World Cup weekend of wondrous football

The 19th World Cup and first in Africa kicks off in a few hours and we can't wait. First up is South Africa versus Mexico and while our match report will touch on this later, we feel sorry for Mexico in a way - it isn't going to be easy.

After that, we have France against Uruguay in Cape Town and if the performance from William Gallas earlier this week wasn't strange enough, if France lose tomorrow, you'll hear from his coach and master, Raymond Domenech, who is the real master at sounding strange.

After the first day - we then get to the serious business of England versus the USA and it will be a cracker, but before that we have Argentina up against Nigeria and Korea Republic against Greece from Group B. Five games in and we are still on Saturday! I think the penny has just dropped as to why we only have this every four years; I think my wife would leave me.

On Sunday we have Algeria versus Slovenia to complete the first round of matches for Group C and then the start of Group D with Germany playing Australia and Serbia playing Ghana.

What more could you ask for? Football all weekend starting late Friday afternoon - is it Christmas already? Remember to follow our updates on Twitter and come back later for our match previews and don't forget we have all the fixtures and results updated as they happen.

The World Cup is finally here. Let's go have some fun!
