Croatian complaint. We see

:15:13.:15:23.

it a lot nowadays in football, the goalkeepers get the benefit of the

:15:24.:15:24.

doubt. David Luiz takes no chances with the

:15:25.:15:44.

clearance. I think Julio Cesar saw that late.

:15:45.:15:50.

Good shot! Chance may be full Brozovic. David Luiz was in the way.

:15:51.:15:59.

It is a nervous looking Brazil now. Four minutes added on. Rakitic is

:16:00.:16:19.

dispossessed, and Oscar goes on to score! Brazil win their opening game

:16:20.:16:28.

of the 2014 World Cup! At the bottom of the pile is a boy

:16:29.:16:46.

from Sao Paulo, in his home city, sending those people home happy.

:16:47.:16:54.

PHIL NEVILLE: It came after a good chance at the other end for Croatia.

:16:55.:17:00.

Oscar was under immense pressure tonight, the Brazilian media did not

:17:01.:17:07.

want him in the starting XI. Similar to the first goal, goalkeeper

:17:08.:17:15.

Pletikosa went down slowly. He went down in stages. Take nothing away

:17:16.:17:18.

from Oscar, he has been top draw tonight. And you can really feel the

:17:19.:17:33.

emotion now. I think you might fancy Croatia to come back from this and

:17:34.:17:38.

qualify for the last 16. You would strongly fancied Brazil the World

:17:39.:17:43.

Cup is being billed in this country as the Neymar show, and he has got

:17:44.:17:47.

it after the start they wanted tonight. There was a scare with that

:17:48.:18:02.

Marcelo own goal. The penalty given against Lovren gave Brazil the lead,

:18:03.:18:04.

and Oscar rounded it off. The second game in that group is

:18:05.:18:33.

tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock. Danny Murphy, the Croatian boss

:18:34.:18:38.

said, if that is how we start the World Cup, we had better give up and

:18:39.:18:43.

go home. We talk about respect, that was not respect, Croatia did not get

:18:44.:18:47.

any. He thought they deserved something out of it. Yes, I think

:18:48.:18:54.

they were well organised, dangerous on the counterattack, they worked

:18:55.:18:59.

tirelessly, the two lads in central midfield, Modric and Rakitic, were

:19:00.:19:03.

outstanding. With a bit more luck from the referee, and their

:19:04.:19:06.

goalkeeper playing better, they might have got a point. The second

:19:07.:19:16.

question happens to be an elbows - was Neymar lucky to still be on the

:19:17.:19:21.

pitch? Yes, he was very, very lucky. If that was any other team, maybe

:19:22.:19:24.

any other player, then they are seeing red. He actually looks at

:19:25.:19:31.

him. I know he does not swing his elbow, but he looks at Modric, and

:19:32.:19:37.

that is why he is guilty. And that is why he is very, very lucky. It

:19:38.:19:41.

should have been a straight red card. He could have had no

:19:42.:19:44.

complaints whatsoever. And two minutes later, he gets the goal. I

:19:45.:19:53.

think the goalkeeper should do better, he should move his feet

:19:54.:19:56.

quicker, but it is a decent finish. He is a lucky guy. If we are going

:19:57.:20:03.

to see a lot of sides playing 4-2-3-1 in this World Cup, there is

:20:04.:20:07.

going to be a lot of discussion about the role of the one. If you

:20:08.:20:13.

look at the touch maps involving that one, Fred, he touches the ball

:20:14.:20:23.

seven times in that first half. Neymar had 43. So, what should the

:20:24.:20:30.

role of the one be? He has too occupied the two centre halves,

:20:31.:20:36.

staying high up pitch. But for me, Fred looked a little bit off the

:20:37.:20:48.

pace today. He had an average game, let's say. I think when Scolari look

:20:49.:20:53.

back at the DVD of that game, he will want and expect a lot more from

:20:54.:20:57.

the centre forward. But there is more to that role than just touching

:20:58.:21:03.

the ball? Seven touches! If I am playing in a game with Brazil, and

:21:04.:21:08.

the amount of possession they have, and I only get seven touches in 45

:21:09.:21:12.

minutes, I would be asking myself, should I and could I be doing more?

