egypt first real chance.

So 1-1 result for GB, Should of had a penalty in the second half.

I'm going to the football on Wednesday at the City of Coventry stadium. Hope it doesn't send me to sleep.

Football , Rugby Union, Cricket, Golf, and Tennis shouldn't be in the Olympics in my opinion. Too big in their own right.

Quite a boring match to be honest. Not really loving this GB chemistry, and don't think Sturridge should've went off. There doesn't seem to be any middle play in the team, it's all just wide.

He's still not 100% you can tell he's been ill.

Why are there no scots or irish on the GB football team?

Probably because they think a team GB could stop each individual country being their own. Idiots. Having a team at the olympics isn't gonna hurt, it's never gonna effect England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

It didn't have a USP in my opinion. Expensive fireworks are impressive but ours is more interesting.
