Eyes propped open with matchsticks like Alex in Clockwork Orange for some more action? I hope so because kick-off in Switzerland v Ecuador is less than an hour away.

Feel like you need a crammer on the form and personnel involved? I've just the man for you. Jonathan Jurejko has opened for business on BBC Sport's live text of that one with BBC One coverage following shortly afterwards.

There is only room for one live text in this corner of cyber town as well, so here ends the Sportsday Live lesson for today. See you tomorrow.

Not a scene from the latest zombie movie... these are people suffering from a serious dose of World Cup fever.

They are fans who have flown out to Brazil without tickets or hotel bookings, and are sleeping beneath the coconut trees on Copacabana beach.

"Hulk hobbled out of Brazil training with a knock today. Ramires took his place on the right. Neymar now has highlights in his hair. That is all."

A good luck message from the leader of your country. That should be a comfort, a confirmation that the rest of the country is behind you.

Not if you are a UK team and Prime Minister David Cameron wades into the fray on Twitter.

His good-luck message for the England team last night preceded defeat,, external just as he wished England well before their defeat in the second round against Germany four years ago, sent a message to the England rugby team before losing the 2007 World Cup final and backed Lewis Hamilton before the final race of his unsuccessful 2007 F1 title campaign.

Toby Hancock asked: "Should Wayne Rooney play against Uruguay, and if so, in what position?

Motty: "I would move him into the middle or just behind and move Sterling to the left wing."

Haario Naharis asked: "Which English player do you think showed the most promise against Italy?"

Motty: "I thought Sterling, Sturridge and Welbeck all justified selection. The two centre-backs also did well."

Dillon Nolan asked: "Do you think England still have a chance of qualifying?"

Motty: "Yes. I remember them losing the first game in Mexico and then going on to win the group."

Internet search engine Google has released details of the questions it was asked during England's defeat by Italy last night. They make surprising reading.

The most commonly searched question in the United Kingdom was "Who does Raheem Sterling play for?" Understandable perhaps as the occasional football fan acquaints themselves with England's top performer.

In Italy it was: "What does Gabriel Paletta's hair look like?" Which is a question well worth asking...

Then-Everton goalkeeper Richard Wright was ruled out of his side's FA Cup fourth-round replay at Chelsea after suffering a freak injury during the warm-up for their February 2006 game.

Wright ignored a notice warning him not to practise in the goalmouth and promptly fell over the sign, suffering a twisted ankle.

Switzerland versus Ecuador is the day's first game with the tie in Brasilia kicking off at 17:00 BST. It will be the first ever meeting between the two nations. We'll bring you live commentary of that game on BBC Radio 5 live, and you can read the preview.

France have asked Fifa to investigate their suspicions that a drone was used to spy on the team's preparations for the World Cup opener against Honduras. The incident is said to have occurred on Tuesday at the French training base north of Sao Paulo.

"Apparently drones are used more and more," said coach Didier Deschamps. "It's not up to me - Fifa handles this and has been carrying out an inquiry; we don't want any intrusion into our privacy. It's very hard to fight this these days."

Deschamps offered no thoughts on who might be behind the aerial snooping.

England manager Roy Hodgson says he has "great confidence" his side can qualify for the last 16 of the World Cup despite defeat by Italy.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says that he is "really happy" with his recovery from injury but refuses to put a timescale on his return.

Former England boss Graham Taylor says that he would deploy Wayne Rooney in a central position, because his performances in a wide role have been "a little worrying".

Benjamin Knight asked: "Where are the goals going to come from Motty?"

Motty: "Looking at Daniel Sturridge again. Most important is for Wayne Rooney to start scoring goals."

Dr Andy Hershon asked: "Mistake leaving Ashley Cole and John Terry at home? Also obvious question - is Rooney still worth his place?"

Motty: "I think Rooney is worth his place in the middle but looks out of place on the left wing."

Spanish newspaper Marca is reporting, external that Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will definitely be returning to Chelsea from loan club Atletico Madrid after the World Cup.

1) Joe Bamforth asked: "Is there really a difference between England losing or drawing? A loss to Uruguay and they'll still have a chance to qualify."

Motty: "Still in with a shout. I don't think defeat means we will be eliminated."

2) David Kirby asked: "Not one Italian player had cramp, but a few England players did. Why?"

Motty: "I'm still figuring that out. Sure medical staff will be looking for the reason."

3) Emmett: "England seem to be lacking a leader in defence! Should John Terry still be involved?"

Motty: "I don't think there was a real chance of John coming back. Strong leaders needed all across the field."

"Lionel Messi at the Maracana. It just sounds special, doesn't it? You can understand why the last 24 hours have seen Rio invaded by hordes of travelling Argentina fans who are in town to see their side begin their World Cup bid.

"A convoy of cars, trucks, vans and even buses, covered in flags, constantly beeping their horns, have been going up and down the Copacabana since Saturday, crammed full of supporters who have driven here to see their team in action."
