"There is a truth to sport, a purity, a drama, an intensity. A spirit that makes it irresistable to take part in, and irresistable to watch. In every Olympic sport there is all that matters in life.

And one day we will tell our children, and our grandchildren, than when our time came we did it right."
- Seb Coe, opening the 2012 games

Brazilian Bandwagoners

Old Trafford packed for the Brazil - Belarus game. Lots of very non-Brazilian Brazil fans, mixed with some who were the real thing. Rumours of the Great British love of the underdog appear to have been greatly exaggerated however.



In the latest, and almost certainly most surreal technical hitch to strike the games, West Ham youngster James Tomkins was named on the big screen as being amongst the Brazil substitutes.
