Audiences online will also be joined by a number of ±«Óãtv World Service football pundits.

A live message board will automatically translate online comments into 10 languages including: Arabic, Albanian, Chinese, English, Spanish, Persian, Portuguese, Swahili, Vietnamese and Welsh, as well as automatically translating comments and questions back into English to enable different audiences to take part in the team talk.

Audience members from across the world can join the conversation via Facebook (±«Óãtv World Have Your Say), Twitter (@WHYS), via telephone: +44 20 70 83 72 72, text: +44 77 86 20 60 80 and email at worldhaveyoursay@bbc.com.
