We are enjoy this video enjoy World Cup 2010: Uruguay v Ghana - as it happened

I'm not really here yet, but before I arrive I thought I'd let you know the teams! Back in 10 minutes...

Uruguay: Muslera, Maxi Pereira, Lugano, Victorino, Fucile, Alvaro Fernandez, Perez, Arevalo Rios, Cavani, Suarez, Forlan.
Subs: The rest of 'em.
Ghana: Kingson, Pantsil, Vorsah, John Mensah, Sarpei, Annan, Inkoom, Asamoah, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Muntari, Gyan. Subs:
Everybody else.
Referee: Olegario Benquerenca (Portugal).

7.01pm: Are we tired of ITV's and Marcel Desailly's Ghana-fan shtick yet? I mean, I don't mean to be a kill-joy or anything, but...

7.02pm: Anyway, Ghana don't need his support tonight – they've got an entire continent and, so far as I can work out, the vast majority of the entire world on their side.

7.08pm: Here's the front page of today's Citizen, a South African newspaper, for a taste of what's going down over there: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx

7.16pm: I'm conflicted. It would be great if Ghana won tonight, but then I think Uruguay could possibly win the World Cup, and I think that would be brilliant. Better, even.

7.18pm: And here, courtesy of Andrew Goudie, is a graphic showing where each country's players play their club football. What it reveals is not exactly unexpected, but it is quite interesting: http://www.estadao.com.br/especiais/2010/06/copa_jogadores.shtm

7.27pm: Today's match is being dedicated to the global fight against racism. The two captains are reading a short message to the world before the anthems. It's hard to make up a joke about the global fight against racism, to be honest.

7.29pm: In other World Cup-related news, South Korea centre-back Cha Du-Ri has signed for Celtic, by the way.

1 min: Peeeep! And they're off! Just a little bit late, I notice. OK, ITV commentators, enough "all of Africa" fluff now, can we just get on with the game?

2 min: "What do Fifa hope to achieve with these pre-kick-off readings?" wonders David Wall. "The sentiments are worthy and all that, but the fact that they're being stumblingly recited from a cue card is hardly likely to inspire any prospective or actual despot to suddenly renounce his wicked ways. And they're creepily reminiscent of confessions from show trials, or namings at the McCathy inquests, which isn't really in the spirit of their content." Were you racist until you heard Diego Lugano's impassioned plea? Has it changed your life? Is there any aspect of your life that might feasibly be changed with an impassioned plea from Diego Lugano? Do tell!