:21:13.:21:18.

And I think in the first half, he could have. He won the penalty. Yes,

:21:19.:21:27.

which was there were lots of incidents which the referee got

:21:28.:21:31.

wrong, unfortunately, and this was the worst of them all. To go down so

:21:32.:21:36.

theatrically is basically saying that it is not a penalty to me. None

:21:37.:21:41.

of us believe it was a penalty. Even on first viewing, we thought, that

:21:42.:21:46.

is not a penalty. And the replays showed just that. Again, the

:21:47.:21:53.

goalkeeper should save this. It is a poor penalty, he gets two hands to

:21:54.:22:00.

it. Really, for the first two goals, the goalkeeper has to look at

:22:01.:22:07.

himself. As players, one reviewer has said, Fred played for the

:22:08.:22:12.

penalty, the referee has seen their hand on the shoulder... If that is

:22:13.:22:19.

the case, then you are going to get ten penalties per game, if you get a

:22:20.:22:22.

penalty for somebody putting a hand on a shirt. And what about the

:22:23.:22:28.

disallowed goal, where they hard done-by for that as well? For me,

:22:29.:22:32.

they were, for sure. It has got worse and worse as the years go by,

:22:33.:22:39.

the protection of goalkeepers. Olic at the back post gets a full head on

:22:40.:22:42.

the ball and does not even really make contact with the goalkeeper. It

:22:43.:22:50.

is a great leap and a really good header back. You are asking the

:22:51.:22:54.

wrong person, because goalkeepers get far too much protection! You go

:22:55.:23:00.

near the goalkeeper and they get a foul, unfortunately. I think the

:23:01.:23:05.

referee had a very poor game. There is a lot of this one says, we may as

:23:06.:23:11.

well hand Brazil the World Cup now if they are going to get decisions

:23:12.:23:15.

like this. Is it a noncontact sport? Any team that wins the World

:23:16.:23:22.

Cup will need some luck along the line, and maybe Brazil got theirs

:23:23.:23:28.

tonight. What was not luck was when they changed their system really

:23:29.:23:31.

early, he took Neymar off the wing and put him in the number ten role,

:23:32.:23:35.

and that was good from Scolari. And moved Oscar out wide, and he was the

:23:36.:23:44.

best player for you? He was, yes. He played the role very well. He looked

:23:45.:23:48.

very fit, is energy levels were very high. Every time, his first thought

:23:49.:23:55.

was, can I get the ball into the middle? And he was up and down that

:23:56.:24:01.

right-hand side, a good ball into Paulinho. First thought again, he is

:24:02.:24:09.

strong, which you do not often say about him. Strong in the tackle, his

:24:10.:24:16.

performance I thought was brilliant. What was really good

:24:17.:24:21.

about Oscar for me was that, like a lot of the Brazilians early on, he

:24:22.:24:25.

was quite nervy, but he did not let it affect him. He grew in

:24:26.:24:29.

confidence, and he looked really fit and sharp. This team has been

:24:30.:24:37.

playing nonstop for four years. Again, from the right, his end

:24:38.:24:41.

product was really good, and he capped it with a great goal.

:24:42.:24:46.

ALAN SHEARER: Yes, he thoroughly deserved it. It was very direct,

:24:47.:24:53.

good, old-fashioned toe poke. You do not see that very often nowadays!

:24:54.:24:57.

