Phew , Italy scraped out a draw
-
Was on tenterhooks all morning. Luckily we escaped with the draw. Not bad compared to some of the other starts we've had in recent major tournaments (no I'm not thinking about Korea 2002, the nightmares have only just stopped). I cannot believe there is no telecast of this thing in the US :(( Bought a $15 account on real networks (Its not like I had a choice) so I'll atleast be able to watch the video highlights when I get off work in the evening "I believe I referred to her personality as a potential science exhibit." - Elaine, about Ellen, in "The Dog"
We ain't happy with that result, 2 - 1 would have been a fair result, but then again, football ain't fair :-) Kasper ( Odense, Denmark)

How does baseball fit into that ? To me it looks like a less formal version of Cricket. Kasper

I think we need to generalize the 'all cricket posts go in the Soapbox' rule to read all 'sports-of-interest-to-more-than-one-nationality posts go in the Soapbox' :sigh:.

Fox Sports World is also good for soccer. You just have to cross your fingers and hope that they don't have that absurd Aussie Rules Football stuff on. I caught a good bit of EPL play because I get Fox Sports World on campus. I've been dying without it now that I'm home for the summer, though. Those rare MLS games that you catch on TV on the major networks are just too painful after watching EPL. I've been making up for it by playing soccer 3-4 times a week.

Ive been here about two years. Michael Dunn wrote: to Spanish stations I know. I have dish 100. They said they would have to change all my programming to get me the futbol (:)) at a reasonable rate. I'm so rabid I'd have taken it and watched only football...but my roomates would've killed me. So living by watching on the net.

I remember last year in the Champions League they showed the first match of the second leg of the semifinals (Milan-Inter 1-1) and when I was waiting lip smacking next day for the second leg of Real-Juve (a cracking match in the end) they showed something like horse racing or something :(( "I believe I referred to her personality as a potential science exhibit." - Elaine, about Ellen, in "The Dog"

Putting the laughter back into slaughter
Laugh Laugh. I would like to see a cricket batter ( paddler ?) try to hit a major league curve ball with that silly little paddle thingey they use. Even bigger laughs would be had to see them try to hit a really good fastball ( 96-100 MPH). Its a thinking mans game and I would not expect someone that doesn't know the game to understand. i have a friend that is a big rugby fan - he actually thinks that some of those poor little rugby players could make it in the NFL. Now that would be a sight to see. Ugly but still ....... Richard "He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
