Ah yes the ole Twin Towers with its heavy pitch. Never had a chance to visit it but watched many a cup final there on my big, ugly satellite dish back in the '80s and 90's. Motson was the commentator back them and for the life of me I cannot remember his annoying partner?! Was it Jimmy Hill?

I guess I shouldn't be too harsh on NBC's coverage as they do have a dedicated football channel this time around. Believe me, this is a big change here.
Forum: Tell Me

Olympic coverage here in the States has always been geared towards focusing on the Americans almost exclusively so I'm not surprised. NBC sadly reflects the American jingoistic attitude.

Quotefalo01 Quoteemotionalbarbecue Pirlo: "you show your tongue, I'll show you panenka" ha ha ha and hoeness's penalty is still on its way.... Great memory there falo01. Pretty sure some scribe labeled this type of penalty "The Falling Leaf". Anyway, today I predict ESP 3-2 POR. Referee will be quite busy however.

Quoteemotionalbarbecue I think that people living in countries where soccer is not popular are not reading this thread. But if some are doing it out of curiosity it is good to note that yesterday (in an ugly fixture) Spain did a very dificult thing...turn an excellent team as France into a bunch of teenagers suffering a dreadful hangover, serving as training dummies. Well I read this thread

Not too late for predictions I hope. ESP 2 - 1 ITA (aet)

Prediction time GER 3-1 GRE And it will be an open, entertaining match. Contrary to what the pundits are saying.

Last minute of the game and Petr Czech goes up for a corner. Ball sails into penalty area nowhere near him. WTF was that about?

I think the Azzurri are back into their traditional tournament mode- start off slowly and methodically build in confidence and form. If I'm correct this could spell trouble for whomever they face Sunday. Today may be tricky for ENG v UKR too on and off the pitch.

QuoteRolling Hansie QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotekleermaker Ireland-Croatia 1-2. Though imo offside. The Croatians became stronger and stronger, without creating much chances. The pass came from an opponent... Yes, but at the moment of the pass it already was offside. Difficult situation.

Nil- nil from the first leg. I'm smelling a Milanese triumph in Camp Nou. The rossanerra has figured out how to shut down the blaugrana's attack. Ibra is too hot.

QuoteStoneage QuoteStoned in Washington DC surprised by brazilians unsportsmanlike conduct... not usually a brazilian thing I'm sorry to say, but it is, unfortunatelly. Diving and faking injuries is more common in latin countries like Spain, Italy, Brazil, Central America etc. It's more rare in Northern Europe or North America. Like it or not!

This Nippon machine will give the US all it can handle and more. They play beautiful and efficient futbol whereas the Yanks are much more direct and will no doubt play to their height advantage. Too close too call but please no penalties!

The media has been holding the beautiful game back here in the USA but that is now changing. Many of the younger sportscasters have obviously played the game - I can tell how they describe the highlights. You can hear the passion in their delivery. Also, $ is starting to flow in now via the advertisers and that is the ultimate attitude changer here in the good ole U$A. SWE v USA would make

Damn. Pissed that I missed this pool. I was cruising along in my office pool until last Saturday. I had an ARG v NED final but the GERs threw a monkey wrench into all of that. I'm guessing ESP will edge out GER today on penalties.