There is very little backlift, and he deserved it, it is an excellent

:24:58.:25:04.

finish. If those were the positives, there is a weakness which you

:25:05.:25:06.

highlighted during the Confederations Cup which you still

:25:07.:25:12.

think is there tonight? The first thought of a defender should be to

:25:13.:25:17.

defend. Now, it works for them having the full-backs so high, but

:25:18.:25:23.

it works against them. You're right full-back is able to do this, that

:25:24.:25:29.

is the great side about it. This is a massive disadvantage, and teams

:25:30.:25:34.

will try and pick up on it. Look at his position. Now, Thiago Silva has

:25:35.:25:41.

to come out to fill in the space where the right full-back should

:25:42.:25:46.

have been. That is the warning. Five or six minutes later, look at Alves,

:25:47.:25:52.

not where he is! He is a full-back! Croatia, to their credit, spotted

:25:53.:25:59.

it. They go straight down the left-hand side. Thiago Silva has to

:26:00.:26:07.

come out to Olic. Again, good ball in.

:26:08.:26:13.

come out to Olic. Again, good ball did not heed it. Teams will look to

:26:14.:26:15.

exploit that, because it is a weakness for them. What is also

:26:16.:26:21.

disappointing is his recovery at times. Sometimes it is as if he was

:26:22.:26:28.

playing in a friendly. They are going to play like that, no doubt,

:26:29.:26:32.

because they did it last year in the Confederations Cup. Teams will

:26:33.:26:35.

definitely look at that and counterattack. You can get at the

:26:36.:26:46.

Brazilian defence. Moving away from the game, and just taking a look out

:26:47.:26:54.

of the window, you can see all the red lines of the police cars behind

:26:55.:26:58.

us. We were hoping that we might report on celebrations on the copper

:26:59.:27:05.

cabana Beach this evening. But the demonstrations here matched those in

:27:06.:27:10.

Sao Paulo earlier on today ahead of the game. We can speak to Tim

:27:11.:27:18.

Vickery, our South American football correspondent. You have lived here

:27:19.:27:22.

for 20 years and in these demonstrations surprise you, did you

:27:23.:27:26.

expect more celebration after the win? It surprised everyone during

:27:27.:27:32.

the Confederations Cup. No one, not even the organisers of the initial

:27:33.:27:36.

protests one year ago in magic and that hundreds of thousands of

:27:37.:27:38.

Brazilians would take to the streets during a football tournament to

:27:39.:27:43.

protest about bubble expending on a football tournament. But after it

:27:44.:27:50.

happened last year, after a political generation flexed its

:27:51.:27:52.

muscles, it was more or less inevitable that it would happen

:27:53.:28:01.

again this time around. We know the protests are about the money going

:28:02.:28:05.

to the top and not being passed down through society. There are many

:28:06.:28:13.

things in this protest movement and it goes very, very deep. But one

:28:14.:28:18.

thing which came out last year, speaking to people and watching them

:28:19.:28:23.

getting interviewed on TV, time and time again, a new generation is

:28:24.:28:26.

travelling for the first time. They go abroad and people say, Brazil,

:28:27.:28:31.

Carnival, sex, Palais. And they think, no, these things do not

:28:32.:28:37.

represent me. My country and myself, we are about much more than that. I

:28:38.:28:41.

think that is one message that perhaps the world is learning. All

:28:42.:28:46.

of the cheap stereotypes about this happy country, full of happy,

:28:47.:28:50.

dancing people, well, the reality is much more conjugated. This is still

:28:51.:28:56.

a society which, although making progress, has huge differences in

:28:57.:29:01.

life opportunities and in income. May be the big legacy of this World

:29:02.:29:05.

Cup is not so much the stadiums, perhaps it is the protest

:29:06.:29:10.

movements. You do not have a crystal ball, but would you expect these

:29:11.:29:14.

protests to be happening every day or just when Brazil are playing?

:29:15.:29:24.

They are planned for outside the stadium is in every game. How this

:29:25.:29:29.

pans out, we do not know, for sure. There are two situations that could

:29:30.:29:34.

make things worse. Number one as police overreaction and brutality,

:29:35.:29:39.

number two, the nightmare scenario for the authorities is Brazil being

:29:40.:29:42.

eliminated from the World Cup early. Usually when that happens, millions

:29:43.:29:47.

switch from the tournament. This time, disappointment with the

:29:48.:29:52.

performance of the team on the field could throw more fuel on the fire,

:29:53.:29:56.

and anger at the way that the tournament has been organised. I am

:29:57.:29:59.

not for one minute suggesting that the referee today was aware of this,

:30:00.:30:05.

but you do wonder if Brazil will get hometown decisions, even more usual

:30:06.:30:10.

than in normal World Cups, because it would be able disaster for the

:30:11.:30:16.

tournament if the home team was to be eliminated early. -- it would be

:30:17.:30:23.

a disaster. Police cars all the way round the Copacabana beach. You

:30:24.:30:26.

could hear the helicopters above us as well. It was a travel day for

:30:27.:30:32.

