I'm watching Brazil - Belgium.

Btw, you can watch the games in good quality (no commentary) here: http://os2008.nos.nl/live/wmv/kanaal/1.

Not sure if there are any country restrictions though.

7 of the 11 belgium players play in the Eredivisie btw.

BBC are showing the games as well, but, I think you have to be inside the UK.

I can't get it to work here.

The Yankids are playing though so I am set with watching. U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!

 

[Ronok]

Japan should be 2 or 3 up now. lol Every time Ushida gets the ball on the right he's causing problems with a great ball into the box. If nothing comes of them I'll be suprised.

 

[Zoolaga]

Rossi scores a penalty to make it 2-0 against Honduras. Giovinco scored the first but I missed it.

 

[Karakand]

The sad thing is that Uchida is a defender. :lol

 

[Falch]

Brazil : Belgium
0 -- Shots on goal -- 0

:/

 

[Zabojnik]

Giovincooo! Fantastic gol for Italy. Can't wait to see the little wonder play with Juventus in a month or so. 164cm of pure football genius.

[Karakand]

Austria will win medals had, I have faith!

 

[hadareud]

we're a big judo and sailing nation!

 

[IanZ]

The streams at NBC Olympics.com are amazing. I wonder how much $$$ Microsoft paid them to use Silverlight. At least it's way better than ESPN360 right now.

 

[Karakand]

:lol :lol @ the Honduran keeper on Rossi's PK.

 

[Ronok]

The sad thing is that Uchida is a defender. :lol

No way. o.o;; I didn't notice that at all.

 

[Zoolaga]

Holden scores for USA.

 

[Karakand]

Uchida = Pearl Harbor
Holden = Enola Gay

 

[Zoolaga]

Another penalty for Italy. 3-0.

 

[Ronok]

That goal came to early and I missed it.

 

[Karakand]

Italy scores on the PK.

Wherever you are Manics, I hope you're smiling!

 

[IanZ]

Uchida = Pearl Harbor
Holden = Enola Gay

I can't wait to hear what you come up with during the USA/China basketball game.

 

[Karakand]

:lol I am hoping NBA-GAF shows up in my Olympics thread for that game. NBA-GAF talks trash all day long against one-another so it'll be crazy to see us all working in tandem for a common goal.

 

[IanZ]

So, any comments for that an African ref just gave an American player a yellow card?

 

[hadareud]

seems like we might sign Felipe Ramos Sanchez, 20 year old Real Madrid keeper.

3rd keeper in place of Mannone (he did look dodgy in pre-season)?

Odd stuff regardless.

racist

 

[Karakand]

Hey IanZ, is there something bad about Silverlight? (Besides it being a new MSFT they are trying to shove down our throats?) The Italy-Honduras stream I am watching looks really good.

So, any comments for that an African ref just gave an American player a yellow card?

I am more concerned about his black-on-black crime wrt not giving Freddie Adu any calls at all.

 

[IanZ]

hadareud: you don't get it, do you?

yeah the Italy game has extremely good quality. I've no idea why.

 

[Wes]

Are the USA and Japan playing at the Emirates?

 

[QVT]

Mannone looked fine, certainly better than what we saw of Fabianski. Then again, after whatever game he had a while back I swore I'd never let him near a pitch again if it was up to me and I stand by that.

Dunno why we'd sign another keeper though. Unless he can play defensive mid.

 

[Zoolaga]

Kompany sent off for Belgium. Not sure about the second yellow tbh, Diego looked like he went down a little easily, but the first yellow was a terrible decision, shouldn't have even been a foul imo. Shocking ref.

Jo and Thiago Neves on for Brazil.

 

[Ghost]

wow the pitch for this brazil match is even worse than the african cup of nations pitches.

Mannone looked incredibly dodgy in pre-season games. Fabianski has looked far better although still not good enough imo.

Are the USA and Japan playing at the Emirates?

I don't get it.

 

[SupahBlah]

is there something bad about Silverlight?

Superior to flash in every way.

Adobe finally need to work.

 

[Karakand]

Jo and Thiago Neves on for Brazil.

*switches to Brazil match*

YO JO

P.S. Don't hurt yo-self! You cost 19 million!

 

[Zoolaga]

Hernanes scores for Brazil. 1-0.

 

[Ronok]

The ref in the USA Japan game is so bad. lol

Both teams should have had a penalty now.

 

[Wes]

By the way, any fans of Christina Aguilera's breasts may want to head over to egotastic.com right about now.

 

[Ronok]

Surely fake. o.o

 

[Karakand]

Benny "Zachary Taylor" Failhaber has been subbed on.

Hernanes scores for Brazil. 1-0.

That was all me and Jo's intangibles.

The ref in the USA Japan game is so bad. lol

Yeah... at least he's consistent with his awfulness.

 

[Ronok]

Guzen is pretty scummy...... :-/

And again? lolol

 

[Zoolaga]

Another red for Belgium. Fellaini got a second yellow card for no reason whatsoever. This ref is a fucking disgrace, truly, truly terrible.

 

[hadareud]

Fabianski looked very good yesterday actually. He made a couple of dodgy decisions against Juve, but you show me a 22 year old keeper that plays his first full pre season game that doesn't have a few dodgy moments. Give him more games and he'll be fine, Fabianski will be the real deal in a few years.

Mannone on the other hand looked really poor, not that that necessarely means much

hadareud: you don't get it, do you?

I was joking

 

[IanZ]

Guzan really needs to stop taking a deep breathe every time he takes a goal kick. Makes him look like a bigger douche than he already is.

Like I said, Fabianski was certainly better then Mannone and only had a couple of mistakes through out preseason, just I don't see him catching Almunia for a while yet.




As for officiating in the Olympics, is this the standard to expect for the rest of the competition? :-/

 

[Karakand]

My full writeup on the Yankids match is in the Olympics thread but here's the cliff's notes:

-Defense looked bad
-Trying to hold the lead in the second half was bad
-Robbie Rogers is hot shit
-The Dutch are toast on Sunday
-U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!

Officiating was shit but that looks like it's going to be a problem for the whole tournament.

 

[Zoolaga]

The crowd go crazy every time Messi or Riquelme touch the ball.

 

[Karakand]

 

[Zoolaga]

Messi scores for the Argies. 1-0. Kalou gets booked for diving :lol

 

[hadareud]

:lol

excellent commentary

edit: :lol @ the bumped Shane Bettenhausen thread.

 

[Zoolaga]

Cisse heads the equaliser for Ivory Coast.

 

[Frenck]

I can't watch these crappy matches anymore. The U19 European Championship was at least exciting to watch.

 

[chico]

and whats wrong with the referees??? did they randomly picked some drunken guys from the street???
