Annoying the VR stream is only for UK and US Fox Sports.

 

[MrS]

Madrid are trying to be too cute with the passing. Need to keep it simple and take control of the game. Juve are on top here.

 

[Nevasleep]

Youtube is dying, might have to turn on my TV.

They need half to come and comeback out trying to take control.

Juve has been in the driver seat minus the first shot going in for Real.

 

[Mortemis]

I'm still freaking out about that goal. Daaaaaamn.

 

[Empty]

foul foul foul foul

the two goals were top class but not enough flow to the game

 

[Lkr]

Brad Friedal is just trrrible.

yeah whoever the play by play guy isn't all that bad but Friedal brings down the quality of the broadcast a LOT

 

[Shake Appeal]

foul foul foul foul

Blame Madrid.

 

[Griss]

Co-commentator on BT Sport's youtube stream is awful. Who is it?

 

[Alex_Mexico]

How's Fox doing in this transmission? You guys happy with their work? I hope you are since you'll be watching next year's World Cup with them!

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Really surprised with Juves tactics, I expected them to sit a lot deeper and soak up a lot more pressure. It's actually them dominating the tempo of the game.

Dat goal doe.

 

[Lkr]

Co-commentator on BT Sport's youtube stream is awful. Who is it?

Ian Darke and Owen hargreaves i think

@Alex_Mexico: it is typical Fox soccer mediocrity. not as bad as the Euro League was this year with Alexei Lalas being allowed to commentate. and they're actually live on site and not doing it in the studio today. i don't see how their world cup coverage won't be a travesty. this is their A team we are being "treated" to today and it is pretty meh. it was easy to find international coverage of Brazil 2014 online, hopefully it will be similar next year if their commentary is awful

[enanogrande]

Fox is ~1 second behind, I just FaceTimed some friends back home and the difference was noticeable

 

[Pachimari]

Juventus have been eminent!!!

I'm really nervous about match.

 

[chicken_pasta]

Fantastic goal by Mandzukic.

 

[zero_suit]

Good stuff.

 

[KingSnake]

Real got lucky with Ronaldo and his goal otherwise they haven't created shit in this first half.

 

[cw_sasuke]

You can see that Juve is the only team smart enough to not get schooled by Madrid in this CL season....great finale so far. 2nd half will be fun.

 

[T-Rex.]

Really fun first half.

 

[McMoneyman]

Lmao.

 

[Loris146]

Cristiano ronaldo will get a penality, he is too good at falling.

 

[RocknRola]

Real got lucky with Ronaldo and his goal otherwise they haven't created shit in this first half.

Real get lucky with Ronaldo a whole damn lot though

But yeah, Juve has been by far the better team in this first half. Wonder what changes the 2nd half will bring!

 

[Pachimari]

Real got lucky with Ronaldo and his goal otherwise they haven't created shit in this first half.

But we are still in it!

 

[PatThePassive]

Munich would like to have a word with you.

but they got schooled... hard

If by schooled you mean cheated then yes. They got schooled hard.

 

[Frank the Great]

I hate Juve but they deserve to be ahead.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Real got lucky with Ronaldo and his goal otherwise they haven't created shit in this first half.

That might be true, but Mandzukic scoring that goal was probably the luckiest thing that has happened in the CL this year.

 

[RocknRola]

Lmao.

lol

But you know, if Buffon had his hair a tad bit longer they wouldn't look that different

 

[SporeCrawler]

Munich would like to have a word with you.

but they got schooled... hard

 

[Regginator]

Madrid is going to have a tough time scoring the first one, but they'll definitely get one in. And when that happens, Juve has to attack and Madrid will decimate them. I expect a rather boring first half, and then second half all-out. I would have loved Buffon to win, but not at the expense of Real.

VAMOS REAL

Phew, I couldn't have been more wrong. Incredibly vibrant first half, great match so far. A little too much fouls though, it sometimes fucks up the pacing.

Looking forward to the second half!

So you'd say ESPN was better at broadcasting soccer than Fox? I remember reading a LOT of complaints about ESPN during the 2006 World Cup in Germany. I'd like to think they got better with time.

 

[MrS]

Both teams are there for the taking. Really enjoyable and open first half but the quality has been poor at times, particularly Madrid's passing. Poor Dybala has been kicked out of the match, hasn't he? Can see somebody getting sent off with this ref.

 

[LeleSocho]

What a crappy match, only Juve is really playing

 

[Zasa]

Fuck me, I missed the first half. How's the game been?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Fuck me, I missed the first half. How's the game been?

Ugly.

 

[Tubie]

I don't see how we can win tbh.

Juve is playing incredible on both attack and defense.

oh well

 

[LeleSocho]

Fuck me, I missed the first half. How's the game been?

Bad.
Mandzukic did a great gol though

 

[Syder]

Mandžukić is definitely a shoe-in for the Puskás Award after that.

The arc was totally perfect, no saving that piece of pure genius.

 

[milanbaros]

Honest question. Why do goalkeepers go with the other hand?

 

[Audioboxer]

That Juventus goal was beautiful!

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Honest question. Why do goalkeepers go with the other hand?

You can stretch your body and arm in a way that you can reach longer than you would with the other.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Munich would like to have a word with you.

If by schooled you mean cheated then yes. They got schooled hard.

lol no....they messed up with Vidal not sealing the deal with his penalty in game 1. You cant be so careless against Madrid.

But to be fair...with Hummel/Lewa Bayern in game 1 Bayern would probably have made it.

 

[MrPing1000]

Honest question. Why do goalkeepers go with the other hand?

You can reach higher/longer, it's also physically easier too. And sometimes keepers just have a dominant hand.

So Stevie's comments were rubbish?

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Honest question. Why do goalkeepers go with the other hand?

If you look at replay, the part of the body (left arm) is falling to the ground. So he would have had a tougher time reaching it compared to the right arm that is higher up

 

[Sticky Fingers]

what makes it more beautiful is that the ball didn't hit the ground after the first pass.

 

[clemenx]

Juve is certainly playing better but outside the first 10 minutes there hasn't been much danger. So-So game thus far. Real being really disappointing.

Both goals were really awesome at least.

 

[Hasney]

Wonder who's buckling, YouTube live not being used to that many people, or BTs setup.

Bummer, really wanted to try live 360 in PSVR.

 

[Zasa]

Ugly.

Bad.
Mandzukic did a great gol though

Thanks, & yeah just caught the Mandzukic goal. Insane, that should win the puskas, surely.

 

[McMoneyman]

Stevie is my goddamn hero. But he's not the brightest unfortunately.
