TFoA Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Aren't the announcers European? For ESPN? Except for the untelligible(sp?) Tommy Smyth, not to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Well, World Cup history today in the England-Paraguay game.First World Cup game ever where the only goal was an own goal. And it wasn't even his fault. Beckham just hit it off that guy and it went in. That guy can bend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Correction: Beckham can STILL bend it.Anyway, anyone else shocked that Trinidad and Tobago got a 0-0 draw againt Sweden? I wonder if the confidence of that tie will help them against England in the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 awesome flick-on by the Paraguay defender; shame it was into his own goal.the ESPN announcers are horrible. absolutely horrible. for somebody who knows about soccer, I feel pandered to and that they're wasting my intelligence. it's the same sort of thing that happens with a lot of auto racing coverage in the US...and I really get annoyed by it. I wish I could get the European english-language feed somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinirox1 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The announcers just said "They were battling for position in the paint."OMG, I'm going to watch this on the Spanish-commentary channel.

That's what I call Clockwork Oranje. Didn't even give the Serbians a chance to score. We dominated possession and in turn, dominated the game. Ivory Coast is next. That'll be a good game, and we'll probably trot out in that sweet new white kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 depends on who's home team. otherwise it'll be the elephants in green.Portugal really haven't looked good today. Too content to let Angola's complete lack of attacking talent do all the self-defending. they haven't created nearly enough in attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinirox1 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 According to the FIFA world cup site, Cote D'Ivoire's alts are white. The green is a third kit.So I think it would be an orange vs white game no matter what. Put Your Hands up For Detroit (our lovely city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I would imagine they'd use the green because the light orange and white are close. plus I think the trim on the white Ivory Coast kits is orange too, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO HAVE DONE IT! The largest odds to against them (1:1000) versus Sweden and they get their first world cup point. EVER. Actually T+T is 1000:1 to win the world cup, i believe William Hill had it at 11:1 for T&T to beat Sweden. could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