England as they headed to Manaus I had of the game on Saturday with

:30:33.:30:37.

Italy. Gabby Logan went as well. -- ahead. Welcome to Manaus, the

:30:38.:30:45.

gateway to the Amazon. This stadium will hopefully be the gateway to

:30:46.:30:49.

England's World Cup dreams. They take on Italy at six o'clock on

:30:50.:30:53.

Saturday. It is mid afternoon right now. The temperature is in the

:30:54.:30:59.

mid-20s, humidity between 50-60%. It is cooler inside the stadium than it

:31:00.:31:04.

is outside. England will have arrived from their base in Rio de

:31:05.:31:09.

Janeiro, pleasantly surprised at conditions. It does not feel like it

:31:10.:31:12.

will be impossible to play in, for 90 minutes. They will have three

:31:13.:31:22.

minister take on liquids and make sure that they are hydrated. You can

:31:23.:31:30.

see these brown patches on the page. We saw a gentleman trying to turn

:31:31.:31:34.

those little bit more green. -- on the pitch. The surface seems quite

:31:35.:31:42.

even. I'm sure that when England get here for the first training session

:31:43.:31:44.

they will be pleasantly surprised compared to the riches that they

:31:45.:31:49.

have seen. It is a beautiful stadium, the light is fantastic. It

:31:50.:31:56.

will be dark when England play. It seems like there might have been a

:31:57.:32:02.

lot of talk about nothing. England are training some distance from

:32:03.:32:05.

here, and the news is that Danny Welbeck is training as well.

:32:06.:32:08.

Everything is going in the right direction for Roy Hodgson right now.

:32:09.:32:13.

Before they travel to Manaus, Gabby Logan caught up with Rickie Lambert.

:32:14.:32:21.

My goodness, he has scored on his debutant scoring for England at

:32:22.:32:26.

Wembley against Scotland. Do you know the significance of this? It is

:32:27.:32:33.

your first ever 90 minutes of professional football for

:32:34.:32:37.

Macclesfield Town. How the hell did you find this? That would be

:32:38.:32:43.

telling. It is some journey that has gone on between now and then. To say

:32:44.:32:50.

the least. It seems like a long time ago. Do you pinch yourself sometimes

:32:51.:32:56.

when you look around this place and you are on the bus going to

:32:57.:33:02.

training? I really have. All the dreams I had as a kid it did not

:33:03.:33:06.

seem like they were coming true, but in the space of one year, they have

:33:07.:33:13.

all happened. England lead 2-0, Rickie Lambert with the second goal.

:33:14.:33:18.

You are probably enjoying this more than an 18-year-old 19-year-old.

:33:19.:33:24.

Definitely. I am glad that my career has worked out like this because I

:33:25.:33:27.

do not think I would have enjoyed it as much as that age, to get the best

:33:28.:33:32.

out of all the emotions and excitement. I am made up. Do you lie

:33:33.:33:43.

in bed at night thinking about what it is like to play in the World Cup?

:33:44.:33:50.

Like any of us, I have thought about that all of my life. I did not think

:33:51.:33:56.

that this chance would come to play in the World Cup, but I have got it.

:33:57.:34:01.

