I would think maybe seperate for each USA game and maybe a seperate one for any big games after the first phase such as maybe a Germany/England matchup(dont know if that can happen with the way its setup)

6/9/2006 11:35:51 AM

I think we should keep everything in here and if the US are on fire, a lot of the posts will be about them anyway.

Woody Paige just picked Trinidad to win it all. hahahaha i think its funny listening to these commentators on Cold Pizza, Around the Horn, and PTI try to discuss the World Cup and they know nothing about it

6/9/2006 11:39:37 AM

CONCACAF pride!

Hold up your brothers in CONCACAF! (except Mexico )

Ok, those watching the game have fun. I'm staying away from this thread and watching it when I get home.

He was on Around the Horn yesterday saying "Yes, I'm excited. We have to go for our hemisphere. We're on the road!"

I think Woody knows Trinidad's not gonna win. He's just being funny.

Live radio from the BBC for those stuck at work.

6/9/2006 11:54:13 AM

Hmmm I wonder if it will work if I watch the game from that Spanish link posted on the last page and listen to the BBC radio...

6/9/2006 11:57:30 AM

ESPN2 for those who don't know where the game is...

6/9/2006 11:57:34 AM

Spanish link doesn't work for me, unless it hasn't started streaming yet

6/9/2006 11:59:25 AM

It stopped working for me too. It was working a few minutes ago, but it wasn't streaming anything, just playing various footage from previous games. They are probably in the process of switching over to Germany vs. Costa Rica.

Yep its working now. I'm getting sound but no picture...

Well nevermind that BBC link. They just cut the stream off.

6/9/2006 12:01:45 PM

This fucking sucks, damn Germans

6/9/2006 12:07:02 PM

nice damn shot though.. but yeah fuck the germans

6/9/2006 12:07:57 PM

wtf they scored already?

6/9/2006 12:09:29 PM

there HAS to be a way to stream this fucking game.

like stream as in watch it, not listen to it.

6/9/2006 12:10:17 PM

I can't even listen to it

blah blah blah contractual obligations

yep.. should have jsut scored their 2nd one.. Costa Rica is playing really sloppy so far and making Germany look real good

6/9/2006 12:11:39 PM

damn.. tie game.. for those of you who cant listen to it

6/9/2006 12:13:59 PM

You watch the stream that is only availale to the U.K.

1-1... offsides trap failed

6/9/2006 12:14:41 PM

You can try MatchCast on yahoo. No audio/video, but at least you get some descriptions of play by play (takes a few tries to connect).

2-1 Germany

[Edited on June 9, 2006 at 12:18 PM. Reason : foo]

6/9/2006 12:16:51 PM

2-1 Germany.. i have a feeling this game is going to get ugly

6/9/2006 12:19:13 PM

lol, man costa ricas defense is horrible

6/9/2006 12:20:54 PM

mmmm goal fest

6/9/2006 12:21:44 PM

Is Costa Rica really this bad to only have one shot on goal in over 20 minutes

6/9/2006 12:24:51 PM

the germans have never been no slouch on defense...its not odd for a team to only have one shot in 20 minutes

6/9/2006 12:25:49 PM

Costa Rica is trying to play the ball into the air to their fowards too much which isnt gonna work against the massive germans.. when they play feet it seems like they are hesitant to push up and help the fowards

6/9/2006 12:27:21 PM

no way is wanchope taking on the entire german defense

6/9/2006 12:30:28 PM

the referees seem to be letting them play, which is good

the last world cup was really terrible in that regard

6/9/2006 12:47:44 PM

thats a badass Adidas commercial

and I agree with Balboa.. i always hated playing flatback 4 and playing offsides trap.. its hard to have all 4 players on the same page and get everyone to step up at the same exact time

[Edited on June 9, 2006 at 12:51 PM. Reason : a]

6/9/2006 12:50:18 PM

some of the offside calls seem a little fishy...

not all of them, but some of them could have made a big difference

6/9/2006 12:51:04 PM

Baros could be out for Monday's game:

So I guess no one ever had any luck finding a radio or video stream then?

6/9/2006 1:00:26 PM

Ja, Deutschland!!! gotta support both my german and english heritage!

6/9/2006 1:03:23 PM

i usually CANNOT stand balboa when he calls games but i do agree with him on germany making a big mikstake playing the offsides trap

6/9/2006 1:07:11 PM

possession Germany 67% Costa Rica 33% ... about what i figured

6/9/2006 1:13:20 PM

You can watch here if your ISP allows it: http://broadband.espn.go.com/broadband/EBB2/web/shellMain?ceid=2474224

6/9/2006 1:13:29 PM

3-1 germany

6/9/2006 1:21:59 PM

That Spanish link is working!

6/9/2006 1:27:38 PM

They were discussing this on PTI the other day, but they dont really know what they are talking about so I figured I'd see what everyone on here thought.. what do you think will be a success for the USA?

I say just getting out of the group would be somewhat of a success even though we made it to quarterfinals last WC.. maybe even win a game after group play

6/9/2006 1:31:17 PM

3-2

didn't see that goal coming

6/9/2006 1:31:37 PM

3-2

6/9/2006 1:31:38 PM

gg on making lehmann my starting keeper today in the fantasy league



[Edited on June 9, 2006 at 1:33 PM. Reason : ]

6/9/2006 1:32:26 PM

just winning a game in the group would be success for me for the US

6/9/2006 1:33:26 PM

can you change your lineup everyday?

[Edited on June 9, 2006 at 1:33 PM. Reason : ^^]

6/9/2006 1:33:26 PM

yeah, 23 man roster, you decide who starts every day depending on who is playing that day

6/9/2006 1:34:15 PM

ahh, sweet, when do rosters have to be set?

6/9/2006 1:35:01 PM

I think I got a proxy working... I am on the bbc.co.uk site, but I can't see where to launch the streaming video...

6/9/2006 1:36:08 PM

before kickoff of the first game that day i think

6/9/2006 1:36:36 PM

3-2 so far for Germany.... will it hold?

the usa's play in group play will be crucial. if they advance (which will be tough as it is with italy, czech, and ghana being no walk in the park) the have to advance at the top, or else they will most likey play brazil in the first stage of knockout play (assuming brazil finishes atop their group - which is almost a certainty unless croatia pulls off a major upset).

to think the USA will repeat the success we had in 2002 is expecting much, and playing a hard game against brazil (again, assuming we advance) should be considered a success for this cup.
