this sucks...no radio coverage (XM pay satelite radio only) no web coverage...how much %$#$ money does FIFA need?

For someone who wasn't even down to play until 10 minutes before the start, Shaka Hislop is playing a blinder in the T&T net. I don't think Sweden are going to break them down.

From the BBC website, although talking about broadband video, not audio:

Q: But why can't you make it available overseas on a pay-per-view basis?

A: Rights are sold on a territory by territory basis. The total worldwide fee is estimated at 1.2 bn euros. So any attempt to get global reach would cost rather a lot!

We would have to charge so much no-one would take it up.

Make of that what you will, but FIFA want a lot and can get a lot of money, even just for audio.

Bravo Trinidad and Tobago. Superb effort!!!!!!!!!!

Id be happy to listen to it in spanish but not even that option is available anymore. I feel bad for all the working people who have been robbed of the chance to listen to the games by greedy FIFA.

Yes, gaining this result, whilst playing a man down against a touted opponent, was indeed a shaka.

I agree completely, but all the sports leagues are doing it now.

Yep, they were TT for sure - especially Hislop with those saves.

J.P. Dellacamera is just as bad. Airhead announcer.

he keeps his mouth shut...Balboa doesn't....Id prefer Dellacamera to just about anyone else off the top of my head. He doesn't try to act like he knows anything more than the players names and their club team, thats all I want.

Balboa's problems are exacerbated by Dave O'Brien, who I liked as the Marlins announcer, but should have stuck to baseball.

I would be immensely happen if the Coasters pull this off

Sdpm100 · 06-10-2006, 03:15 PM

Was the ball over the line?

It might have been as the IC goalie bobbled it.
