No, because this definitely happened, but every time I think about it, I think "did I actually send an email that was then read out on air". And the answer is of course, yes. Totally confusing me though.

As for the goal, well it wasn't a goal, because iirc it was chalked off. Although I slightly doubting my memory of it now, especially as there is no evidence of it anywhere...

Ajax vs. Copenhagen imo is the best game today.

UKHS...can we consider Russia the most underachieving nation in football? Or, given their national character, is it just Russian business as usual?

Sdpm100 · 08-23-2006, 12:23 PM

UKHS, the player on Spartak Moscow you are missing, number 49 is Roman Shishkin

No shishkin, SDPM. How did he miss him??

Can you guys actually watch that game?? I'm jealous.

Sdpm100 · 08-23-2006, 12:26 PM

bababui, have you heard that your mate Carlos Tevez has gone on strike from Corinthians, as he wants a move to Europe. He was been seen since at a rock concert back in his homeland.

Commentators were just saying that Russian football is coming back to what it used to be.

Given the size of the old USSR, I would argue that they were underachievers back in the day too. Russia has too many problems to ever be good at anything but corruption, drinking and chess.

ukhotstove · 08-23-2006, 12:32 PM

If you go to the eurosport site they do have a live feed of this game but just took notice when I listened to it, its about 20 seconds behind the TV coverage

Well the signal has got to be encrypted into mpeg (?) and then sent to the server so that takes into account the time delay.

And it is Bryan Hamilton as co-commentator - he moans all the time...

I have to admit that I loved the last Womans World Cup. There were some great games..like the final Germany vs Sweden game. Sun Wen, a chinese mfer, might be the best player I have ever seen.
