Mens Football Honduras v Morocco

[Louis]

Wondering whether I will be the sole poster on this thread ...

Honduras v Morocco

Just kicked off, pretty even after the first 10 minutes

I'll join you.

Just turned it on, great for these players to get the chance to play football at a ground like Hampden was the first thing that sprung to mind.

Morocco seem to be slightly on top. Are there any current or ex Premier League players playing? Maynor Figueroa and Wilson Palacios I think both played in the World Cup 2010.

It looks as though all the mens and womens football matches are being shown live on BBC website:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/sports/football

Should be available elsewhere online for anyone outside the UK who can't access the games on the BBC site. Means a feast of live football over the next week for live football addicts ...

Figueroa plays for Wigan ...

Hondurans mostly play in Honduras. Nearly all Moroccans foreign-based but none in UK -

Two great goals from Morocco!

Advantage Honduras, but you couldn't rule Morocco out

Timeline and chapters on the BBC live video are brilliant. Just caught up on all the incidents that I had missed!

[dan27]

Been a really fantastic game so far.

FT: 2-2

Good game, but both sides might struggle to qualify with Spain and Japan in the same group
