USA game on the other hand, 1-0 after 32 seconds. Unbelievable Geoff!

@a_5mith
Yeah, and Ghana playing just like Nigeria, slightly better still still unimaginative. I think USA will win.

If you did not watch the Nigeria vs Iran match, you spent your time very well. I just wasted more than 90 minutes watching the most boring, unimaginative football match ever. It was so bad even the crowd started booing.

Yeah At least I was working while watching but it was a seriously boring game. Then again I guess we've been spoilt by the other goal-fests

USA game on the other hand, 1-0 after 32 seconds. Unbelievable Geoff!

I have a bit of a soft spot for Dempsey coz he used to play for Spurs, so I guess I'll be rooting for USA for that group anyways

Two cracking goals from Belgium. Really good from Fellaini & Mercent.

psychobunny

Took them a while to wake up and start playing though

How is that? The score reads 1-1

a_5mith

@planner It finished 2-1, they scored again after 5 minutes or so.

psychobunny

Haha game is over already, planner's TV station is 15 minutes late

@psychobunny

Sorry @planner for the spoiler.

psychobunny

planner's TV station is 15 minutes late

I shouldn't have told him that, I could have made a few bucks off betting with him

finid

Damn!

I'm watching it online, for free, of course.

Wait, Belgium just scored, at about the 80th minute

psychobunny

Where do you live? Depending on your country you can actually get the game live for free (like a legit stream) on one of the national broadcasting stations. In Canada for example, it's CBC

I'm actually over here in our America.

I knew something was wrong when the commentator's voice is like slow motion. Yesterday was fine, today appears to be messed up. Will see what happens for the next game.

Btw, I'm watching it over Drakulastream.eu

@psychobunny Every game is shown live in the UK on either the BBC or ITV. Which is great. We've even got people like Thierry Henry & Alan Shearer on the presenters panel discussing the game during halftime and at the end of the match. #

Or you could watch it like this:

Apparently in USA you can watch it via ESPN: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/

Man I hope this works when I'm in the states this week or else I'm gonna cry

As much as possible, I avoid US commentators, because they tend to be annoying. Much of what they say is only tangentially related to what's going on.

I'm reasonably sure that you can pick up the CBC over the air transmission from Buffalo Not sure if it goes much farther than that though.

/me loves not paying a cent for HD television...

I've been waiting years for England to play like Spain, now they are.

Awful performance.

julian

England was awful this last game... Was not impressed.

a_5mith

@julian One thing I know for sure is that Hodgson needs to go. Some of the players on the field were visably struggling with ball control and passing ability, yet he refused to take them off and instead just conceded defeat. I have no idea what Barkley was doing on the pitch, by all means give him a go, but the pressure got to him early on.

Ah well. I don't know why I expected anything different. Supporting England is a bit like being a Tottenham supporter. (Sorry @psychobunny)
