Spain vs Ukraine

[Carradona]

cheerio david and xabi...great games :yes:

[Brownie]

This is great. Got a fiver on Villa for top scorer at 29-1. With group games against Tunisia and Saudi Arabia to go its already looking pretty good

 

Not when Aragones takes him off the tit.

[navbasi]

If that was a penalty, then the Eiffel Tower is going to come to life, trot down to the stadium, and shit Napolean into the crowd.

 

Worth going to France to see that

Yeah, thats pretty fuckin annoying

[RedKnight]

its in england you tit. so of course the english want to hear about england.

 

Well thanks for enlightening me. Ever thought that a feature about the Engalnd band and bus is of little interest to anyone? Ever thought that ITV also broadcast to Scotland and Wales too? Ever thought that they have a magazine/highlights show plus daily news bulletins to update us on Owen Hargreaves hitting back at his critics? Ever thought that the update could wait until half time in the Spain match?

Maybe neither of those countries qualifited RK. It's Britain and England are the only team to qualify.

[Brownie]

Garcia has been quality in behind the front two to be fair. One of his good days.

Different region, just like we don't get Take The High Road... sort of a bullshit statement really... Don't see the problem with it... I'm 100% sure that all the other broadcasters around the world update the country on what is happening with their team.....

It's more to do with the World Cup featuring other teams as well as England. Give them their dues first.

 

The BBC manage to go without managing England in their matches until half time. ITV started today with 'Welcome to Spain against Ukraine. Now over to England.' I expext an England bulletin but I expect there to be a proper bulid up to a match.

[navbasi]

TV in Scotland today...

Well Wales and Scotland do have the option of independence available to them if they find England puff pieces offensive. 8)

That's the whole point, 50 million English people pay their dues. I am not saying I agree with it and I conced you have a point but given the nature of it all, it's to be expected.

Does it really matter - it's only for a few more games and then they'll be home and then you won't have to worry about England updates!!!

[Brownie]

I know they have been aided somewhat, but how impressive have Spain been? They've shown how important possession is, especially in the hot weather.

Fair enough YKI. At least you understand what I'm on about. It's just like when England go out the World Cup loses it's importance in the eyes of parts of the media. I'm having a pop at ITV's coverage really. The BBC are ok.

[RedKnight]

It's to piss the Welsh off.

 

Works too.

 

You can shut your furry mouth too. What is that avatar? Is it that Yeti from Yeti Oympics?

[Carradona]

well done little luis

[Carradona]

who was that man and woman it showed twice in the crowd there?

 

WHAT A GOAL!!!!!

[Brownie]

Brilliant goal.

[navbasi]

Oh shit - I didn't want Torres scoring....

 

*** RASH ALERT... RASH ALERT***

[Carradona]

spain are not slowing down or holding back!

[RedinSweden]

Why do ITV persist in showing England features during other teams games? Every major competition they do the same. The start of this broadcast started with an England feature. Feature the teams playing you idiots.

 

They do it in Sweden with the Swedish team. Not everything to do with England in the WC is utter shite dude.

[RedKnight]

It's an albino Chewbacca actually.

 

Ok, it's a yeti. Off Monsters Inc. And it serves two purposes:

 

1) To make me feel colder, in the recent short lived hot spell.

2) To remind people about the Yeti Olympics.

 

I like it.

[Captain]

That Torres seems to be one hell of a player. He impressed me today. In fact, I think the whole team except Casillas were very good. Casillas basically had nothing to do, but still managed to embarass himself at the end.

 

Very pleased Spain played so well and my hopes of them doing well in the tournament have grown.
