England players "bored."

Don't think so, haven't Brazil had all their sessions behind closed doors?

I don't know about Brazil, but I'm pretty sure SSN has made mention that teams are allowed one closed door session.

Aren't all training sessions open ones, with FIFA allowing one behind closed doors training session in the build up to games? Are are they only open to press?

Open to press only I believe and that is by invitation. Where the Paraguayans are, you can see into where they train if you stand by the railway line outside the training camp and I understand that they had the police move on an Italian journalist who was spying on them from there before the first match. There is now quite a police presence on the road (next to the railway line) outside whenever training is happening and if you have no legitimate business there, they will turn you away. I assume this is the same with England.

But I missed the open training sessions unfortunately but those that went said they were excellent and the players spent ages with the locals afterwards, which is great.
