were you watching the same game missus!!! Brazil v Croatia was one of the worst 3 games so far... poor stuff to watch...

I've seen the fat kid down the road run faster to the ice cream than Ronaldo did last night... how can you not be interested in playing for Brazil in a World Cup???... he looked bored as fuck :mad:

France v Swiss was shit as well...

I said it was a GOOD game - nothing amazing and I'm sticking with that. I thought Croatia had more than enough chances to keep it interesting and, god love them, they tried. I think YOU were watching the wrong game

either that or you know absolutely nothing about football :cool: Patronising fuck! :rolleyes:

[size=+1]Important message for all London fellow astorians...[/size]

Sweet Pinon from Norway is looking for a place to stay in London for the night August 27th to 28th. I can't help as I will be in Belgium. Can anyone else offer her a bed for the night? The day after, they will be getting the ETB and will be on the road!

Please help her!!! Remember... she gave us the cute little Astoria badges :)

Thank you all.

Just putting this back up one last time for those who didn't see it. If you can help Pinon out, let her know!!!!

I didn't see that match but while I was watching the Brazil match ... and after yesterdays posts ... I was looking at Brazil thinking actually Kaka is attractive and then he scores so knew he had to be added to the thread

For the Croats I actually found Robert Kovac attractive

He was ok... I preferred Igor Tudor

We're lucky over here - I come home and get the second half of the second game, then they show highlights of the first match and discuss the two before the third match comes on

. Non stop football from 4.30 til 10.15

do you have SKY or owt?

its just that on BBC interactive you can go on and watch the games you have missed.... its absolutely amazing.. they even show classic matches of days of yore... i watched England v Mexico 86 highlights the other night

if i stay up late enough i can watch every game on BBC/ITV interactive just as if it were live... you can also select just to watch highlights ... excellent stuff

stonesgstring · June 2006

we do a thing at work where we count how many times Motty mentions England (only 2 Scots in my office versus 4 English blokes) and even they have noticed that he mentions England a phenomenal amount of times!!

last night he first mentioned them at 6mins... something about Kaka scoring against england in 2002, blah de blah de blah... i forget what he said... but needless to say he does go on a bit!!

you can even shut them both up and just listen to the crowd option... which is pretty good... Croatia fans make a shitload of noise

Yeh, we do but the channel I was talking about you don't have to pay for. We can get all those channels here too and we have most of them at home but I much prefer RTE - besides I can't listen to the English commentators... and our panelists are funny. Eamonn Dunphy is the most negative person I've ever heard

I think he's ruled everyone out by now - NOBODY is gonna win the world cup this year :eek:

That's because of work - and that's what I can watch for FREE. I'd much rather watch them live... as they happen, if I miss a match I'll watch the highlights, that's it. And since when is the interactive stuff free??? Isn't that sky? Yeh, we get BBC free here (in that all you need is an ariel) but if we want sky we have to pay for it - don't you??

I can watch them all live if I finish early and go to the pub :cool:

Lol, me too!

Dunno about the Saudis now but we had them 4 years ago and beat them 3-0 so they must have been pretty shite!

Wonder how the riots will take off today - apparently there are some England fans rumoured to be travelling especially.

Interactive is on freeview. I paid £30 for my set-top box (the expensive one so I could plug my DVD player into it as well

) and then that's that

I did crap

Well goal wise I was closest to the result of the Brazil match I said scoreless... but other than that :rolleyes:

Your first two predictions there are a bit odd

the interactive thingy is on the BBC, which is free... well interactive is only available on SKY boxes or Freeview boxes right enough... so i see what you mean... just normal BBC on the telly aerial

well if you dont know the scores and you go home and watch the 2pm game on interactive then it is live...

so thats what i'd rather do... although i think the highlights might be better than 2 or 3 of the games so far

so yeah... go to the pub and watch them all missus :cool:
