The Jesse Pinkman ad is the most annoying at the moment.

It just made Dara O'brians Xbox One turn on

Twitter really is a source of knowledge

Linesman has been paid off, Cameroon to win the cup right guys??

Well duh. It's all a fix. Why are we even watching?

 

[StopMakingSense]

i think ESPN3 is showing it if you can get that.

Univision is streaming it too. No cable sub necessary.

 

[danreis]

After this first half, i'm calling a Cameroon win as well... 1-0. And it will be a clearly offsided goal!

 

[GaussTek]

I didn't watch the first half, what did I miss?

Two robbed goals:

lol

VAMOS MEXICO, you can do it!!

 

[FootballFan]

This is honestly the best game Mexico has played since THAT match vs Argentina in 2006. I'm fucking devastated.

Reguluuuuuusss

You left us.

 

[The Atticus]

Can someone please explain what an offside is? I don't really understand it

John Terry in a sorority house just after midnight

[survivor]

Mexico getting robbed of goals pretty hard in first half. They deserve to win this game and it would suck if they end up in a draw or lose.

 

[Daemul]

Dumb question, is ESPN not available in the UK, or is ITV the exclusive station for the WC there?

Nah, we have ESPN, but it's a premium channel. The World Cup in the UK is required by law to be broadcast to the public for free, hence ITV and BBC have the rights.

 

[Derp1na]

You're offside when you're ahead (closer to their goal) of the opposition's last defender when the pass is made.

We get ESPN but it's crap. They've never been able to break into the UK.

Mexico win will. They are so much better, and the ref will be told he fucked up TWO FUCKING TIMES and willl...."help"

 

[FortuneFaded]

There is an ESPN channel but you have to pay for it. Big sporting events in the UK legally have to be shown on channels which are free to receive. The past few world cups have been split between the BBC & ITV equally and so will the next two.

Edit: Beaten like USA's bid for 2022.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Whoa just got the highlights of the first half. Mexico got fucked.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Mexico getting acted harder than Bret hart

GOD DAMIT KING! VINCE McMAHON WAS THE REF ALL ALONG!

 

[Blablurn]

awww

 

[CMojicaAce]

Put in Chicharo for Peralta pls. At least he wouldn't miss those headers.

 

[andycapps]

BBC's sports coverage is awesome, from what I've seen in the US. ESPN's soccer/football coverage is typically pretty great for the WC and has been pretty great so far. I can only listen to it at work right now, but ESPN radio is pretty good. I saw an ITV station on TuneIn as well and listened to it for a few minutes.

Karma for drug cartels and stealing our jewbs.

Half time, both team doing terrible.

So guys Mexico, Cameroon , Croatia and Brazil. What do you think of those four teams so far. Who will make it out of the group

Brazil and Cameroon since they wear yellow kits.

This World Cup is like watching the English Premier League, only worse. I thought that wasn't possible.

Nobody beats the BBC for football (although Football Italia on Channel 4 in the 90's was GOAT).

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

the first disallowed goal was i think wrong the other two (1 for Cameroon and 1 for Mexico) were absolutely correct. On another not those two guys on ESPN are pissing me off, ESPN should know that if want a panel you should atleast have two neutral perspectives and one biased not one neutral and two biased.

 

[D4Danger]

santos is offsides on the 1st one

He's not. The defend lower down the pitch is playing him on

 

[Derp1na]

'Offsides' is one of the most annoying Americanisms.

Offside will suffice. And he wasn't offside.

BBC's is great, if it were up to me I'd give it all to them, might give ITV a kick up the arse to improve their shitty pundetry.

At least they're getting Spain vs Netherlands today.

Nothing beats Sky's though.

They even paint a line there for you and you still can't see it, lol.

Check the second yellow shirt from the bottom to the top. Gio is onside.

 

[Melfice7]

Everyone knew tourists were gonna get robbed at Brazil, poor Mexico

 

[Jburton]

santos is offsides on the 1st one

No he is not, just saw a better angle on it and it is clear as day he was onside.

 

[ErasureAcer]

santos is offsides on the 1st one

No he's not. You can see the ball in motion from the kick. The defender he's by is even with him and the one closer to the camera is behind him.

I'm guessing it was skewed towards Mexico? I had ESPN radio on which doesn't have Ian Darke.

 

[PsychBat!]

The WC champions will be the refs.

 

[maliedoo]

excellent

 

[cartoon_soldier]

maybe after this FIFA will get some sense and add video replays.

Allow each manager to appeal 3 decisions per game.

 

[Arjen]

Well time to hit the pub, catch you on the flip side.

 

[DM_Uselink]

Just stopping by to show some support for Mexico! This is the first WC that I don't watch with my family sitting around the tv. Feels strange, but still... viva Mexico Cabrones!

Also, Fuck the refs so far.

What? The second was not offside. Even clearer than the first one.

Hahahahahaha

 

[Chuckie]

You mean the top one? No, he is in front the line of that one defender.

Mexico, two phantom goals, camaroon, zero goals.

Please Sky blow, with Gary "I must hate on United hard to prove I'm not biased" Neville to Jamie "scouse is a speech impediment" Carragher.

Andy Gray and Richard Keyes were dicks but still better than the current lot.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I still think of Ryan Babel as being 21 years old

Might as well be, he still looks the way he did when he was 18
