Kicked off today. 

 

South Korea beating Honduras 2-0. Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Iran all playing later. 

 

However the main events of the evening are Tunisia v Portugal and France v Ireland.

Hope Benalouane isn't playing for Tunisia or he will probably crock Periera and Adrien Silva

Nice of Italy to offer to play Saudi Arabia to prepare them for the World Cup

I'm not sure how much good it does the big teams playing these minnows as part of their preparation though.

Iheanacho with the assist to Nigeria's 1-0 half-time lead against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Haven't been able to find one yet. My updates are from a live ticker. Game started at 5pm UK time (6pm GEST).

 

Iheanacho now subbed after 50 minutes.

Musa on for Nigeria after 71 minutes. 1-1 the score right now, Congo with a penalty.

This Canadian-Portuguese bein Sports commentator...

 

"Push there by Benaluna".

Great tackle by Ricardo Pereira.

I have no idea what language my commentators are using - but it isn't English....

 

1-0 Portugal

[foxes21]

Benalouane just did a no look pass for no reason

Yep his recovery run back into position to make the tackle was impressive 

[PhillippaT]

It feels more authentic watching foreign matches with a foreign commentator

[MC Prussian]

Pereira caught off-position and in the middle of the pitch there. Odd defending from Portugal, should've been more stretched out.

[davieG]

With that shirt design they look like they have Baggio style pony tails

[MC Prussian]

Adrien Silva doing pretty well for Portugal in the middle, pulling all the strings.

Some really nice play over on the right about 5 minutes before half time.

 

Watching a stream on YouTube with two guys commentating off their sofa. 

[PhillippaT]

Lol - how did they miss after all that