I will make sure that I take my chance and whatever minutes I get,

:34:02.:34:05.

that is the most important thing, that is when I will be trying to do

:34:06.:34:09.

my best. We spoke about impact players, will Raheem Sterling be an

:34:10.:34:16.

impact player, or Ross Barkley? Could Rickie Lamba be an impact

:34:17.:34:21.

player? In his brief appearances so far he has played with the same

:34:22.:34:25.

calmness and levelheadedness that he did at Southampton all season. You

:34:26.:34:29.

know that if he gets a chance he can score a goal, but the great thing he

:34:30.:34:33.

brings us is the amount of options on the bench, compared to years gone

:34:34.:34:40.

by. The other thing that impact players is whether you keep it tight

:34:41.:34:44.

for 60 and then go for it, or the reverse. Nothing has changed.

:34:45.:34:51.

Substitutes have always been massively important and always will

:34:52.:34:55.

be. What we have got now when this squad, we have got a bit of

:34:56.:34:58.

everything. We have got a bit of taste. If Raheem Sterling plays he

:34:59.:35:05.

is quick, Ross Barkley can run with the ball, Rickie Lambert is not as

:35:06.:35:09.

quick but he can score. There are options. That is going to be hugely

:35:10.:35:14.

important. Also in the conditions and with the number of games, you

:35:15.:35:19.

will see many players rested in the second third game and changed

:35:20.:35:22.

around. England have got players who can come in and folders positions.

:35:23.:35:27.

We will have live coverage of England against Italy on BBC One

:35:28.:35:33.

from 10:20pm on Saturday night. Dan Walker will have all of the news

:35:34.:35:39.

from a Manaus on Saturday afternoon before the other game that day,

:35:40.:35:46.

Colombia versus Greece. So, we have seen the hosts in action tonight.

:35:47.:35:52.

What of the holders, Spain? They kick off against Holland tomorrow in

:35:53.:35:56.

Salvador tomorrow in a repeat of the final from four years ago. That is a

:35:57.:36:08.

booking. That is a booking. That was a karate kick. Right into the chest

:36:09.:36:19.

of Xabi Alonso. John Heitinga, he has got to go. It has broken for

:36:20.:36:29.

Cesc Fabregas, it is too and raise any ester, that is the goal. Spain

:36:30.:36:36.

have won the World Cup. People think the Dutch are in danger in that

:36:37.:36:41.

group, don't they, Danny? It is such a tough group. It is great because

:36:42.:36:47.

it is exciting for us to watch. I still think with the quality of

:36:48.:36:53.

Spain, people say that they are ageing but I think they have got

:36:54.:36:57.

enough to win the group. The others will fight it out. Given their

:36:58.:37:02.

record, are you surprised that Spain Mark Davis? Because I think what

:37:03.:37:07.

Brazil did last year in the Confederations Cup, that makes them

:37:08.:37:11.

favourites. You have got to respect and admire the desire from the

:37:12.:37:16.

Spanish players to keep on going and be successful. It is absolutely

:37:17.:37:20.

brilliant. They will be there or thereabouts this time round. Do you

:37:21.:37:26.

think there is a dilemma when you have been so successful, to

:37:27.:37:31.

regenerate that squad, even though you have won all those medals, to

:37:32.:37:34.

say that we're going to have to bring in someone younger? Managers

:37:35.:37:40.

will always try and evolve the team, even at international level. Spain

:37:41.:37:43.

have got the philosophy that got them those victories and the

:37:44.:37:59.

players, like Xavi. They have got a different option in Diego Costa.

:38:00.:38:02.

Whether he starts not, we will find out. He is a different option than

:38:03.:38:09.

they have had in the past. Thank you very much to Danny and Alan. The

:38:10.:38:14.

2014 World Cup is up and running. And on the pitch at least, the home

:38:15.:38:18.

nation is up and running. Good night. Away we go. They call it the

:38:19.:38:31.

greatest show on earth. The greatest games, the biggest names. And the

:38:32.:38:34.

World Cup is underway. It is a good ball in, turned into

:38:35.:38:46.

his own net by Marcelo. This is Oscar. Neymar, and the shot is

:38:47.:38:58.

beyond Pletikosa. The referee has given a penalty. He scores. Goal,

:38:59.:39:08.

Brazil!

:39:09.:39:09.
