I remember watching that a while back. Good stuff. GI surprisingly had some pretty good video content, always enjoyed their Replay stuff too. Looking forward to see what he brings to the GB table.

LMAO this is amazing.
Hopefully more than those world cup tweets...
Yeah, GI has had some great personalities for some years now. Their Replays and Super Replays have been really good for a long while. It's a shame that not more people know about that side of GI, I guess most people just assume that GI is just the magazine.
Ryckert always seemed like the main guy behind those videos though (and Jason was the video guy for Replays/Super Replays).
His entire contribution to the site will just be him sitting on the sofa complaining about soccer
Dem crotch chops.
He is an unrepentant troll, most of the people replying to him must be followers of his, how can they not realise? Both sides are as gullible as each other.
If he is the GB hire I think a lot on here will be happy but he might be a tougher sell to the general GB community if he doesn't tone it down a bit. That said, I can see him getting off reading the comments.
Just watched the whole thing....lol at the ending.
Oh god, I know what I'm watching all day now.
Seriously, that's about the most American thing you can do in a sports match.
Having followed the guy for a few years due to his appearances on the GB E3 live shows, I'm pretty sure he won't tone that side down since it's a big part of his personality. But I think he'll go over well with the community because of his general enthusiasm of everything video game that isn't a MOBA and his humor. Haven't really seen that much of Jason, but that dude seems way into fighting games he's already cool with me!

They need to do a "Danny Explains Soccer to Jeff and Dan" quick segment.
Danny: "So, a player is considered offside if he's past the last field player before the ball is delivered."
Jeff: "Delivered? Like a pizza?"
Danny: "No, delivered, like a pass, a kick, from his teammate."
Dan; "Man, this fucking sucks."
"And this has been 'Danny Explains Soccer to Jeff and Dan.' From Giantbomb.com."

Eh, I wouldn't trust the Irish to know as much about cricket as they do about soccer. 
Soccer really is one of the most simplest professional sports in the world. I would say Americans don't like it because there sometimes long periods with no goals but then they like Baseball, and that's the very definition of a sport that you watch drunk because nothing happens for a long time.

If Americans can get the handle of baseball they can get the handle of cricket.

There was a week or two about 5 years ago that I understood the rules of Cricket.
I dont remember it being that complex, you just have to get past the silly names they have for everything.

Not all of us like baseball, baseball is boring. Soccer is a lot better than anything that has to do with baseball imo. Also yes tonight was pretty heartbreaking, but I don't mind Ronaldo, so no biggie. We are still in it, hopefully we can beat Germany.
As an American who doesn't like sports, hasn't gone to any sporting event in person, never tries to watch sports on TV, or even understands the basics of a single sport.
I never liked Soccer because the camera was always super zoomed out when it was on TV, and I just felt very unattached to everything.

Finally an Irishman who makes sense.
I lived in England for 5 months a couple of years ago, and got to know a couple of really big cricket fans. By the end of my stay I understood (most of) the rules of the game, but if you asked me anything about the sport now I probably wouldn't remember shit. It's not that it's so complicated, it's just so uninteresting.
I see Gies in your near future!

Have you guys ever noticed how they always say "the", "it", and "games" a lot? It's going to drive me crazy now that it's been pointed out to me

Oh come on, you know they don't talk about "games".

Most modern games have people and are rendered with polygons thus polygon people are a common sight in most video game coverage.
Huh, weird.

guess what happens when its tied after 9 innings of baseball
they play more baseball until someone gets their shit together.
Cause what everyone wants is for the world's slowest moving sport to go on for even longer.

In cricket a draw can be both considered a loss or a win depending on circumstances.
It's a very philosophical sport.

There are actually mechanisms to resolve soccer ties.
